good hl2 mod that i cant think of name........ Thread

Reading this, it sounds like a 3D Arcade game. Like "Street Fighters" or "Mortal Kombat".

I've seen this concept many times before, especially in fighting games. But what most important about this thing is either character customization and/or a wide variety of characters to play as. If its HL2 characters, there would be a lot of issues of character players. They have to be purely humanoid, so that itself eliminates a lot of character choices. Don't forget that with such a small range of characters to play as, each player has their own opinions of the characters. Say if I wish to shoot "a mega lazor", but I don't wish to be a Combine, then that itself can eliminate many choices for players.

If there was choice of Avatars, then the game would be somewhat more fun. At least more enjoyable. But if you do decide on choice of Avatars, then the "special abilities" would also have to be custom. Like if I'm a Rebel, I can choose my character to have either the special ability to heal himself, run faster, or "launch a nuke". Each player have its own preference, you must consider that as you create a mod. You must please every audience, as well as keeping your main idea as the basis.

From what I can see, reading your other posts, you are impatient and wish for a team to work with you from the start. You are a project leader, what you say, goes. And what you don't do reflects on your entire team. What makes a good mod is the effort put into it. "now tell me some ideas and concepts should be added to the mod." even shows that that you haven't put much effort into making the idea. Look at some other mods, or watch the ModCast to get some ideas, and then come back when you are ready.

To be honest its quite hard to follow your concept, it is a bit confusing with all the "Zombies could summon more zombies from corpe's near them and combine could shoot a mega lazor and rebels could shoot a nuke "

im sorry i meant to be more clear so lemme re-write it. i want to have like a hl2:deathmatch type game except you get special abilities. you choose a race and class and each race and class will have a special ability. being more on team pvp. on rebels team there are rebels, medics, and scientists. on combine team there is Combine, combine elite, and metro police. then there is zombie team having Zombie, fast zombie, poison zombie. zombies will have a speed and dmg upgrade because they can't use guns. yuor race will determen what team you are on and the class will determen what special abilitys and statistics you have. if you are interested more in this concept please ask. i will be more than happy to answer.
