Well, given the recent trend for mods to promote themselves on the General Discussion forum (which personally I think is a good idea... keeping the General Editing forum for ideas and queries
[before Cerberus complains ] )
Well, I'm Badger (duh!) and I am going to talk about my team's mod: Operation Everlasting Shadow. Like JLOT (guinny's mod) we are actually quite far ahead in development... the only thing that is not firing on all cylinders is the multiplayer mode (mainly due to the fact that the netcode will be very important.. and we don't have a coder for that side of the team).
Let me explain.... Operation Everlasting Shadow is really two mods in one... which will be available for download separately.... the reason being that they will appeal to different people.
The Multiplayer Mode (Battleground: Black Mesa)
Set actually during the Black Mesa disaster this is teamplay deathmatch with a difference: The server is split into many (about 5) different maps... with 3 (maximum) teams battling it out in TF size (NOT style or content) maps for objectives... however the result in each map affects the other maps... for example the Marines are defending an Control Center against Xen and Race X aliens (immediatly this gives rise to the opportunity to backstap and ally)..... every 5 minutes that the control center resides under Marine control... they can call down airstrikes on the other maps maps.... the overall winner will be determined on the main map
Teams:
Xen aliens
Marines
Black Mesa employees
Race X
Black Ops
(those are all the details I have the moment... I should be able to give more information after another conference with the B:BM team leader)
The Singleplayer Mode (Operation Everlasting Shadow)
Operation Everlasting Shadow sees you as Agent 151... A Black Op of Opposing Force fame. Expect some rather interesting features including Kung Fu... special abilities and skill lists.... Stealth is a viable option...never forced on you, multiple routes through levels.... well here is a sample of the plot:
