Seven Hour War

[lilgamefreek]

Yes another one.

Hi there. I?m posting on behalf of the Seven Hour War team. Now we know there are a LOT of Seven Hour War mods out there, but we hope we can stand out amongst them. Our story premise is this. During the Seven Hour War, G-man drops Adrian Shephard off into the middle of it for unknown purposes. We realize that this mod has combined possibly two of the biggest clich?s ever in Half-Life 2 modding, but we believe we have the skill to make these clich?s not only workable, but also enjoyable


Seven Hour War will feature:
- The Seven Hour War from start-to-end-to-aftermath
- New NPC's, including the classic fauna of Xen and synths that Gordon only got to glimpse (and some he didn't) in the original Half-Life 2 story
- An entirely new location.
- New weapons (and new models for thematically old ones!)
- And much more.

Now we know there are a LOT of Seven Hour War mods out there, but we hope we can stand out amongst them.

the only thing you need to do to stand out amongst them is to release, really.. as far as I know the many SHW mods are pretty much all unreleased and/or dead..

but yeah, good luck!

 

[McGooTheWise]

This sounds like a fun mod.

Good luck with us and keep us posted.

If youre gonna have xenian, its gonna be a 3 parteh war zomg!

 

[soulslicer]

wow man..thats alot of work you have you know. good luck. do you have a proper website or vids and imgs?

 

[Narvi]

Mmm, I would more say that there are a lot of IDEAS for Seven Hour War mods. No releases so far though.

 

[lilgamefreek]

Yeah. We've been getting quite a bit of work done, but most of it is concept work, though we have a mapper working on the very first map for media release (he actually worked on missing info before).

 

[Adabiviak]

Let us know how it goes and when it is released. What kind of enemies will you have in the game? Shephard's a good choice at the very least because it will bake some noodles here. If you include some Race-X enemies, that'll be even better (but you didn't hear that from me).

if its a 7 hour mod, it must have many npcs fighting at the same time, and you have portal storms constantly opening up, releasing gunships. also, you must create some large mothership of some sort, similar to the one near the UN building

 

[lilgamefreek]

I don't believe the combine had any sort of mother ship...

... The combine don't have a mother ship... They used the citadels and the portals... Where have you been?

 

[soulslicer]

what about the one near the UN building.

 

[Narvi]

A flying carrier would be awesome, though. Like the walker-releasing giant dropships from Raising the Bar.

 

[lilgamefreek]

I still don't see a mother ship. A see a strider and a gunship and a bunch of smoke, but no mother ship.

 

[Narvi]

The gunship is considerably larger than normal gunships.

 

[lilgamefreek]

I really think they went all poopy with the scale there. Aren't striders only, like, three stories tall?

 

[Narvi]

The detail is not present, so it could very well be a larger version.

Sounds like you've got a lot of ambitious ideas there!
Will it be real-time?

The gunship is considerably larger than normal gunships.

Yet considerably smaller than one would expect a mothership to be. Besides which, as people have stated, the Combine invaded Earth using teleportation from another dimension and as such had no need for a mothership of any kind.
That is all.

A flying carrier would be useful. And awesome.

Though it's a moot point, because I'm not the one arguing for a Combine mothership based on blurry newspapers.
