Mod Idead: Bowling for Combine

[DarkStar]

I just saw Michael Moore's new movie and this popped into my head on the drive home.

Basically it would entail using the physics in Source to cause chain reactions and kill as many Combine as possible. The more death and destruction you create, the more points you get. Sorta like the Crash Mode in the Burnout series of game. What do you guys think?

 

[Shuzer]

So basically, you want a dominos mod using combine?
Or a bowling mod?

Or a mix of the both!?

 

[Gojin]

Sports mods are sure to show up. Hell, I want to see a Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe mod.... Now that was a great game. With top down view and all!

 

[PunisherUSA]

LOL, I read Moore + COLUMBINE instead of Combine. I was going "WTF!? People are gonna get pissed!!" I was writing a couple paragraphs comparing the contrevertiality (is that a word?) of this mod (Moore + Columbine i thought) and 'promised land.

But I digress...

Sounds kinda cool, I know what you mean. Problem is people will get bored fast and there is little potential as fast-paced multiplayer.

I wouldn't make up your mind about all the way the facts were presented in bowling for columbine, he is a good film maker but it always helps to check out a few of his facts.

Although i am looking forward to see his new one coming out today

I think a mod on it would be boring but hey ... go crazy

Actually I just sort of liked the name...hehe

Anyway, yeah, sorta a combination of the two. It would be cool if it was sorta like Burnout. Have you ever played that? Basically you try to crash and cause as much damage as possible. Only this you would have a room that is set up with all sorts of dangerous shit all over, ready to be blown up and knocked to pieces. Then you throw a bowling ball or something into the room at certain angle and a certain speed, causing as much death and destruction as possible. More destruction = more points.

There's a bunch of details that would have to be worked out by that's the basic concept.

No, read it again. It's "Bowling for Combine."

 

[Shuzer]

lol, how would you make a mod of Bowling for Columbine?

Gordon walks into a bank in Texas, opens a CD, gets a rifle.. and so it begins!

Yep, but i think this needs re-itterating for those hard-of-seeing:

Combine != Columbine

 

[Eejit]

Nah, just one word for sporting HL2 mods: Rollerball.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

When the movie came out I always read it as;
Bowling for Concubine
After I saw it I always read it as;
Bowling for Carbine
Now I always read it as;
Bowling for Combine

Are you dyslexic :angel: I'm just kidding around, I do things like that when I first read some titles too

Well if I am dyslexic at least I'm improving over time :E

 

[dassbaba]

rofl dude thats really funny

hlmedieval is doing something like that but not bowling balls or combine
#hlmedieval KABOOM

 

[FoxDie]

True, you are making progress :thumbs:

 

[Rocketman9mm]

Damn, I was hoping you were suggesting making a game where you shoot cardboard cut-outs of Michael Moore in a shooting gallery.

Hey! That's very inapropriate.



Cardboard cut-outs of Georgie Boy on the other hand...

 

[FoxDie]

What about a cardboard cut-out of them hugging? Then we can rid the world of all evils

 

[RoguePsi]

Anyway....yes. I like your mod idea!! A burnout style physics-based game would be most excellent.

You stole my idea. Or at least I used the same joke when merc was talking about their bowling award during his trip.

But that's ok, I let you use it. ^_^

 

[Cyanide]

I think it would be better if you made a bowling mod that used Moore as the pins. I mean, he's already got the proper shape to play the part. Heck, maybe you could even have an easter egg that unlocks Rosie O'Donnel pins, and another one that unlocks Oprah pins. There are so many annoying fat people you could use as pins. Maybe if you bowl a perfect game it unlocks Gabe Newell pins that give wrong estimates about how long it will be until your bowling ball comes back through the return machine.

Oh, sorry. Didn't see that post. I thought I was being original.

I was kidding! By all means, go ahead, I'll play it. :smoking:

Bowling for Combine

So.. why has nobody toyed with images yet, and made something like this:

I made a real quick and dirty job of it, and only afterwards I thought: "millions must have had the same idea".. :]

 

[Kester^]

Did you really, honestly, need to revive a 3 year old thread?

Is your life that boring?
