FAS News (27 FEB 2009)

Shinobi, true to his word, has posted another media update for FAS, highlighting ps_crossfire, the M3 shotgun and M79 grenade launcher.

PS_crossfire is a new map for FAS made by Shinobi that has a "focus on intense close quarters combat." PS_crossfire is a throw back to older, more linear FA maps, but has enough routes that spam and stale mates are less of an issue.


The M3 shotgun, modeled by Schmung, textured by Dr.Hubbler and animated by Thisismyname09, will be FAS's only shotgun at launch. "The M3 is...a semi-auto shotgun," Oelund describes here, "The reason it looks like a pump action shotgun, is because it is designed to fire many different types of ammo." Less leather rounds are not able to cycle the bolt, which is why it also has pump action.


The M79 grenade launcher, modeled by Schmung, textured by Dr.Hubbler and animated by Thisismyname09 is FAS's only grenade launcher. Shinobi ensures that the weapon is balanced so it "can flush out sniper and machine gun nests, but also reduce the spam levels."
