HL2 Alien Mod looking for ppl
polycounter lvl 18
We are a skilled bunch working on a HL2 mod based on "Marines vs. Aliens" gameplay, we are currently looking for modelers/animators/texturers. For more information visit our forum @ redlink-studios.com/hl2mod
:: The Mod ::
The main goal is to be able to create a mod where you can feel the adrenaline flow when a horde of aliens closing in. To do this we are going to try to push the boundaries of the source engine as much as humanly possible.
:: Gameplay ::
The basic gameplay is going to be based upon the old "Team Deathmath" mode, Team vs. Team (Marines vs. Aliens). We are probably going to add some kind of twist to the gameplay that will keep the two teams in balance. Marines will have an advantage on more open environments while Aliens will be better of in dark closed areas such as caves etc.
We are also working on several new gameplay ideas including one where you only can play as marines defending a fort/building/structure against aliens (Like in Starship Troopers 2).
:: Weapons & Classes ::
The marines are going to use the basic marine weapons like machineguns, handguns, shotguns etc, also some kind of vehicles may be found on some maps. Aliens main weapon is going to be melee, but a few support weapons will be found. The aliens durability and speed will be the aliens main advantage. As I mentioned before a few vehicles will be found in game, but most maps will probably be played in a darker cave environment where vehicel use will be very limited.
:: Mapping ::
We will also try to give the mappers a lot of freedom, we are going to add a very easy to use script language so that it will be easy for the mappers to add there own objects to the game. More information on this will be released soon...

Better ask fox about that one. I know several poeple that wanted to do a Aliens VS Predator mod using doom 3 and or hl2 and immediately got their predator type lawyers and legal dept after them. Just saying should ask 1st also Ever hear of The DBZ Bid for Power Mod for Quake 3? That was a big dump in the toilet of mods. Funimation got thier lawdogs after the team and they were at from what I understood at thier old forums for a # of months before the team just gave up and released it as a plain generic type Q3 Arena mod. I could bve wrong though.

Our mode is not based directly upon any movies, the only thing that is simular right now is that our mod is based upon a war between Humans and non-humans ;D
