Looks FANTASTIC!!! I'm so happy you're making this game again, it really looks like something special! If i could make one suggestion though (and i know from older versions of this game from years ago that this has been mentioned before), the zombies look too small when they are lay down dead; can you make them slightly bigger??
Apart from that though, my favourite HWA graphics on any MMF game ever! EVER!!
Quazi - Yeah it's pretty much the same method as the old flamethrower, just pulled off better and using the Additive ink effect in MMF2 instead of the 'Or' one in MMF1. Blends a lot smoother, especially the glow. I also have a
Mark - It doesn't use hardware accelerated unfortunately. When I try to load it in HWA MMF2, it crashes as soon as a machinegun bullet hits a zombie, no idea why. Also there are too many other random issues with the MMF2 HWA beta at the moment.
As for the small dead zombies, they're on the floor, further from the camera than the ones stood up. I had first sprites kinda the same size as the stood up zombies, and it didn't look right, perspective wise, so when I animated the 3D models, I made it so they fall onto a flat plane below their feet.
