Having had the privillage of playing Zombie Master, and I can say it is shaping up very nicely and it's a unique style of game as far as I'm concerned. I don't think I've played RTS vs. FPS people before, especially not concerning Zombies, and it really rocks my world.
Since it's FPS vs. RTS, you don't have to have a particularly good sense of aim as much as a head for strategy. Obviously you do have to have some sense of aim, but not as much as a head to head FPS, the focus is on the developing strategies and trying to outwit the semi-omnipotent Zombie Master as he spawns Zombies and hurls them at you (or ambushes you).
It's a totally awesome.
Also, Docks of the Dead rocks.

Tis a worthy mod i tell ya! Progress is being made every day or few days literally, always new things around the corner. Still much to do, but progress is being made. Gonna be weird making it public when the day comes!

These aren't from actual maps (I'm not telling you about those!), but these are things that COULD happen:
You have to fix a helicopter by finding the parts that are missing;
You have to open the doors to an egyptian tomb, then get inside and kill the head mummy;
You have to... hell, I dunno, it's up to the mapper! Use your imagination

resource system is time based, the ZM gets more resources as time goes by and gets bonuses for actions like killing players.ríomhaire said:
objectives can be anything - escape from an underground bunker, get the parts to fix the car and drive away, etc.

Win conditions for the humans is mapper defined, using Hammer's I/O system, and an entity that, when fired, causes them to win. So you could trigger it through a timer (for survival), or from when an item reaches an area (for "Retrieve the relic"), or when a prop is destroyed (for "bust the evil statue"). Its really down to mapper creativity.
Resources are gained every 5 seconds, based on the number of players in the server. In addition, killing players gives the ZM a bonus.

It's good stuff
It'll be worth waiting, we promise. We're on a level of coding far beyond that of a mod such as Hidden: Source, but we're not going to release buggy unstable alphas like they have (not to hate on them, I've spent many hours quaking in fear every time I see the air ripple).
Give us time to keep adding new stuff, stabilize the coding, and add loads of new content, and it'll be totally worth it

So if this is developed by hl2.net, whats the future of source world? is the time spent there all wasted?

This is not developed by Halflife2.net. All of the team members are also regulars at Halflife2.net, but we're more of a Hetairia project.ktimekiller said:
Sourceworld still exists, but not on Source, not with the name Sourceworld, and it's a far cry from what you know it as. Talk to TDE about it.
I'm working on quite a fun one... should be the first big map I've ever actually gotten up to release qualitySixThree said:
aside from a few supern00b UT maps that I don't have anymore.
