Despite the popularity of the cyberpunk genre, so far no one has been able to make a multiplayer game in the cyberpunk setting that has become popular. Using the following as a list for inspiration we have two coders who are looking for additional members interested in making a GOOD cyberpunk mod. Our .plan file is being fleshed out and space for the official website has been secured. Current .plan calls for 3 teams, two corporate teams which fight with each other for mission objectives and a third police team with much fewer players. WE hope to have a large amount of NPCs able to wander through a cityscape, doing so without hogging bandwidth or CPU utilization will be difficult but surely not impossible in the days of 4 gighertz PCs and common broadband.
While weapondry and equipment will be bought similar to in counter-strike, cybernetics and attributes will be very different from any other game created. 6 slider bars arranged like the spokes of a wheel will control the 6 major stats of the character. A line drawn from each setting on each bar creates a 6 sided shape, whos total area variates depending on the different settings of the slider bars. This area is the "cost" of the cybernetics, and gives us a novel way to have both character diversity but prevent uber-characters. Adding special cybernetics, like legjacks, personel shields, internal arm-guns cause the overall size of the shape to increase and thus higher character cost.
Making a mod that allows both cool cybernetic abilities, yet maintains balance is very difficult, none the less I believe with the proper planning it is doable. If your interested, feel free to post or send me a message. We have 2 coders, but could use a third coder with prior hl experience. Like every other vapor mod, additional members are welcome.

). If you want Cyperpunk stylings, wait for Deus Ex 2 (sorry for mentioning yet another game on the HL2 forum, so heres sum mindless plugs for Valve: BUY HALF LIFE 2 NOW) lol. And one final note: Counter-Strike is not the only decent mod ever, so why does everyone reference it when talking about buying weapons, sure that was an achievement, back then, but it isnt now, so many people know how to do it and do it better, so stop the CS idea cloning (yes i am aware that I probably broke all rules of grammar and contradicted myself at least once in that last sentence)
