THE STORY

IN HALF LIFE, THE BLACK MESA RESEARCH FACILITY MAKES A BREAKTHROUGH WITH THE XEN, UNKNOWINGLY STARTING THE DOWNFALL AND BIGGEST WAR OF MANKIND TWENTY YEARS LATER. BUT THAT?S HALF-LIFE: 2, WE?RE HALF-LIFE: WARZONE!!!!!!!!!

IT IS A CONFUSING AND DEADLY TIME FOR MANKIND DUE TO THE FACT THAT NOW A NEW ALIEN RACE IS INVOLVED, THE COMBINE. THEY COME FROM A HOME UNIVERSE AND WISH TO TAKE OVER EARTH. ALSO, THE XEN ARE STILL AT WAR WITH EARTH AS THE NUMBER OF PORTALS INCREASE TO SEND THEM OVER.


THE MOD

HALF-LIFE: WARZONE IS AN RTS MODIFICATION OF THE SOURCE ENGINE.

SET IN THE HALF-LIFE UNIVERSE BETWEEN THE EVENTS AT BLACK MESA AND CITY 17, HALF-LIFE: WARZONE WILL ALLOW PLAYERS TO CONTROL ONE OF THREE FACTIONS IN THE HALF LIFE UNIVERSE: THE SYNTH COMBINE, THE XEN, OR THE HUMAN RESISTANCE, WHICH HAVE DIFFERENT STRENGTHS, WEAKNESSES, AND ABILITIES.

THE PLAYER WILL HAVE A DROP DOWN VIEW OF THE WARZONE AS THEY BATTLE OTHER PLAYERS AND AI OPPONENTS FOR BATTLEFIELD CONTROL AND RESOURCES. HALF-LIFE: WARZONE WILL ALSO FEATURE MANY BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES WHICH WILL ADD MORE FUNCTIONALITY TO YOUR ARMY. SOME WILL ALLOW YOU TO CREATE STRONGER UNITS AND WEAPONS WHICH YOU CAN USE TO CRUSH THE ENEMY, AND OTHERS WILL GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO SET UP TRAPS AND STRATEGIZE UNITS.

WITH WARZONE WE ARE AIMING FOR A TOTAL IMPRESSIVE, WELL-BALANCED, AND OF COURSE, INCREDIBLY FUN GAMING EXPERIENCE. OUR FOCUS IS TO GIVE THE PLAYER A GOOD UNDERSTANDING OF THE HALF-LIFE UNIVERSE AND BRING YOU TO THE WAR ZONE YOU?VE ONLY SEEN FROM A DISTANCE. THE ONLY QUESTION WE HAVE FOR YOU IS? ARE YOU READY FOR HALF-LIFE: WARZONE?!?!?!

-YourHell, HL: Warzone modmember and concept artist.
 
So, not only do you need everyone to do everything for you, you also typed your thread in caps.

Fail
 
first and for all, i did not type that text myself, k?
and second, i don't need everyone to do everything for me

i am only saying that if there are people interested in helping our community a little, that i would appriciate it.

you see, understanding texts isn't that hard :)
 
No, not ok. Its still the online equivilent of shouting. Its rude.

Second, you say you need:
-Mappers
-3d Artists
-2d Artists
-programmers

Funnily enough, everyone who works on a mod can usually be described by one of the following:
-Mappers
-3d Artists
-2d Artists
-programmers

Weird eh? And given that you don't say what your role is, its reasonable to assume that you don't have one.
 
ok you got your point, the request should be a bit more specific:)
but as i told before, i didn't write it :D

and as you can see in the bottem line of the text, my role is concept artist.
 
caps, underlining, lack of spelling/grammar, lack of PR skills, passing blame.

Excellent.


Oh, the idea is okay, because RTS games are rather neat, but it's too ambitious to happen.
 
Give the kid a break, Yorick.
 
Your storyline sucks too. The 'war' with Xen is no more. No more stupid shithead baby floating on a ****ing rock that enslaves Vortigaunts. Headcrabs aren't a part of the 'Xen military'. They're just predatory creatures which, unfortunately, got teleported onto Earth and is now actively converting Earth's population to rambling, half-dead creatures... much like rambler.

Stupid shithead baby, yeah, talking like that sure helps you get your points across.

Howdy y'all, I'm thief, one of WarZone's leaders.

I would be the last to say YourHell's post was the most informative and effective way to put across his point, but he is trying, lay off him. Alot of the issues y'all have brought up in response to his post (albeit in a hostile and frankly moronic manner) have been adressed. At some point I'll get round to re-writing (without the caps, of course) YourHell's post. Until then, if there are any specific questions to be answered, please direct them at me.

I once gave this mod team advice, many moons ago.

I love the idea, but it lacks the people to make it happen.

Hey Angry! Great to see you, come back and talk to us again, we miss you. =D
 
caps, underlining, lack of spelling/grammar, lack of PR skills, passing blame.

Excellent.

Well said I think. I think your really using the wrong engine if you want to make an rts game. Also if you cant spell, use a spell checker.

Nah, I think Source could make a pretty kickass RTS game. Everything I've seen of Alien Swarm, Zombie Master, and a few others has me convinced that top-down with HL2 is kick ass.

Like Angry said though, it may not have the right people for it.
 
As I understand Zombie Master is a cross between first person and RTS top down views. That would make this more suitable for Source but creating an RTS mod on a fps engine will just give you more work than you need. I think you should look into torque. It is alot more suitable and the engine structure, in my opinion, is so much better.
 
I cant take you seriously untill you rewrite that without caps.

Thank you
 
Source can quite easily handle small scale RTS games. Hell, ask Samon, he was the first guy to test (the now defunct while I reimagine it) Conquest: City 17.

Do you think you'll get additional downloads if you call your mod Black MESA? :P
