No, a game is fantasy, we know its fantasy because the people who made it intended it to be that way. Just because its "set" in reality doesnt make it "possibly real" or grounds for any such statements.
Half-Life is designed to be fun, do you think everyone who bought half-life and liked it belived in aliens? Maybe some of the people who didnt like it were like "OMG Aliens! This is bullshit!" and threw the game away? -no.

What a load, if there were such things they would be well documented and everyone would know it was real because it would of been proven.
Ghosts? - Biggest and oldest load ever.
Aliens? - We know life exists on other planets, but traveling to our planet? GTFO!
Deamons/demons? - Utter bullshit.
100% of all reported Ghosts, Aliens or Paranormal activities are 1 of three things.
1: Hoax.
2: Somones imagination playing tricks on them / misreading the situation.
3: Somone making up bullshit for whatever reason.

Its mildy humourus, nothing amazing.
Though the animation is good and it does 'inform' all the little kiddies about how corrupt american politics are.

I'll give it a try, just to humour myself. How do you do it?
Havnt you heard? There shipping spiders accross in grapes now. 
I have seen this around... as I recall the eventual theory was that it was either A: true or B: makeup - Doesnt look photoshopped.
If it is true the guys a damn fool for letting it get that far.

My one only true fears:
1: Being in a large open body of water (the sea) in quite deep.
2: Sharks (kinda the reason number 1 exists).
I am fine swimming in the sea most of the time, but sharks scare the hell out of me, Jaws is one of my favorite films because I find it very scary.
I have been swimming off my dads Rib boat one time just off the coast, it was about 20 meters deep and the water was crystal clear. I was just under the water with diving googles on looking around at the bottom, then I look over and see a basking shark about 50 meters away, fuck me you have never seen a person climb back onto a boat so fast in your life. I was litterally reaching for the speargun (which had a range of about 5 foot because its attached to a cord).

One tip: Make those "plasma" sprites half the size they are now.
This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.
Nice idea for the light... the brushes and sprite itself could be cleaned up a little but its a good idea none the less.
The coridoor looks good, nice brush work and (afaict) good scale, textures fit in well. Nice job.
Urban: If you want another mapper I am putting myself out at the moment, check my journal for examples of my work (and my mail) if you are interested in hiring.

Tycell: heard that one. Why is it Russian?I heard it was russian, does sound... odd for an English joke. I thought it was funny anyway
I know a popular russian joke (though I cant confirm this)... this is sort of the same thing.
A man is waiting in the hospital, his wife is in labour. An hour or so later the doctor comes out with a baby in his arms and says.
"Congratulations, you have a baby girl."
The man is really happy and asks to hold the baby. Before he can reach out his arms the doctor grabs the baby by one of its legs and starts smashing it against the wall like a club.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" Says the father.
"Its ok, baby was born dead."

Now now, each person can have their own opinion.
Remember, just because somone agrees with you doesnt mean you are right (or wrong). Lets try and stay on topic shall we?
Awesome mod by the look of it, I await map screen shots.

HL1: When fighting Nihalith, using the jump pads to get right up to the top of the map, concentrating so hard on killing him you dont notice you are falling back down towards the large spikes at the bottom of the level and insta gib when you hit the top of the spike. I had this image of myself being impailed all the way down to the bottom.
Alright, I was waiting for you to come online Urb but if you have little net time I will just email you the wads and the RMF with a shot note on how it works once the starter RMF's are made.
Ok, well that is my Email aswell.
I will mail you the starter pack (includes 2 wads and an RMF) if this thing gets off the ground.

