[GALLERY] Chains' Scribbles

Canada = No diploma/degree = no work out of country permit.
That's one of the main reason's I am going to uni for 3d next year.

Also, lets not keep derailing Chains thread.

[Crackers]

I am fine with the conversation, it is relevant.

Anyways your suggestion to get known in the modding community is an interest I have always had, I just can't find a decent mod team that isn't working on a almost dead game. I was on Higuy's project for a while, but I just can't get into halo anymore, I had loads of fun back in the day, but I just don't feel that spirit anymore for it.

@Dark Halo: Yes and no. A studio may just as easily look at the resumé and say "hey, this guy taught himself everything he knows; that's some serious dedication and we could use that."

A degree can work either way, which is why it really boils down to the experience.

Chains: you could start your own project in whatever game/engine you want. Just remember The Rule: have something to show before recruiting.

or join something that's already in progress.

i joined www.eternal-silence.net when hl2 was just released.

making a full conversion mod and getting it steam-published and being able to say 'i did about 80% of all the visuals' will really land you ANY entry-level job in the games biz.

Hey, I followed that for awhile. I never did play it though, I got caught up with other things.

[neuro]

turned out retty fucking good, too bad nobody played it heh.
too steep learning curve.

[Warsaw]

Learning curves don't concern me. Good gameplay once you do learn, does.

This is why CoD and Battlefield suck. They don't really have a learning curve and they are pretty brain-dead games to me. I'll have to download ES and give it a whirl (I remember the alpha one).

Battlefield can be a rather strategic game if you have the right people on your team. If not then yes, it's a lot of mindless carnage. I hate that CoD and Battlefield get put in the same category of game. They're so different it's not even funny.

AI had a presentation at my school a while ago.
It
was
adorable.

They had AI students talk over this animation so they can pretend it belongs to them.

[Warsaw]

That's pretty damn atrocious. I would not want to be affiliated with AI in any way, shape, or form.

They are also so similar it's not even funny.

I acknowledge the strategic differences, but the truth is that DICE has played them down too much. It's an option on the table for play, where as it used to be a requirement. BC2 had a better balance between CoD-style play and Battlefield-style play; all they needed to do was introduce a Support class for a total of five and add jets back in that had a focus on anti-air; also maps with more than 4 capture points.
