Act of Duty Modification Thread

Hi there, i am the project leader from the modification Act of Duty for the upcoming FPS/RPG S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. I post this topic to bring our mod under the attention of you, the reader, and to gain feedback for it.

The idea is simple; we want to make a multiplayer mod that combines realism and fun with a complex background story wich will bring the laxity from the US government and the US army under the attention. The story is based om some real facts from the past all put in a fictional setting in the near feature.

The game itself may look and play like any other FPS, however we want to make te gameplay more interesting by adding a few elements that stimulate teamplay and create unpredictable circumstances.

If you want to know more about the gameplay or the story, please visit the about page on our website at Actofduty.oblivionlost.nl. Hereunder follows a list of features we are planning to implement.

Features
--------------------------------------------------

• X-Ray technology

The enhanced graphics, day/night cycle, physics and weather effects make the X-Ray technology from Stalker the best choice of engine for the mod in order to create detailed interactive levels with unexpected conditions each time you play.

• Intense, slow paced gameplay

The combination of the class system, the realistic objectives, and the unexpected factors, as named above, provide a whole new mulitplayer experience where teams wo play together and adjust their tactics quickly take the advantage over the others. [more on gameplay: see above, under 'gameplay']

• Class system

With the class system we want to stimulate the teamplay and give you the option to choose in wich part of the team you want to take place. Each class has its own choice of arsenal.

• Story based missions

Each mission you play has a background story. You can read this story in the main menu. It also contains a briefing, so it's important you read this information before you are deployed on the battlefield.

• Realistic character behaviour

Just like in real life, aiming, sight and speed will decrease when you are wounded. Concerning weapons there will be realistic ballistics, aim to sight, bullet penetration and more. They act like they would in real life.

So what do you think about it? You have any comments, suggestions, or anything else?

Mmmm..... stimulate teamplay.....*drools*

It sounds like a lot of fun, though. I'm definitely going to keep my eye out for this one. Although I won't be buying S.T.A.L.K.E.R, I wish you and your team the best of luck in your mod endeavor.
