HL2 Mod Ideas -- Brain Storm

[Acert93]

Most of us are either playing HL2 or finished. What a great time to talk about mods! Below are some mod ideas I hope to see

SP Mods
==========
1. A "Super Hard" Mod
a. Combine more accurate
b. Combine's weapons more powerful
c. Give the Combine some of the cooller weapons

2. Exagerated Physics Mod
a. One thing I do not like about CS:S is every bullet passes through people. I want people to go flying when I hit them!! Add some UMF to the guns! This works for explosives, so maybe a small "explosive" would have to be put on the bullets (same damage, but push effect). If HL2 has animation blending like Havok2 (i.e. action movement + hit reaction blended together) this would look great!

3. HL2 user created expansion

4. Combine vs. Freeman Mod
a. Take some of the kewl weapons in the game (stationary guns, crane, etc...) and make a virtual play field for Gordon to have fun killing hundreds of Combine

MP Mod
==========
1. HL2 MP using HL2 game assets (tons of stuff ready to be used!)
a. Team Deathmatch (duh)
b. King of the hill
c. Capture the flag
d. CONQUEST. Hold flags... the buildings in HL2 with flags at the top story would be neat. Players would have to get up the building stairs to the roof to cap... this could be so kewl!

2. A Desert Combat Conquest type mod

3. Minigames mod
a. Using Source and HL2 assets, make bowling, racing, crane pickup, etc... games like Mario Party


Anyhow, now that you have played HL2 feel free to mention any mod ideas you would love to see made!

Any mod involving zombies could be incredible with this...

The refugees of City 17 vs. The Combine would be an awesome theme also All the assets are there to be used also!

Thinking about it, this type of HL MP would have been flat out awesome... I think it would have been the extra nudge that some people (not me) were looking for.

Another idea is a FPS-superhero mod. Take the Doom Space Marine, MasterChief, Gordon, and others. Allow players to choose which ones they want, and then give each special abilities. Gordon gets the Havok suit (which would protect well) and Manipulator. MC can dual wield or, if only one gun, throw a grenade or melee as a secondary option--but would also have the shield system w/ very vulnerable body. The space marine could get, well, hmmm... double barrelled shotgun? Ok, maybe some sweet powerups.

I hope someone makes a mod where when you are hit you trickle a small blood trail if you have a good flesh wound. This would make it important to get health + make hiding hard if hurt.