?Curtains Up?
Ryan came to a decision, one brief look around them men and then he piped out his orders.
?Alright men, I?m the next in command, get your shit together, reload and rearm, those things could be back at any minuet.?
He had only gotten half way through that sentence when the rest of the men sprung into life, the pilot had already stopped her self from crying and was warming up the APC to move on, the rest of the combat able troops were restocking their guns and ammo pouches. Ryan did the same; he dropped the Smart gun on the deck of the APC and slid it into the webbing under the nearest seat, standing back up straight outside the APC he swung his pulse rifle around to his hands and cocked it.
?Ryan!? The call came from the Hulos.
Ryan took a quick glance at the horizon and the huge structure of the forward pods that dominated it, then he spun round and stepped into the APC, pushing past two of the marines which were coming out, there guns and ammo stocks rejuvenated.
?What is it Hulos?? Ryan said hunching over the medic who was hard at work on the injured captain.
?Sir, these guys are messed up pretty bad, I?ve put them under with the meds we have but there going to need surgery right away if there going to have a chance of survival.?
Hulos knelt up, using a medical issue wipe to rub the blood off his hands. Hulos was a very cool character under pressure, he had seen worse than this, but the Xenomorph attack had gotten everyone shaken up, none of them had seen anything like that before.
?Can we move them? The forward Pods should have a medical center and a surgical area.?
Hulos wiped the sweat from his brow and took a deep breath. Ryan knew this meant he was thinking it through.
?Well? I wouldn?t advise it but I can?t see that we have many options; Carlson defiantly needs surgery to stop his legs bleeding. Otherwise he isn?t going to last more than about an hour, maybe two. Sam should be ok, but I don?t have a clue about the captain, his wounds are deep, I can?t even see what?s cut and what?s not in this light.?
Ryan wiped his mouth with his arm and looked over towards the cockpit; the pilot had already finished prepping the APC. Everyone was staring at him silently.
?Alright, we don?t have a choice. MARINES! WE ARE LEAVING!?

There was another presents who had watched the entire battle unfold, unfortunately words cannot pronounce his name accurately so for now we shall just call him Mr. X.
Mr. X was perched on top of the cavern cliff walls watching the situation unfold, he had his helmet zoomed in and was flicking from one vision mode to another, trying to see which ones these ?humans? came up on best. He came to the conclusion that infer red was the best for this situation, the Xenomorphs didn?t show up on it but it made the humans light up like they were on fire.
Mr. X watched as the marines pilled back into their armored vehicle and began driving towards the large suspended structures a short way from their position. ?The Forward Pods? they had called them. Mr. X stood up straight, one last glance at the area and then he turned around and headed back towards his ship.
His other two clan mates were waiting at the base of the boarding ramp to his ship. It was small, a three man scout craft, they had been told to assess the Xenomorph infestation in their old breeding plant to see if it was ready for another hunt, clearly it was ready for a large hunt but no one had anticipated these humans finding the site and setting up a base of their own on it.
This would have to be reported to the Clan Leader, these humans were clearly more intelligent and technologically advanced than the Xenomorphs. If they were to hunt them as well they would need to tread carefully to avoid detection. He walked into ship and over to the communications panel.
?
A: Stop writing the fan fiction now.
B: Continue to write and get the predators hunting and observing the pods ASAP.
C: Continue to write but keep the predators back from the fight watching for now.
D: Continue to write but have the predators hunting and observing the main base ASAP (place where the ships land).

From how many parts did you make that arch... looks real smooth, almost like a model.apx. 12 (count them).
My guess is that its deffinatly a ship or vessel.
Perhaps a boat? Submersible or otherwise.

B, nice work so far.
One critisism though, if there were that many of them, why didnt they assault the APC rather than just cramming into the one man hole cover.. seems a little unrealistic but good none the less.

Yes, it will latch onto most monsters and certain textures.
Wa-hey, more than 1 volenteer. Alright, as many can volenteer as they want but the map will be planned and started tommorrow so if you havnt signed up by then, you cant join. Good to have you in on it urb. Elon, if you get your Op4 setup working you can join too.
The idea is that I make a generic map transition area, each one will have a player strip and a small area for re equipping, so you guys can make both your maps and then its easy to connect them once they are all done. There is a time limit for this map but we can dicuss that when the time comes.
Speak to you both tommorrow

Yea, the titles a bit of a mouth full, I was trying to fit in "Puzzle map pack" but it didnt go.
I'm looking for somone else to help me by partnering up with me to help make my Op4 SP Puzzle Map pack. Puzzles can be anything you like, from Resident Evil style to "push the boxes in the pit." If you do enter you will be asked to make 1 map, I can connect them together (so long as you leave it open in one end. The puzzles should be quite hard and quite long.
So anyone interested?

