The idea of the mod is to basicly remake Halflife 2 but telling the same story. You are still gordon Freeman, the combine have still invaded the earth, it's basicly new maps and more exicting battles for you. (I hope)

This is a community project, so just e-mail me if you want to help. Cheers!

What's wrong with the idea? Something someone didn't like about Halflife 2 can be changed in City17. Of course you won't start with a RPG and COmbine are already useing the supression feild on you, no, this is a serious mod. It will be Hard. It will be funny sometimes

[qoute]Cat? What cat?[qoute]

That is what alyx says on Red letter day to Kleiner and Barney when they are talking about the teleport.

maps look good.

Idea is honestly pretty bad. its not gonna beat HL2's gameplay... i suggest working on a larger variation of the original plot

Of course there will be new bits in the story and some extra goodies. But they main bulk of the story will be the same, like Barney being undercover CP.

PS. IEMC or 7th, could you delete the "what do you mean" bit I said and replace it with this.

Nothing can beat you driving with an airboat, dodging mines while jumping over fire.

just nothing...

Okay, what about this story -
This idea was thought out over a period of 5 minutes, so please make some changes if you don't like, then, I can put it all togeather and start mappin'

Chapter 1 - New arrivals
Gordon gets off the train, has no idea where he is, he does a little exploring around the trainstation platform and heads for the exit. The exit lands him on a narrow back street alley, where he finds a couple of CPs beating up some guys. He walks away and finds himself on a main road, as he stands there 2 Combine APCs come rushing past him. He crosses the road and finds a door unlocked, he goes inside and finds blood splattered against the wall. Gordon Looks around him and sees a set of stairs. He starts climbing them and when he reaches the top, he sees a group of citizens walking around, looking anxoius. Then suddenly, a womens voice sounded saying "Attention Citizens - Miscounts detected in your block, cooperation with you fellow Civil Protection team equauls full ration reward. (or what ever shes says)" Gordon hears a scream as 3 CPs climb the stairs, when their batons out. They start beeting everyone but Gordon runs away, and goes up another set of stairs. He now finds himself in a room full of crap, with cardboard boxes everywhere and rubbish/trash all over the floor. He finds a crowbar on the floor and picks it up, just as he picks it up, a CP comes up the stairs and Gordon Kills him with the crowbar. 2 more come up with their batons and Gordon kills them too. He smashes a pile of boxes and behind them he finds a door, he goes through it into and enters a lab of some sort...

Chapter 2 - old friends (no, I did not steel that title of you, The Hunter)
He finds Dr. Kliener coming out with alyx, they look really surprized to see him. Alyx introduces herself while Kleiner fiddles with his computer.
While Alyx and Kleiner are working, Gordon explores the area and finds his old H.E.V suit, and Kliener sees him putting it on. "I see your old H.E.V suit still fits you like a glove...or at least the glove parts do." says Kleiner.

Chapter 3 - OOOoOoo...A teleporter
Alyx shows Gordon a teleporter device, and asks him if he wants to have a go with it. But at the very moment Gordon steps in and Alyx activates the teleporter, CP burst into the room. Alyx leaves you and starts shooting the CPS, while you are being teleported! A combine man throws a grenade just as you teleport, and you get sent to some kind of Beach of some sort...

Chapter 4 - Get me outta here!
Gordon starts exploring and finds a airboat, he climbs in and starts driving.
As he is driving Cps start shooting him from wooden towers, bridges and higher ground. A helicopter swoops down and starts shooting Gordon, (this is the fun part) and he is racing for his life as he whirls up the beach, Just in the ditance, he sees a tunnel, that is the only cover he has got from that darn helicopter! He goes in...

Chapter 5 - Zombies...
The tunnel is wrecked, cars detroyed, and Zombies everywhere. Gordon kills a load of Zombies and abandones the air boat... He finds a door and enters it...
It's just a old shaddy room with lights flikering and in the darksness
Gordon finds a Pistal, which he takes and keeps safe...

End of the story for now. Please could someone add more to the story - after all, this is a community project!

I dont mean to be rude or anything, but a mod usually means a modification of the original game. The project you want to do sounds more like an addon than a modification... Not even so since it sounds like you want to do a remake of hl2. I could understand it if we were in the year 2010 and you were using the SuperSource Engine 2 (or something like that) the way I understand the remake of hl1 in source, Black Mesa: Source.
Maybe I'm becoming too lazy to map, but I'd rather wait for Loast Coast and Aftermath than making my own hl2...
Anyway, the screenshots look good so good luck if you actually go on with this! :)
I think you could use your skills to make a quite a nice map for the source compo.

Okay. Let's hear anther story then.

Tell you what, I'll make the mod with the story above, and see what you think - okay?

Does anyone know a program that can open VTF files? I think they are skins for models, I really need to edit some skins!

bastard stole my chapter name :lol: :glad: hehe...

also, killing three baton wielding CPs on hardest difficulty setting is very difficult.
