Would anyone be intrested in . .

A half-life 2 RTS mod ?
just wondering out of interest.
Like based on C&C, combine have the citadel as a construction yard and the resistance have a black mesa east esque thing

 

[Apocalypse89]

Isn't Angry Lawyer doing something like that?

It's called Conquest: City 17, IIRC.

 

[ríomhaire]

Yeah. He'll be getting back to work on it when Zombie Master is done supposely.

 

[Apocalypse89]

Oh yeah, and Empires is going to have a few RTS-like aspects.

 

[Sulkdodds]

And Iron Grip. And Zombie Master.

 

[ríomhaire]

Zombie Master is only RTS if you are the zombie master. And I think AL said something about Conflict becoming not just a pure RTS because it doesn't work very well in Source, we'll see I suppose.

 

[Sulkdodds]

Well, yeah but RTS elements hey? To be fair I don't believe there are yet any mods planned that are completely RTS - Conquest, AFAIK, is more of a squad-based close-knit X-Com dynamic with very detailed character abilities and intricate low-level tactics.

 

[Ennui]

Right, I didn't know if I was allowed to say anything about it but Conquest: City 17 has gone from being a high-level RTS a la Dawn of War or Starcraft and closer to a real-time squad game, like Fallout or X-Com but not turnbased.

Still, that's because Source doesn't do RTS that well and it's a bit silly to do that, when there are far better engines for such a thing.

And I'm going to guess here and say that even if you did start it, it'd not take long to go the way of City 13... :|