Ryan spun around scouring the area with his eyes for the squad?s medic.
?MEDIIIIIC!?
The other marines were busy securing the area around the APC, Ryan turned to the other marine who was stood above the captain and the corpse of Garwhity.
?Stay here, I?ll get the medic.?
The marine nodded and resumed his guard position, his pulse rifle drawn and ready, Ryan was a little slower with the pulse rifle strapped to him but he began to run towards the other marines anyway. He spotted the medic?s helmet almost instantly, he was hunched over someone. Ryan ran over to him.
The medic was hunched over another marine, the marine had been cut deeply in the lower torso and the medic was trying to stabilize him, blood was pouring from his gut. Ryan quickly looked the marine?s wounds over; he would survive, with the right treatment. The medic was Corporal Hulos; he was busy wrapping the wounded marine with bandages.
?Hulos! Over here, the captain?s hurt bad!?
Ryan tugged on his arm; Hulos was probably in a state of mild shock. He secured the bandage and then scrambled to his feet with the help of Ryan. Before he turned away from the injured marine he had just treated he shouted to the others.
?Get him to the APC, STAT!?
Ryan and Hulos began to run towards the captain and the other marine. Ryan saw what happened next in slow motion. One of the Xenomorphs, with its legs blown off and half its torso missing had crawled up behind the marine standing guard next to the captain, he never saw it coming, the alien claws ripped through the back of his legs taking out chunks of flesh and muscle.
Ryan raised the pulse rifle and opened up, the alien was slow and close enough to aim manually, its head shattered into a splatter of blood and leathery skin as the smart gun unloaded what little ammo it had left into it. Luckily the direction of the shots meant that all of the acidic blood missed the other marine who now lay on his side screaming and reaching down for his legs.
Four of the other team members ran over with Ryan and Hulos, Hulos checked over the screaming marine first, his hands had already reached into his medical bag and drawn out a syringe of pain killers. He gave the marine a hit, it stopped him screaming and slowed the loss of blood, but it also meant he was now a lump of meat and couldn?t fight.
?Alright let?s get them to the APC.?
Hulos? orders were followed as if he were the captain himself, Ryan and two of the other marines on the site picked up the captain and the other injured marine and began ferrying them to the APC. The other two marines covered their flank jogging backwards; there shoulder lamp lights shakily covering the terrain behind them. They all got to the APC, Ryan stayed outside while Hulos and two of the other marines climbed into the APC with the casualties.
Ryan stood outside; he leaned his head inside the APC and called down for ammo. Two of the other marines were already inside collecting ammo for the rest. The remaining three marines were stood outside with Ryan; each one was scouring the horizon for any sign of more of the infernal creatures. The pilot pushed past Ryan and climbed back into the cockpit, presumably to radio in the situation, instead he just seemed to sit there, Ryan was about to say something when he saw her wiping her eye and decided to leave it.
Ryan quickly took a visual roll call. The captain was badly hurt and was out cold, their lieutenant had remained at the Landing Pad to finish putting their ship into cold sleep with their onboard Synthetic and the Drop Ship Pilot. The obvious Dawned or Ryan, he glanced down at his chevrons, the mark of a sergeant. He was in charge of the squad until the lieutenant got back or until the captain regained consciousness.
He made a brief analysis of the situation; The APC was literally sixty seconds drive from the ground base of the forward Pods. Three of his men were hurt, at least two of them very seriously. The men were not ready for combat yet, they needed at least another minuet or so to re arm, though they could do this inside the APC. He didn?t know what the squad?s orders were but he knew it evolved getting to the Forward Pods.
What should he do?
A: Talk to the medic first; see how the injured are doing and if we can afford to move them.
B: Get on the radio first and try to reach the lieutenant or the Forward pods and ask for assistance.
C: Organize the men first, get them re-armed and combat ready before doing anything else.
D: Get everyone into the APC and get it moving towards the forward pods, they can re arm inside once it was under way.
You decide. So how do you like it so far? Feedback is welcome.

