Yeah it looks like that has the possibility of being a great mod, there are others with almost exactly the same idea but nevermind.

I happen to like combine weaponary so i will prob try this mod once its done, please do a proper job, dont accept any old n00b that says "oh i can map, i've been mapping since the hl2 sdk came out", get people with experience.......a team of 5 high quality members is infinitely better than a "gang" of 28 n00bs like i see with some mods, all doing a little bit of crap work.

At the mo a lot of you work on the site is mainly show, concept made using screenshots from hl2DM e.t.c, the original stuff like the guns is ok.

 

[Dekstar]

Wow... Looking Great. Love the concept too - Playing a combine officer sounds IMMENSLY cool! Tell me, will you be in a city as a metrocop at the start, and get to push people around and stuff?

Again, love the mod already! I wouldn't mind helping, but I'm tied up in my own mod at the moment.

 

[JackLipke]

Thanks :cheese:

There will be much pushing and 'enforcement'.

Yeah, the main idea right now for the site is to try to get more members into our mod and to convey the idea that we are hard at work right now, we are keeping a good amount of stuff under wraps.
Thanks for the feedback!

 

[AgentXen]

The model looks awsome.

 

[Dekstar]

I love the "Evolve. Control. Combine." Wallpaper. That looks just purdy. Mind if I use it on my desktop?

 

[short recoil]

AHAHAHAHAH, owned....your anouncement got deleted, good luck with the mod, you've gonna have to do some serious work for you to get my respect.

 

[JackLipke]

Wow, just wow.... This is amazing. Some people overlooked a simple thing and now we are accused of stealing work.
Here is our reply to this vast confusion.

Hello, this is Jack from the Rogue Threat team.
There was recently an issue regarding our Mod. We were on the main page and then deleted. I went to the Forum post about it and we had been accused of stealing work. I was in the process of explaining in a post this when all of a sudden all posts/news items were deleted. This is completely false accusation; people assumed that we 'stole' work because a talented fellow named Dauson donated some artwork to us and he has been seen around HL2 sites due to his work and participates in many Mods.
---

Please understand that we did not steal work! That C13 image was a Dauson artwork render and we are not working with C13, I did not even know that was their basic image, I will take it down asap. I really hope this gets sorted out.

 

[short recoil]

well as long as permission is given its ok, it seems mighty strange to use a render from another mods map though.

 

[JackLipke]

Thats what I was trying to explain, that was a promotional image from the art fellow, I did not know it was from C13 and thought it was an origional work from him. I will remove it, Im sorry for all the confusion.

I hope this is all cleared up, thanks for pointing this out before it go TO big by the way. I have removed the image from the site. And I extend my appoligies to C13.

I am also updating the Rogue Threat site in the News section explaing this.

edit: yeah, I didn't know that render was from C13, I was under the impression it was an origional work from Dauson.

Thanks

edit again: Okay, killed the link, this whole problem should be over now. I emailed the admin regarding the news post too.

 

[Dekstar]

Well I still think this mod will kick ass! Good luck with it! One thing though, those dual machine gun things, they look a bit off skew in some places along the barrel... really hurts my eyes.

 

[JackLipke]

Oh yeah, its all WIP so we'll make sure to change it

Feel free to use that wallpaper, have fun!

 

[Dekstar]

Tell me, what else can you use dual? And where did you get your coder from? Our mod (Head-Humped) needs one to get started.

 

[JackLipke]

The SMGs and a special Combine tool with a H&K USP Match.
We actually don't have a programmer right now . Thats photoshoped, thats why it says concept. It if was in-game it would say alpha or beta. We are looking for a programmer too

Haha, well if you find one, ask them if they have a brother/sister that can code .

It seems coders are in short supply recently.

 

[AgentXen]

So what exactly is the story for this game?
Im intrested in a little more information.

 

[JrdnGrn]

everyone head over to www.roguethreat.com and check out what were all about, we've still got plenty of jobs open.

 

[Yuri]

I must say, I am very impressed by your professionalism and your idea. I have an offer for you if you'd like to talk about it. An email address, AIM screen name, or MSN would be appreciated, if you'd like to OM me. Otherwise, I'll just post in your forums.

If you could just check out www.hl-episodes.third-core.org.

 

[JackLipke]

Email me at [email protected] with this 'offer'.

Again, we are still looking for programmers, mappers, animators and modelers.
