Actionbased racing MOD for HL2 Thread

This ideah has been done before, but I think that it would make for an especially fun HL2 mod. Based on Super Offroad/Rock and Roll Racing/etc.

1. cash reward system
2. performance upgrades
3. vehical mass options
4. one gunner and one driver per vehical

1.1 win a race
1.2 eliminate a vehical
1.3 lap a vehical
1.4 bonus money (pick-up item)

2.1 horsepower
2.2 suspension
2.3 different vehical platforms

3.1 mass
3.1.1 heavey vehicals are more stable
3.1.2 lighter vehicals go faster
3.3 gun projectiles have variable mass
3.3.1 high kick of gun can flip or roll vehical if too high and off balance
3.3.2 high mass of projectile can impact opponents

4.1 cash rewards are split
4.2 flipped vehicals can be relocated by driver to continue the race

yeah, racing!! i cant wait

Perfect idea

AWSOME!!!
your a bloody genius.
but with the gunner and driver, are they two players, or one?

Nice idea *thumbs up*

I am with makkon - would be interesting if you have one guy racing and the other being the shooter.

or being able to race in seperate vehicles and still fire and race ^_^ kinda like that game wipeout.

Not one for racing games, but good idea

Yeah.. That was what I had in mind was to have two players per vehical (4.0). It would be way to hard to race and shoot at highspeeds. 4.1 refers to cash being split halfway between the racer and the driver who can spend their cash independantly, but can only buy from their specific list of upgrades. One list would be for the vehical upgrades and the other list would be for the gunner. So the driver can say upgrade the engine and suspension and the gunner could upgrade weapons. It would be nice if the gunner could not only upgrade rounds per minute and projectile mass, but also have the ability to purchase gun kick suppressors and stabilizers. One feature that would be very interesting would be having gun rotation being very slow initially and having gun rotation upgrades.

Additionally I constantly find myself playing with the same person alot. It would be nice if there was a team based game where teams would be consistent of two players so that you and a buddy could show off your skills together and not by running arround 'Rambo StyLay' in CS. I think this would be very rewarding. Maybe the name of the mod could be derived from this.. something like TwinTurbo or DualCarbs.

Racing is my favorite. I love SuperOffroad and Rock N' Roll Racing (the ultimate in combat racers).

NOTE:

I was going to put these two ideahs in the first post, but I left it out. I don't know why.

1. It would be preferable if the gunner was elevated to a hight that he could shoot in all directions.
2. Also I think it would be cool if the vehicals were very unstable and topheavy. This would have to be play tested however to ensure smooth gameplay.