Just a note, your discisions on the options of Ryan WILL change the outcome of the story, for example you all voted he grabbed the Smart gun which took time, too much time for Marine Garwhity. Think carefully before picking an answer.
Oh its playable. It looks good and the gameplay is well layed out its just the R_speeds are a little high because of my general lack of skill when it was made.
Thanks Habboi, but if you had a look through it in hammer you would see what I mean, the entire outside cliff area is one big Func_wall
I am tempted to remake a few MP maps, not for CS1.6 or CSS though. Perhaps we should all chip in and make a TWHL multiplayer mod, with weapons like the ban stick and flamer ;D

Chapter 1-2
?Curtains Up?
Ryan didn?t think, his training had taught him so, he jumped up and bolted over to the heavy weapons rack near the back of the APC, behind him he could hear his marine buddies jumping out of the APC, pulse Rifles blazing. The large cannon atop the APC didn?t help at this point, its duel 16mm chain guns were situated right above Ryan?s head and the noise was deafening. Having secured the smart gun to his chest and clumsily strapped a box of ammunition to his side he made for the APC doors, the driver was just jumping out of the door, her side arm pistol drawn.
A terror filled scream came from outside, his friends and comrades were in danger, he tried to walk faster but had to stop himself, in the claustrophobic space of the APC he would only succeed in falling over and wasting more time, he reached the door and jumped out flicking the Smart Gun?s eye piece into place in one smooth motion.
Looking into the eye piece with his one eye he could see it was tracking 14 non human targets, damn these things were fast, and they were coming right for them. Bringing his field of vision back to his open eye he begins to compile the situation. Two of his buddies were missing from the main group which had created a strong point around the APC, the captain was also missing, and everyone around the APC was picking targets and firing.
In the near distance he could make up a very large set of structures suspended above ground in this cavern which they were situated in. Following the sound of a scream he looked over to see the other two marines and the captain about 30 meters ahead of them, he rushed forward to aid their situation. Scanning his flanks with the smart guns eye piece to see if there were any more of these creatures around him, he approached the three marines but just out of time.
One of the creatures jumped forward landing on Garwhity, tearing him to pieces with its claws, it was the first time Ryan had got a good view of the creatures up close, and damn they looked vicious. Through his reactions the smart gun was already raised and he opened fire, the creatures let out a nasty wail as it got blown to pieces, splattering its blood everywhere, too late for Garwhity though, if only he had taken less time getting out of the APC.
Holding the trigger tightly and with his teeth gripped he came to a sliding halt in the mud just behind the now dead Garwhity, his teeth gripped together and his vision focused through the eye piece he opened up on as many of the monsters as possible, he counted at least 7 kills before they began to fall back, the battle had taken at least three minuets but to Ryan it only seemed like the time it took to read five lines of text. Like Japanese wind no sooner had they begun to fall back but they were gone. Ryan scoured the area through the eye piece; it had built in night vision.
The ammo count flashed in the corner of his vision and beeped at him, he didn?t bother looking at it, and his teeth were still firmly gripped. Satisfied that the area ahead was clear he pulled himself out of the firing stance and flipped the eye piece back. He looked down at what was left of Garwhity, it wasn?t pretty. The yellow like blood of the creature that was on top of him had burned right through his torso, it wouldn?t of mattered though, his throat was slashed open and a lot of flesh was hanging from the bones.
Looking over at the captain he could see he was still alive! He had burns all over his face and along one arm where the creature?s blood had been splattered on him and a few places where he was cut pretty deep but he was still breathing.
?MEDIC!?
Ryan cried out, what should he do?
A: Get the other marine next to him to help him drag the captain back towards the APC where the medical tools are.
B: Go after the aliens.
C: Go and find the squads medic and get him to come to the captain.
D: Secure the area first, and then worry about the casualties.
Chapter 1-2
?Curtains Up?
Ryan didn?t think, his training had taught him so, he jumped up and bolted over to the heavy weapons rack near the back of the APC, behind him he could hear his marine buddies jumping out of the APC, pulse Rifles blazing. The large cannon atop the APC didn?t help at this point, its duel 16mm chain guns were situated right above Ryan?s head and the noise was deafening. Having secured the smart gun to his chest and clumsily strapped a box of ammunition to his side he made for the APC doors, the driver was just jumping out of the door, her side arm pistol drawn.
A terror filled scream came from outside, his friends and comrades were in danger, he tried to walk faster but had to stop himself, in the claustrophobic space of the APC he would only succeed in falling over and wasting more time, he reached the door and jumped out flicking the Smart Gun?s eye piece into place in one smooth motion.
Looking into the eye piece with his one eye he could see it was tracking 14 non human targets, damn these things were fast, and they were coming right for them. Bringing his field of vision back to his open eye he begins to compile the situation. Two of his buddies were missing from the main group which had created a strong point around the APC, the captain was also missing, and everyone around the APC was picking targets and firing.
In the near distance he could make up a very large set of structures suspended above ground in this cavern which they were situated in. Following the sound of a scream he looked over to see the other two marines and the captain about 30 meters ahead of them, he rushed forward to aid their situation. Scanning his flanks with the smart guns eye piece to see if there were any more of these creatures around him, he approached the three marines but just out of time.
One of the creatures jumped forward landing on Garwhity, tearing him to pieces with its claws, it was the first time Ryan had got a good view of the creatures up close, and damn they looked vicious. Through his reactions the smart gun was already raised and he opened fire, the creatures let out a nasty wail as it got blown to pieces, splattering its blood everywhere, too late for Garwhity though, if only he had taken less time getting out of the APC.
Holding the trigger tightly and with his teeth gripped he came to a sliding halt in the mud just behind the now dead Garwhity, his teeth gripped together and his vision focused through the eye piece he opened up on as many of the monsters as possible, he counted at least 7 kills before they began to fall back, the battle had taken at least three minuets but to Ryan it only seemed like the time it took to read five lines of text. Like Japanese wind no sooner had they begun to fall back but they were gone. Ryan scoured the area through the eye piece; it had built in night vision.

