PCF Q&A

HomeLanFed have had the chance to put a few questions to PCFs Adrian Chmielarz in the last of the present series of “Games in 2004-2005”.

The Q&A basically talks about PC and Console games that have already been released, and are yet to be released. Adrian mentions HL2 as being one of the best games to ever hit PC. I tend to disagree, but nevermind. :p

Painkiller Maps Released

As promised a a short while ago, the THREE new Painkiller maps have been released. Developed by Ritual Entertainment, the 3 maps have the following names:

DM_Absinthe, DM_Balist and DM_5quid01

Ive ran around the maps, just to see what they were like.. and all I can say at the moment is that DM_Absinthe looks like the most playable (competitively).

The other two are “ok”, but lack that special appeal. You decide though.

Please remember that the three maps are only in testing stage, so they are NOT finished. You can also give feedback on the maps here.
