HL2: Wars Multiplayer Beta 1.0 Released

[Hectic Glenn]

It's been a while since we last saw a release from HL2: Wars, however they are back after making huge progress with the release of Beta 1.0! Our very own Ennui has sacrificed time with us to work on HL2: Wars, how we miss him. Anyway, what can you find in 1.0?

The multiplayer beta has vastly improved performance and entirely reworked code from 0.5 (which is why it has taken more than two years to deliver!) and features three multiplayer game modes: Overrun, Antlion Skirmish and Antlion Capture the Point.

Overrun is much like a tower defence mode while Antlion Skirmish involves playing against other players, holding antlion pheromone markers to produce more units. If you've never checked out HL2: Wars before, it is a Half-life themed RTS mod with all the units you would come to expect.[br] Head on over to the HL2: Wars moddb page to download now and while you are there vote for your Mod of the Year , HL2: Wars would love your vote.[br]

Will this run on a really shitty laptop?

 

[Hectic Glenn]

Does Episode 2 run on your shitty laptop? It requires it to play, so I assume the specs are somewhere around the OB level.

Thanks glenn <3

riomhaire it's probably a bit more CPU intensive than Ep2 is but graphically if you can run HL2 you should be relatively fine, since Source has excellent LOD scaling on models/textures.

Wow, I played the .5 beta when it came out, absolutely loved it. Apart obviously from its brievity. Am looking forward to playing this!
Thanks, Ennui.

Not that I ever played it, but I always thought it was awesome.

I love the concept for this. You've really done an amazing job on it!

I kinda want to play this now. 0.5 was great fun, and this should be heaps better.
