L0ckdown Announced

[Æther]

A new single player mod for Half-Life 2 is headed to your machine in the future. It's called L0ckdown and it's being created by Sloanbone from City Seventeen. Here's his description of the mod:

I have started a new single player mod called "l0ckdown". It basicaly starts with you in a prison cell waiting for execution by the combine. It will be a full fledged single player conversion with all the bells and whistles (scenes, custom textures, etc). I have some screenshots to show of the initial jail cell scene, and the trip to the execution chamber when the resistance come to the rescue.

It looks and sounds great so far. Check out the images below and head over to this thread on the City Seventeen forums for more info and images.[br]

Looks nice, except that I know the story now

offtopic: isn't your sig too big?

 

[-Stratesiz-]

The news are getting cluttered with all these laughable media releases. There is absolutely nothing to see in those images. There needs to be a some sort of quality standard.

 

[lonestar]

that's actually a neat idea

 

[A True Canadian]

Rather luxurious for a detention center. Is that a crystal light in the first pic?

 

[SimonomiS]

Does the zero in L0ckdown have any relevance to the story? Looks kinda of stupid just for the "k3wln3ss" factor...

 

[RaBiD WeAzEL]

heh... Yeah, the zero thing'd be goofy if it doesn't intertwine with the story.

But I do like the idea.
I'd like to play it.

 

[aeroripper]

laughable media releases no kidding

this really isn't a lot to show, i could have whipped up something similar in about 30 min

they really shouldn't show anything on the news page about it till at least 3\4 of the level is done

 

[Varsity]

Nice custom shader, but otherwise this is a silly excuse for a media release.

 

[lemonfridge]

l0ckdown? someone slap the tit who thought up the name.

and yeah. boring, goodfer nothin' screenies. i agree with #3, #8 & #9.

 

[benpatient]

that window is a silly excuse for a "custom" shader.

Where have you EVER seen a window like that?

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. And just because you make a cool looking glass texture doesn't mean you should make a mod to display it in. But if you do, be sure it makes some logical sense.

One-way glass would make sense there...or 90/10 glass or something like that...but extreme ripples? This isn't a bathroom window for beginner exhibitionists...it's an execution chamber, right?

well, maybe the mod will be cool...

 

[ComradeBadger]

HL-style geometry tbh :|

 

[Zigrah]

If they didn't do these laughable media updates then you guys would have nothing to whine in complain about on these forums to aff meaning to your miserable lives. One mans garbage is another mans treasure... looks aren't everything and a single player mod could be neat.

I am so sick of peoples complaints... if you can whip one of these up n 30 minutes than do it... because I want to see some mods and I think this site is pretty cool to showcase even the more simplistic ones.

It's not a window

One of those scifi combine force fields we see in the game.. Except different.

Stop making such drastic judgements about the mod based on what you said yourself to be vague and plain screenshots.

That's pretty disrespectful.

I'm looking forward to this mod

Probably the ONLY mod i'm truely looking forward to.

damn you people are mean. i sometimes wonder why people even bother to bring new content to people who just trash it.

try to remember, mods are made by amateurs. showing their media encourages them, constuctive criticism is one thing, but if you just want to come in and slam some 15 year old who's at least trying....well get a life.

if you don't like the media and don't like the mods posting it, then why do you bother even making a comment

please people, even tho its lack, someone was proud enough to show it.

Glad to hear SOMEONE likes it

offtopic: isn't your sig too big?

Not anymore

 

[Dodo]

hmmm... looks, good... but id ont like te tile-textures. there's a lot more contrast in the textures in HL2, they should add more detail in the textures, and add more geometry in the levels... like wondow frames..

 

[DarkStar]

Guys, this looks cool.

Quit ripping on the damn dude, when he's making free SP content for you all to play.

You're all meaner than bag of drunk, sweaty dicks.

 

[polyguns]

i love sp maps better then anything. cause i get pwnt on mp maps, and mods take too long. I know the sp maps for FC blew me out of the water more then the ones that came with the game. I can't wait for sp maps of that calibur to be out for hl2

 

[Barnz]

mod looks nice.

the zero in lockdown is so elite. i wish i could be that cool as to have a number in my name

 

[Vegeta897]

I think those tiles are temporary. Placeholders, if you will.

Notice how it says there WILL be custon textures. Future tense.

 

[MjM]

I like the screenshots alot. They have a nice feel to them. Also it makes for nice juxtaposition.

 

[Mr-Fusion]

Kind of reminds me of th1138.

The pics have a trippy atmosphere the sparseness gives it an oppressive feeling, i'd stick with it and not listen to the critics. This is art, not some frigging mass marketed game for the moron demographic who want GUNS ACTION GUNS AND MORE ACTION.

 

[BackFyr]

the screen shots look reall good, I'll watch the progression on this and hopefully we'll get another awesome singleplayer mod outta the deal..

I do have one question though about the premise... why is the combine executing people? I am pretty sure they would much rather just send u to nova prospect (or simular place) to turn u into a stalker if you were being bad... just an inquiry.. but it looks good

 

[-Stratesiz-]

I wouldn't really call images of two square rooms from different angles a mod. What next?

 

[Mess]

Those shaders are impressive. I need to learn how to make them.

Maybe you're more important and they don't want to risk you getting out and fighting back again

We'll have to see.

The first screen shot of the all-white cell is how I envisioned the holding cell they put Winston Smith in in the book 1984. For those of you who read.

 

[LongFo]

Looks cool, I like that white cell and the way it´s all very clean, gives me a creapy feeling. Keep up the great work, looking forward to play it !

 

[TheAmazingRando]

Isn't there a video release of this map on Amped, showing off the first few seconds of the map?
