New Mod, needs members

[maddios]

Hi.

I just came across a board that seemed the most populated with
Half-Life 2 gamers and modders.

I have recently started a mod called "A Different Destiny" about a rebel who gets captured and sent to City 17, Nova Prospekt to be turned into a soldier. This game will also have a view of the City 17 rebellion through a Combine soldier's point of view.

Basically I'm just asking if anyone here would like to team up, make a small mod group and help me make this mod. I already have the Title screen and the a few parts of different levels set up.

For this mod, we will need:

Mappers(Duh)
Skinners(for characters)
Voice-Actors(Some sexy voices needed)
And if needed: Programmers

If you would like to join me, just post below.
I am currently getting a forum website ready for this mod.

So, if you would like to join or have any questions, please post below. Together we'll make this a good long mod that's enjoyable and would be worthy of replayability.

Thank You.

I've always liked the idea, but there are a variety of problems with it, involving continuity. Being a combine wouldn't give you a whole lot of attackers, the levels wouldn't be really anything new, like Nova Prospekt, and you have to make up lots of things, like the hud, that will just piss a lot of people off.

I don't see how a different hud would piss people off. There's a different hud from HL1 to Blue Shift to Opposing force to HL2. Changing the Hud is also easy.

But think of it this way. You're fighting along striders and other soldiers. Being able to launch a headcrab canister, driving an APC, and fighting the rebels. All of this would require skilled mappers and scripters.

But first what I need is a team who actually want to do this..

No, I agree. That's definitely appealing.

What I meant by 'different hud' was that you have to make inferences about the way that Civil Protection 'sees'. The hud, the storyline, people will find something to complain about.

People found a lot of things to complain about in HL2, but it was a good game.

So noone here wants to join?

so all you have to do is spam humans with guns, with your massive striders, head crab bombs, and a mass of other massively destructive force.

what makes this mod fun to play, and a challenge to give it tha replayability factor that you desire, cos atm, i see it just as a game where you do 3 things...

1: Point
2: Shoot
3: Win

generally all at distance with weapons that easily outmatch your enemy, with only 1 known human enemy that stands a chance of defeating you. without freeman, the rebels generally get a beating, otherwise they wouldn't be living as they r now. Being the combine could be interesting and setup some new features for gameplay, but i don't see any decent gameplay coming from this unless you like spamming people with your ammo
