When I was playing HL2 single player and came to the seabed level with those dirt digging flying bugs, I had an idea pop into my head that it would be very fun and probably easy to make a DUCK HUNT type of mod in HL2 Source! I ran around that level while those sand bugs respawned and flew after me, and had so much fun shooting them down from the air with the shotgun.
This mod would be very simple but can be made as complex as one wanted. The DUCK HUNT mod would consist of basically hunting various water fowl and birds (ducks, geese, quail, etc.) from a stationary location (called a blind). For those of you not familiar with duck hunting, you can set up a small area that is covered by shrubbery and bushes (with some decoys possibly) in a bird-populated area and shoot them as they come in. Now thats how the real hunting goes. The mod could have different locations and birds to hunt, weapons to hunt with (different types ammo and shotguns with attachments mostly), and probably misc. items to upgrade and improve the hunt. This DUCK HUNT mod would be fun for all ages! How many of you played the DUCK HUNT Nintendo game that came with a plastic gun to aim and shoot at the ducks on the screen, when you were a little kid?! Its a classic! I truely believe this mod would be some serious fun because it would be a challenge to see what type of shotgun/ammo/decoy/etc. configuration would prove to bring in the most ducks/geese/quail/etc. in different hunting locations around the U.S. (or world depending).
Also this DUCK HUNT mod could be accompanied with a type of firing range game where you can try your skill at firing all the weapons and attachments at various targets like clay pigeons (small clay frisbees that fly in the air). A rifle and pistol range could also be added with some Source modifications to simulate real-world physics so that it can provide a challenge to hit that bullseye at various distances.
If I had the skill, time, and talented team to start making this mod I would. Presently the only HL2 mod team I personally know (Resistance and Liberation www.resistanceandliberation.com), is of course working hard and diligent on the mod to give the HL2 community a splendid online experience and has no time to work on this. So if you are interested in the above DUCK HUNT mod idea I briefly outlined and think you have what it takes to create it, then please contact me. I would be very interested to work with a team on ideas and see this DUCK HUNT mod come to life.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
