Hoping for a good SWAT/ Special Forces mod

[Black-Falcon]

I dont think people realise the LARGE potential of this engine. Unlike BF1942 it its going to have an SDK, and easy modibillity. I really hope someone pushes out a good SWAT or special forces mod for this!!

 

[crabcakes66]

WOW....more CS ...how about something original..get the hell out....

 

[mchammer75040]

i agree crab there is already like 100 cs rip offs plan so go here
http://hl2.burstfire.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3384
look at my list of mods, close ur eyes and randomly pick one-more than likely it will end up having to do with terroists vs task force, SEALS...etc.

Hey i would def. prefer a SWAT mod over some medieval dinosaur poked00d mod. If you take a look at mods like Leave no man behind, cold war melting point, Op. CO-IN. Those mods are totally different from CS!!! Open your eyes and realize how different and more detailed they are. Same thing with WWII mods. Last great war is completely different from DoD. I am def. looking forward to MOST of the military mods for HL2 then any other mod coming out. Of course this is just my opinion.

BF could do the same, easily...
When one try to alter gameplay you hit a snag though.

Let's see some more medieval type modifications. One's where you can wage war with each other with magic and steel. An Arcanum inspired mod would be fun as well. Or even horse racing. Anything can be fun if made right.

I would find that totally boring.

Medieval things are hard to mod from a shooting game cause the style is all different. Needs lots of new models and especially animations... Well, everything needs to be replaced
Another shooter game still have the base of HL2... That's why there are many of that.
In my mod though, "Unnamed" (I'm so clever ), I was thinking on altering weapons to slightly more ancient style. Sticks to be exact. Sticks with a pointy rock on, melee spears, throwing javelins (poisonous, heavy, light, whatever) and more, that would be powerfull enough to literally throw the player back when hit You never known fear until you see a stick with TNT attached on it fly towards you
But if it becomes to large file I wont do it... Me hopes that HL2 has an animation that's good for throwing stuff.
Crap that I cant even update the page, I hate this ancient-oh-so-fast temporary computer ;(

 

[Sgt.Igneri]

OMG! Now that would be cool. Just a sticks and stones mod. Out in the middle of nowhere 50,000,0000 years ago. Just a bunch of guys duking it out with sticks and shit. DAMN THAT WOULD PWN.

BTW dawdler, didnt you only have a PS burnout? Just buy a new PS and stop bitching dammit!

Nonono, I wont do it long ago, I would still use HL2 models (except the weapons of course) and maps (possibly new maps separatly from mod). Think of it as WW4 if you wish .
My goal is a mod that will fit on my page, meaning a roof of around 8mb. Aiming at around 5mb (maps of course would be much larger). Wont know until HL2 is out of course, but as small as it possibly can be.

And yes it was a PSU burnout. However, I've only had it like 4-5 months, and its a quality piece of hardware. Still have warranty, its just that snail mail is so slooooooow... I'm not dying without my computer, just a bit tormented. Unless HL2 comes out before I get a new one, then I'll die, hehe.

Hehe yeah, i knew thats where dawdler got that from. But what i mean is someone should make a mod of what i said, i wasnt talking to dawdler specifically.

Yeah, but its so large... That would also mean an entire different gameplay, new models and new maps to make a credible mod, it would be huge... It was the same for BF. Mods become like 300-400mb to download!! I downloaded several of the first version (DC, merciless, whatever), then I simply stopped, wasnt worth the time... That's why my mod is a hybrid, I dont care about realism, I just want it to as accesible and easy to download as possible
If that means running around and throwing javelins at each other in a prison in the future, then so be it

 

[Plopfish]

well isnt CS2 officaly in dev and on the Source engine anyway?

 

[Ridic]

damn cs to hell

Hey, its an excellent idea. If you think on it, many many MANY games are the same idea (most fps multiplayer). CS just lacked intelligence, they should have kept the players under harsher rules... I hope my mod will help with that, as I dont care about stupid realism, I will force the players to use teams whether they want it or not. Well, or it will fall into the Void Of Unknown Mods as one of the most moronic mods yet, but it doesnt matter for ME

Wow, i guess you don't like anything that is popular, original (at the time), fun, well designed, and free.

Seem like the kind of games you lie is NYPD firefighter.

I perosnally don't play cs because of the hackers and whiny 10 year olds, but take thema way and you have a great game! It's the game the counts, not the players.

 

[MapE]

I just don't get this,,, he says he wants a SWAT mod and you bash him for being unoriginal.. For god sake let the man have his requests, and do you seriussly se CS as a game in that catagory ? When someone says special forces games i think of, Raven Shield, Rainbow 6, SWAT series.... Not CS. That's some action with a special forces theme.

 

[Black-Falcon]

what i was talking about is a SUPER realistic mod...along the lines of Rainbow 6 but not that real. I kinda have a set idea but its hard to describe. But DEFINATLY nothing like CS!!!! i hate CS it can go to hell!!!

dont abuse the word hacker.

A hacker is a guy that explore the limits of a program and learn every little bit of it. A cracker is someone that go and crack server and do illligal things.

The word your after is script kidde or just lamer...

 

[mchammer75040]

i think op COIN and lnmb will be good and have some original ideas but there is still alot of cs rip offs seriously go look at the 150 mods annocounced in the moddb.com for hl2 and youll see alot with the fighting terroists theme. Im not bashing anyone im just angry at the unoriginality of most mods. MapE your missing my point, my point is that they all fall into the same cateogory of terroists vs [insert whatever special force] you cant disagree with that. Whta i wanna see is a mod based on something more original.

 

[H2HSnake]

yeah go to www.3dslut.com that's a greatest Hl2 mod that u can play already...before Hl2 comes out, it's even better than counterstrike...hehehehehehehehehehehehe.:afro: :bounce: :cheese:
(BTW i am sure that HL2 models should looks even better than these)

 

[Sgt.Igneri]

Hey cool site! Glad to see 12 year olds these days are looking at virtual pr0n and not real!

 

[Argyll]

Op: CO-IN -- http://opcoin.city-17.net -- is going for realism, but isn't the SWAT or Special Forces type of game that you are looking for. Although, there is going to be SF implemented, but you can't be them right away. I'm sure there is something out there for you, just keep on searching!

 

[Sgt.Igneri]

Im especially looking to Op. CO-IN as my No.#1 mod right now.

Games are games fellas. No clones, no rip-offs, no nothing. Today it is virtually impossible to come up with a fun, playable, and most importantly, original idea. The action genre is where it is at today thanks to games like Counter-Strike, Rainbow Six and Soldier of Fortune. Good artists borrow, great artists steal. It's simple. Counter-Strike turned to Rainbow Six for inspiration and ideas. Everyone uses other peoples ideas and concepts to better theres.

If this fella wants to create a SWAT game, I suggest you let him. He is not bothering you. Hell, he isn't even asking you to play it. So give him a break and support the guy. It is simple. And be mature about it. Black-falcon, dude, rock on and good luck. Source is surely some impressive technology, so make some impressive shit! Ya herd me?

Oh, I know what you are exactly looking for, but the mod is currently for Half-Life and will be released soon (hopefully)

Check it out: http://www.planethalflife.com/hostileintent

It's going to be good!

 

[Chicken]

If your going to make a SWAT mod make sure you make it more like how SWAT operate than CS where you just run about doing boring shit

make it possible to hold hostages and make sure you can arrest also that would be nice
well you get the idea,do something new about it dont make a swat mod and make it just like CS with different maps only.

make it special and make sure its realistic and REMEMBER the MIRRORS they use for checking corners,i remember SWAT 3 had this,it was so cool

 

[mchammer75040]

U say original ideas are few and far inbetween?? Bullshit japan has a arcade game called bong ga bong ga or something like that where u stick ur finger in some machines ass seriously. Now thats original. Yea i wouldnt want that as a mod but my point is is there is alot more things that can be done with games than we think hell movies are so cliche but you can make a game about anything and if done right it could be entertaining. So y doesnt someone just make something so goofy or something that makes no sense but is a hell of alot of fun to play? Thats all im asking.
