Operation Magistral Looking for talented modders!

[Alpha]

Hi everyone, I am the lead director of an upcoming mod project for HL2, named 'Operation Magistral', It is based on one of the "main highway" operations, conducted by the Soviets during the Soviet-Afghan war. Those who are not familiar with the conflict in question, it lasted around 10-years (1979-1989) and was fought between the Soviet Army and the Mujahideen "Holy Warriors".

In the Autumn of 1987, the Mujahideen had established a series of blocking positions that severely limited the supply of weapons, ammunition, and food to Soviet forces in the Khost district. In response, the Soviets planned and conducted Operation Magistral, "main highway," to open up the supply lines.

We're fairly new, so I really got nothing visual to show you and the site should be up by end of this month.


Currently we are open to any help:

Artists, Designers, Engineers even a public relations guy will come in handy.

So if you're intersted, you know what to do pm me or post a reply and i'll contact you.

Hmm, well I like the visuals you have now. But I don't know jackshit what your mod is going to be about other than a Soviet supply line. Enlighten us.

If you played "Vietcong" this is pretty much the same idea, just a different theater + more goodies, and a higher level of realism.

So far the mod is planned to have 3-gameplay modes, Ambush, Relief, and Last Stand. The mod is MP only, played between soviet airborne troops and Mujahideen, either a team vs. team match or players vs. AI.


VDV = Soviet Airborne

Ambush: Objective for the vdv is to provide cover for the convoy and prevent the rebels from destroying it. VDV are to be spawned on on of the points above the road.

Objective for the Mujahideen, detect the route of the convoy and ambush it destroy every truck and APC. Not to get sighted by a patroling vdv company which are set to defend the convoy.

Relief: 2-3 Spetsnaz personal are spawned right in the middle of an enemy territory. They must make thier way to an evacuating heli on the other side of the village, suppresed by a vdv platoon, which was brought in a heli. Objective of the mission is to get the hostage evacuated. If spetsnaz squad is eliminated before reaching to the heli, vdv must get ahold of the hostage and deliver him themselfs. Mujahideen's mission is to rescue thier ldr by getting ahold of him and deleving him into a save place, designated on a map.

Last Stand: VDV objective to defend the camp by all costs.
Mujahideen objective to capture all 4 sections of the camp by destroying : Radio stationary, Mortar stationary, HMG stationary, Command HQ. And finally bringing down the soviet flag which is right in the middle of the camp.

I'm Russian so please don't judge my english. :burp:
