I don't think most of you remember Hostile Freedom. It was an action-oriented mod that reached its peak around the summer of last year. Since it's now defunct, I figure I may as well share the design document with you guys.
The basic premise is that: it's the future, all prisoners are sent to a colony planet called Hammerstein, the prisoners eventually rebel, Opanara marine corporation is sent in to take care of them.
I think we definitely had some innovative ideas. One of the themes was enforcing team-oriented gameplay. So our scoring system was based around rewarding actions that help the entire team, hence no solo play. If you were a high enough player in your team, you could issue voice commands, and your teammates would recieve points if they complied with those commands. There was also a lot of little things that made it cool, and that I would've loved to see made. Looking back, I see that it was an ambitious project.
The document itself is around 40 pages, and wasn't nearly done when I left it. I wrote the entire thing, but everything in it was discussed between me and Nostradamous (the team leader).

The reason we died out is mainly a lack of help. Most of the original team left or hadn't contributed at all, and every potential new team member didn't get around to really joining. So it was just me and Nos.
Enjoy.
