How much power?

[mapperben]

Hello everyone,

How much power do you have over the coding in Half-Life2? Can you create a mod that is not an FPS?

I am curius because I want to recomend Half-Life2 to a local school here that teaches game design.

They have a group of 6 programmers there that would really apreciate your insite.

Thank you
Ben

There are several RTS mods coming out for HL2 actually

Yes, Half-Life 2 can be used for almost any 3D application. It's best use is for FPS games, but you are only limited by your creativity (and programming skill). I managed to make an RTS minigame for the original Half-Life game, it was quite enjoyable.
