Is there a mod out there that takes the half life 2 universe and turns it into multi-player where its combine vs. rebels but similar to say that of the call of duty games? If there isn't i think it would be a great mod to make especially since a lot of the assets from the game could be used for maps.. player models etc..  You could have different classes and re--use some characters and make new models that are from the half life universe that didnt make it into the second game etc... like the assassin, different weapons etc... and come up with your own ideas.. similar to call of duty you could have it so if you get so many kills in a row you could release headcrabs/ zombies/ manhacks/ hunters/ or it could be a money or point system and you could save up to release such enemies on the rebels or use points to buy better weapons during a game.. not sure what the rebels could have in their arsenal for enemies to send out to attack the combine but i am sure something cool could be thought up. You could make maps that are straight from a half life setting.. and come up with new ideas and expand upon the half life universe. Now don't go thinking i am obsessed with call of duty.. but i am just using that as something to compare this idea to..  There could be different gameplay types etc..

There are two mods that are similar to this idea, yet offer different gameplay. There is:

1. Obsidian Conflict; incorporates co-op (you can go through the missions of HL1/HL2/EP1/EP2) as well as custom maps (that also include co-op).
2. Jailbreak: Source; this is probably the mod you are looking for. It pits 2 teams (rebels and combine) against each other and the main objective is to "jail" or imprison the opposite team and eventually kill them. You'll find more information at Jailbreaksource.com

those are similar ideas but not quite what i am saying although i have played jailbreak source. and enjoyed it much not digging the whole idea of it being dinosaurs and robots but still it can be fun.. just wish the weapons and stuff were more based off of a half life 2 setting more.. etc..etc.. i would love to work on a mod like this but obviously seems like no one is interested since nobody has posted besides you haha

Doesn't sound too bad.
Objectives + HL2 weapons and setting CAN be ok.
I suggest making a small code-and-map only mod, to test the idea.
I very much enjoy the ideas you got with releasing manhacks, zombies etc.

Grab the code, try making it.
Don't put in all the bells and whistles, only the basics. Make 2 maps. With stock HL2 textures.
Publish the mod here, ask for some people to test it with you.
Downloading 40Mb of mod isn't too dangerous for just some testing.
I am sure the feedback will be useful in telling you what to improve, and what to do later.
