About The Mod
In 1914, the world was tossed into turmoil when Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated by a Serbian radical, bringing Europe, and the world, into a 4 year, 8.5 Million Lives Lost struggle, which we call The First World War. In every war, there are a few battles which stand above the rest, for whatever reason. In WW1, The nearly 6 month Battle of the Somme stands out as the biggest mistake of The Commonwealth.
The Somme Valley is a modification for Half-Life Two, based on the Battle of the Somme. The Somme Valley aims to be a balance between realism, and playability, giving the player a taste of what war was like, but keeping the experience fun and enjoyable. The mod isn't just meant for a good time, but as a history lesson, and a lesson into the flaws of human nature.
420,000 British, 200,000 French, and 500,000 Germans lay dead or wounded by the end of the conflict, making it one of the worst battles, and most drawn out battles of the war. Weather those casualties were caused by bullets, gas, disease, or artillery shrapnel, The Battle of the Somme will be forever remembered in the minds of those who fought there, and those of us who weren't.
