an awsome mod that i have thought up would be somewhat of an unofficial half-life 2 expansion pack. It will be in the perspective of father gregori and tell about key points in the half-life timeline like how the combine came to power and what happened to ravensholm. It will be a prequal to half-life 2 and reveal the secret of the combine soldiers, that they are lombatamized human mind slaves. You will get to fight the syths and the combine slugs themselves.​
The story starts out with a few small cutscenes that sum up the years after black messa to the combin empire. It will have a narrator telling about the uniting of earths nations into a single fighting force, and it will lead to their failure. After the combine take over the world the dont start making concentration cities right away, instead they try to just occupy. When small riots start in various parts of the world the combine start to get more fierce. This is where dr. breen comes in to try to stop the riot s and calm the people, because every riot makes the combine more angry. Eventually the combine unleash a full scale containment of the human race, so that they may experiment and use them as mind slaves to do their dirty work.​
It will start with a cutscene of father gregori giving a church ceremony with most of the people of ravensholm there (how he refers to the people of ravensholm in half-life 2 makes it seem that the town was very religious). because the combine are getting very violent and unjust, father gregori get his followers to start a rebellion with him against the combine, this is what triggers a full scale attack on ravansholm by the combine. Father gregori starts a guerrilla war against the combine using the traps. Seeing that occupation of the town is futile, the combine decide to exterminate the entire town and decide to use the xeniphobes to infest the city. All the while the image of gordon freeman keeps the fighter going, gordon almost becomes like a messiah as the resistance looks for some kind of hero in all the chaos.​
The mod will show the different parts of the half-life world as the combine take over, and eventually leads to father gregori's insanity as he watches his people suffer and transform into zombies, he comes to believe that this can not just be a war but instead it is the apocalypse and the combine are fallen angels unleashing hellspawn demons(the zombies) upon the world. He starts to see gordon freeman's arrival as the second coming of christ. When he meets gordon in half-life two he acts as though he doesnt know him, when he is really testing him, which is why it seems he is always watching over u in ravensholm but never helps you out. He decides to direct gordon on the path that he must go with as little interference as possible.​
This is my idea, please give me some feedback, and if anyone is interested in helping me make what i can of this mod please respond.​
 
The mod sounded good until the part about going insane and second coming of Christ bit.

IMO it takes away too much mystery from the character.
 
I don't much care for the Christ imagery. Seems a little heavy handed to me. Also, I don't like the idea that Father Gregori is bat-shit insane. I prefer to think of him as a man who does what works. The stress from living in constant danger (even though its his choice) will no doubt have an affect, but I like to think that he only acts crazy because it helps him stay alive.
 
thanx

yeah thanx for your feedback guys, i like criticism if it is put politely. I guess the whole insanity and christ thing is too much i just think it would be a powerful storyline. It seems not too many people like the insanity and second coming of christ thing so i guess i will just leave that out. I can make it that the people in city 17 stop associating with him because he draws too much attention. The city 17 rebels cant be stealthy and precise with someone like father gregori around.
 
i reckon it sounds really good, but then thats just me. if it was made i probably wouldnt play it though cos im scared of the zombies :<
 
The christ thing has to be removed. Thats going to far. And I've said this before, but people need to stop making unofficial expansion packs... let valve do it goddamnit or else people will get confused w/ fiction or fact.
 
It could just be a horror game somewhat like doom3...
 
i myself would like to see a half-life 1 remake using the source engine, HL2 characters etc... then maybe a blueshift 1 remake or blueshift 2...

Half-Life: Source.

HL:S only uses the source engine.. he also wants HL2 characters... ect I am assuming by ect he means higher res textures as well.

There is a community conversion called "Black Mesa Source" that will do this very thing.
 
The Christ idea is good, you just need to change the wording to savior so people dont get all bent for no good reason. Freeman is this worlds savior, after all..

But I wouldnt mess with the HL2 storyline,. so I would not have Father Grigori know about Gordon until Gordon goes to Ravenholm. Dont reinterpret VALVe's work.
 
I like it!

Maybe the Christ reference and stuff may be a bit much but I like the concept of it all.

Could be very cool if done right.
