    Haha, like my pun?

    Anyway, 2.25 has some new particle effects, as beerdude has previously posted.
    You may have seen his vehicle dust, very witty, very silly.
    The effects he was using were of course, explosion effects that I'd finished up for the devs ages ago, and they got implemented in vehicle dust :rolleyes:

    Luckily, I hit beerdude a few times with a nerf bat, and he put the particle effects where they belong, on vehicle weapons, and so, we enter the beautiful world of 2.25 particles, no longer will you be killed 8 miles away by an effect 2m in radius.

    You'll still be killed 8 miles away, but the effect will actually be the right size:

    I also have some nifty effects for things like, building placement and unbuilt smoke:

    Sabotage will make a return too, but I haven't got a screenshot on me.

    RPGs, perhaps:

    Blimps.

    Proper dust trails:

    Railguns, and plasma:

    Even maybe something, a little special, for the infantry...

    2.25 is going to be a blast.

    they look cool but i really hope most of these arent in 2.25. Maybe its just the HDR in some of those shots, but it seems very harsh on the eyes

    except maybe the arty :D

    Nice job Empty. Could you tone down the gold tracers a bit?

    They aren't tracers they're sparks.
    Nukes don't shoot tracers.

    It's not my fucking fault ark took my half decent tracers and uglified them to hell before 2.2s release.
