SPEAK YOUR MIND
"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free
to move?"
"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as
metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course,
the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom,
as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning.
Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

: I'm curious as to what takes the longest to do in the
: game? (making the level, creating the models/skins,
: the physics, etc.)
What takes longest is usually subjective, and things can drag out for unusual long times for a number of arbitrary reasons (such as what is good enough, countless improvements etc). Also, something takes longest when you have the least number of skilled people working on it, or when there are simply giants amount of something to do. In M:Rs case, creating the levels "seems" to take longest because there are so many of them, and because they require elements from all other aspects of the game (models, animation, sounds, lighting, sprites, code, scenery etc).
In short, there's no straight answer. Every individual bit is a large or small a task as you make it to be. Generally speaking though, if you want something done very well then EACH aspect from modeling to texturing to level design will take about the same amount of time...LOTS.
: Since I don't have 1337 aiming skills, I like to use the
: crosshairs, but they don't always show up in the
: multiplayer, and never in the single player. Why's
: this?
The crosshair option in M:R is normally disabled. Due to some demand, the crosshairs have been implemented in the multiplayer part of the game as a serverside option. If you join a hosted multiplayer game that has this option turned on, or if you create a game in which you turn this option on for multiplayer you will see crosshairs, otherwise..you won't. There are no crosshairs for the single player game.
: Also, I seem to have run into a bug, when I get double
: pistols, the secondary fire doesn't always work and I
: can't fire with both. Is this a problem on my end, or
: a problem with the demo itself?
The demo (version 1.2) shouldn't have this problem. I recommend removing all bits of previous version of M:R you might have had before and re-install M:R 1.2 again. If the problem persists, then it is a legitimate bug that has been dormat from previous versions.....hmm.
: *bows* thank you for your time.
You're welcome.
