Help wanted for a new mod...

Ok so my friends and I have decided that we want to make a mod for HL2. We have decided upon making a modern day based mod for this. Here is a brief rundown of the story:
The United States and England are at war with the United Nations. Terrorists are also terrorizing the world.
Gameplay:
The gameplay will be a combination of Counter Strike, Day of Defeat, and Natural Selection. It will have all modern day equipment (including vehicles) and to win your team must capture all the points (flags) on the map like DoD. It is like NS because there is a commander for each team that buys better weapons and vehicles for the team to use. Or we may just have each individual player purchase his own weapons, we have not decided yet. So it would be U.S./England vs. a European country in the game. The twist would be that there would be a 3rd team in the game, the terrorists. Their goal is not to capture the points, but to bomb specific targets in each teams base and inflict as many casulties as possible to both teams. The terrorists would have very limited resources and would have to use hit and run attacks to conserve them.

We think that this mod has great potential, all we need now is a good team to start on it. My friend has a little bit of programming skills, but really we need people for every position. I am kind of like the project manager, and I do the research needed and brainstorming for it.
Ok so that's it, post your ideas here for it and if you are interested send me an email at [email protected]

I think this mod has great potential!
 
got any background info on why in gods name the US and UK would try and take on the UN ? seems like a bit of a radical change of events from those atm.
 
Well ok maybe the European Union not the UN makes more sense. Anyways, thensions between these countries has totally boiled over and the EO has decided that they want to be a sole superpower in the world. Story wouldn't matter that much because it would be a multiplayer mod, but a single player mod would also be awesome.
 
What game development capabilities do you and your friends have? Dedication?
 
As of now, we are very dedicated to making a mod and are trying as hard as we can to get a good team. My friend has some programming skills, and I am the writer/designer/PR guy right now, and he helps with that stuff also. I have no special abilities (coding/mapping/models/etc) but I think that if we can get a good group of guys together who are all dedicated we could make this work. Any other feedback on our ideas for the mod? I'd like to improve it as much as I can. So that is pretty much it, and I am still brainstorming names for it, I've got a few written down, but I'm trying to narrow the field for it. Thanks for the input Audiophile!
 
haha I guess we could fit him in somewhere :-P You guys think a single player, multiplayer, or single and multiplayer game would be best for this mod?
 
Design is certainly a special ability, as important as mapping or modeling or texturing.

Are you qualified in design or are you just wearing the title as your position, I mean? I don't want to bring you down, but design is a major job for a game that entails far more work and responsibility then you might think.
 
No, I am not a qualified person in design but I have came up with many good concepts for games before, and whatever I don't know about it I'll pick up as the mod moves on. Plus, everyone's input would be equally counted in the decision making process. I see what you mean by your post, and I'm not offended at all :) I realize that this would take lots of time and work to complete, but if I think that we have a dedicated crew we could do it.
 
Ok so someone else contacted me who can make maps no problem and is working on modeling also. Anyone else here interested? Also, if I find someone that is a better leader than myself for this mod and who wants to, I'll let them be the team leader so they can do a better job than me and I'll just be part of the team. Anyone want to get involved with this up-and-coming mod?
 
Anyone else interested? (bump) Also if you think you would make a good team leader for this mod tell me. Thx! :D

btw I have a few guys already so we are really close to getting this mod started, also would like a guy for web design.
