Hi I'm new to these forums, and am looking to start an SP mod for HL2. Here is what I have so far, as well as a few variations for the story. I would like opinions on which one is best suited for an SP mod. This will continue the adventures of Gordon Freeman, but varies greatly from the storyline that has been set in the previous game. Also, for those who want to join such a project post here too, or email me at [email protected], thanks :).


Codename: Icarius Flight

It is some 200 years after the events in HL2, Gordon is woken up from his cryogenic state and is given a briefing by the G-Man. Apparently shortly after he was put into stasis an experiment by the Orbital Labs complex backfired (or was sabotaged) and the Earth rolled out of orbit from the Sun. This created an apocalypse that caused all of the human race to evacuate from the planet and land on mars, where they built their meager civilization. It was required for what was left of humanity to embrace cybernetics in order to survive. In the opening sequence, the G-man is shown with his cybernetic enhancements.

Gordon is sent back to what remains of Earth (now a barren, fiery wasteland) in order to retrieve the vital resource pods in order for the mars colony to survive.

Variation of the Story # 1:

Humanity somehow survives this Armageddon, and remains on Earth, the human race is still enhanced with cybernetics. But the planet is plagued by extreme weather phenomena, harsh cold, fiery heat (some spots are different than others depending on their position). Either Gordon must somehow prevent a nuclear winter due to an uprising, or organize a launch into space.


Variation #2:

Gordon is woken up before the catastrophe can reek complete havoc on earth, and he must reverse the effects of the experiment by traveling to the Orbital Labs and do whatever is necessary.

One more thing, if all of these story variations are just loads of crap, please don't hesitate to say something...
 
Not bad.. Doom basically yeah? heh Doom on the source engine.. bet thats gonna annoy a few die hard doomies. In which case go ahead, I like it when their faces go read and new veins appear on their foreheads :devil: :E
 
Well I haven't figured that out yet. But you will be able to "choose" your speciality within the game; sorta like an RPG but vastly different. I also plan on fairly non-linear level design and great immersion. The major feature of the mod however is supposed to be the epic storyline, this will all be combined to create a great single-player experience. After much thought, I don't think I'll be using the plot outlined above. But for anyone who wants to join this modding project please note that I plan on an extensive storyline w/ dynamic characters and many plot twists. I've already thought of some other ideas for the basis of the mod. One goes into depth of the events of HL, such as why & how everything worked out the way it did; this one is where you are working for the administrator. The other attempts to explain what eventually happened to Adrian Shepherd, the main character of Opposing Force. There are also many other ideas floating around in my head, but jsut too many to post down right now...

Also if its easier, for those who want to join you can just reply to this thread.
