Warzone (working title) is a project based around the game Killzone for the PS2. The one thing that demolished that games chance at success was the technology. Everything else was spot on. Warzone could be considered a direct-port, in some respectful manner. As a designer I know that I can't completely copy the games name, art and so on, however, we can base things around those components and create something original. That way I won't get FOXED for doing something out of sheer love for a game I enjoy.

The game will be played online with a possible single player "episode" that will be released as a techdemo. Killzone captured the intensity of a fire fight and I plan on pushing it further using Source technology and its endless possibilities. Currently Warzone is a new comer and will need to up the ante if it is to fit in Half-Life 2's flourishing mod community. That said, I'm looking for a 2d/3d artist to help me flesh out some of the concepts I have in mind. It would help if you've played the game. Leave a message here or PM me. I will be responsible for writing, directing and level design. And some prop-modelling when it is needed.

Don't bet on it. You'll have to distance yourself from the game quite a bit to even have a remote chance of having some lawyers come along and beat you down.

Still, Killzone was an interesting game. Have fun trying, at least, and lets pray you don't get foxed.

I know it's a pain in the ass. I just read that a Duke3D mod aimed at recreating the original game was foxed. The publishers are to blame. I'm sure every member on the 3DR team would have loved playing their game on Source. Greedy sum bitches I suppose. And the project will be altered to somewhat resemble Killzone. Key elements such as original player speeds and reload speeds will be present. I'd like to have my own creative spark in the mix to appeal to online gamers.
 
Hello, it has been awhile, but all it is not lost. I'm seeking a host who can take on my page. The Warzone main page is almost up, a screenshot is provided as proof. If any hosts would like to help, please respond here.
