So would I. I have bags of free time I'm just gonna waste if I don't do something productive and fun. As for custom models, they should be allowed if they are low def, since I love reskinning low def grunts. I agree that we use spirit and original hl, and also, won't people have started upgrading their computers for hl2 so high def models WILL work with most people? Still, better not to take risks. Besides, you have a bit more freedom when reskinning low def models, they have more textures to edit. Anyway, your plot ideas sound OK, but I have another suggestion (It was originally going to be a mod of my own but it could be this) : HL, but you play as a regular scientist with no HEV suit (You use spirit's start with HEV thing so you have the HUD). You are just going about some sort of simple research, office area maybe? Anyway, you are just doing basic research when the disaster strikes. Like my idea? And also, about the mapping, we need to make sure that everyone gives it 100%, how can we make them? Maybe we should have them reviewed in the MV and not accept anything that's rated 2 or 1? Maybe we should get atom to disable ratings for the person who submitted it. Anyway, those are my ideas. And, in case you just flicked through and didn't read all of this, I'll say it again:
I'd like to be a member of the Core.
Thanks for your cooperation and patience.
