Falklands War MOD for HL/HL2 (Forums : Ideas & Concepts : Falklands War MOD for HL/HL2) Locked

After Looking at the Flashpoint in the Falklands MOD for Op.Flash, I think a Half-Life 2 MOD on the conflict would do the trick. The Mod would be online allowing different scenarios for different maps. For instance, a map based on Goose Green would mean the British player would play as a member of the Parachute Regiment, and an Argentine as their counter-parts during that battle. Other scenarios could include Wireless Ridge, the SAS raid on Pebble Island (this would be played a bit like the de_ maps in Counter-Strike, with the SAS team trying to blow up the planes stationed there and the Argentines trying to stop them) and (if the HL2 engine allows it) a scenario where Argentine jets must attemp to sink the British Task Force's ships while the British side must defend it with Harriers, AA fire and even small arms fire.

Game types would include demolitions (for SAS raids and the Argentine attack on the Task Force ), the standard Push, Defend (where the defending team must hold a certain position for a certain time) and others.

even though you would play as different troops on different maps the basic clas system would remain the same, with weapons changed and a new class (demolitions) added for the SAS missions:

the basic classes and weapons would be:

British

Rifleman- L1A1 SLR,sidearm,bayonet (can be attached to gun), grenades

Medic- SLR/Sterling,sidearm,bandages

NCO (can boost moral+more orders) - SLR/Sterling,sidearm,bayonet,binocs.,gren.

Machine Gunner-L7 GPMG/L4A2 LMG(Bren),sidearm

Support (has extra ammo+supplies to giv to troops) SLR,sidearm,extra ammo,extra bandages,grenades

Argentine

The same, but with Argentine names and weapons.

I know its ambitious, and won't apeal to the Americans out there, but it makes a change to the usual Vietnam or WW2 MOD.
