Starsiege: 2845 Update (new video)

I figured some may find this interesting. Starsiege: 2845 is a total conversion MOD being developed in conjunction with Tribes: Vengeance, and may be a co-package, depending on what Sierra decides to do with it. starsiege2845.com/ is the website. Take note that it's being modded using UT2K3 at the moment, before it can be handed over for proper conversion.

The latest update was the largest to date, with six seperate threads being posted on the forums, containing a character bio, new weapons, etc. The biggest news, and the reason I'm bothering to post, is the first in-game footage released. It's pre-alpha, so the animations and ground collisions are a little off. The weapon affects are also stock UT2K3 animations ATM. You get the idea.

When the original file was released, the site was hammered pretty hard, so some mirrors were put up by some generous people.

All the files are .WMVs for some reason, btw, so if you can't play them, I suppose you're out of luck for the time being.

The Junkyard's mirror got hammered pretty badly, so the file has been removed from their servers. I believe it got over a thousand downloads in two days.

It should go without saying, but if any time you view it, please save to your own computer so it doesn't wreak havoc on any of the mirrors.