?The Pod Five Incident.? By Tycell.
Urbanebula I am going to copy your idea, although I did have an idea very similar to this before when I started writing this your idea is actually easier to pull off than mine.
Here?s how it works. I post a section (2 sections is 1 chapter) and leave it in a cliffhanger ending with 3 or more choices (A, B, C or D etc) you guys have to post A, B, C or D to decide what happens. I then carry on from there.
Chapter 1, ?Curtains up?.
The rain battered a chaotic but steady drum beat into the armored roof of the APC. Captain Sadanco stumbled his way back into the main area of the moving metal mass, he had just been in the cockpit on the horn to command.
?Alright Marines, listen up!?
His voice had become like music to Ryan?s ears, the whole squad knew that when the captain said ?Listen up? it meant that they were about to go into a combat situation and probably end up shooting things. Ryan Gripped his Pulse Rifle.
?We are on route to the Forward Observation Pods, ETA 3 minuets, seems we stuck lucky today, the Xenomorphs picked today as a good day to attack, our first order of duty will be to repel the Alien attack.?
The squad looked at each other confused, we had all only touched down on this planet a day before and had only been given the bare basics on what a Xenomorph was, what they were capable of, and how easy it was to kill them. It was our understanding that we were heading to the Pods to learn more about our new enemy, and here we were about to dive into combat with them.
?Now I know you all think your not ready.? The captain continued. ?But do I have to remind you WE ARE MARINES! Colonial bad assed, and were gonna? go out there today and kick some! Do you get me? Do you get me?!?
The squad let off a simultaneous ?hua? at the respective points in his little speech. Ryan gripped his pulse rifle lightly now, checking it over, safety off, clip full, grenades loaded. He was ready for whatever was waiting for them. The APC slid to a halt in the thick mud, the cannon on top of the APC began shooting.
?ALRIGHT MARINES LETS GO!?
The Captain thrashed the door of the APC back with both arms ready to get his hands dirty, in a split second he disappeared. One of the Xenomorph creatures was on the other side and had ripped him from place, stood in the doorway dragging him off screaming.
The squad was stunned, some of the soldiers jumped out of the now open door screaming for the captain, they began shooting as soon as they hit the mud, there must have been tens of the Alien creatures out there.
Ryan pulled himself out of his seat, he was at a crossroads, he couldn?t see outside so didn?t know the situation, he did know that the cannon on the APC had not stopped firing since they had stopped moving, the captain was gone, probably dead or severely wounded and three of his marine buddies had already slipped from there safety harnesses and jumped out of the open APC door shooting. What does he do?
A: Close the APC door, head to the cockpit and tell the driver to get moving.
B: Grab one of the smart guns and ammo (takes time) and jump out of the door.
C: Jumps out of the door with just his pulse rifle.
D: Shoots him self in terror thus ending the thread.

If you read what I said in my first post, you might not need steam.
Yes. I heard a rumour long ago that some people were trying to keep the old WON system alive but I never looked into it. You might find some old WON servers still running.

Short answer: No.
Long answer: Yes, not legally, google is your friend.

Make it brighter! All the battles in Starshiptroopers took place in the day time when it was well lit, hell even the battles underground were incredibly well lit.
Make it lighter so you can see whats going on.

I agree with BL. Trapt and ANT need to appolagise to Habboi, I tried explaining to him on IRC that you cant just condemn people with no evidence but he didnt listen.
Its too dark, StarShip Troopers was always well lit no matter what, brighten it up a little.
I would suggest using pit drones, that would be awesome.

Oh dear god no.
I was a moderator at H.I.T. for over a year and this is the shit that usually always came up, I though TWHL was different but now I realise that everywehre is the same. I'm not having a go or making a rant here but there are a few lessons to be learned her which HOPEFULLY people will take on board.
1: Dont take sides until YOU have made your own mind up WITH evidence to back it up. Jumping on band wagons just rocks the boat.
2: Trapt and Ant, what you did (as far as I can tell) was in your opinion in the best interests of TWHL at the time of the first few post. But really, you should not go making a thread warning people about how somone steals maps or might steal maps and screen shots unless you have HARD EVIDENCE. "A person is smart, people are dumb, irrational and panicy".
3: Where the hell were the mods? Shouldnt a mod's of been more observant on this thread, I mean people have a right to speak their mind but a lot of these posts were spam, flames and flaming spam.
Now I am not having a go at anyone, nor am I taking sides. I am speaking my mind, its a habbit I have, if I think it and I feel strongly about it I will say it. I'm just a 3rd party observer here making observations. So please, no flaming me, I'm not flaming you.
This entire thread is a fucking nersery school, and another thing, deleting it or sending it to the 'hall of shame' if you have one here will not make it better or do any good.
Everyone relax, looks like it was all a big misunderstanding or the so called 'informant' has it in for habboi (Note: I am not taking sides.).

I am in the exact same situation as Unbreakable, its like he took that post out of my mind and wrote it for me. I feel for you, and I pity myself, soon the same wave of life will take me and I must embrace it, I am 19.
Literally everything you said in that post is the story of my mapping career in the last year or so.
It really did touch me to know that somone out there feels the same way I do.
I didnt know you, but I feel I am closer to you now then I ever could of been. Goodbye and good luck.

Noooo! I wanted to vote for the 3rd one. Nuts, ah well. Good stuff.
[qoute]Theres an easter egg in OpFor I know about.
At the start of of1a6 before you open the big door to the teleport there are 2 ventillation covers, one at the ceiling and one opposite to the big door on the wall.
If you shoot the one at the wall the vent hole on the ceiling will break and a chumtoad will fall down from there. cyclops - :cyclops:[/qoute]
What? I loaded of1a6, its the level where the Gman closes the large door on you and the osprey takes off without you. There are no teleporter or special vent covers in that map.
