Suggestion: Don't get too hung up over the 'incident'; learn what people find offensive, and try not to talk like that too much in the future. I'm sure everyone's pretty much over it by now, so that's just a bit of friendly advice. :)

Aeternus is sort of not active if that's what you are referring to, lol. I came up with a badass storyline only for it to become ultimately way too ambitious.

So I'm starting with a new idea, hopefully pretty original. I've set goals, and I intend to reach them with/without a team.

I'm sure HL2 will have a substantial player base, but a mod of the type you intend to make will require considerably more effort than it would using a Q3 engine simply because the expectations are so much higher. I think your idea has some merit. That genre has always been a favorite of mine. But I would not attempt it on an engine I didn't have several years experience with.

To me the ET engine is perfect because I'm not dependent on the existing player base. I don't even bother going to ET sites. I have enough past mod success that I just send my completed projects to a couple of PC game magazines and they include it in their CD/DVD that goes with the mags.

If you decide to give up doing your mod for HL2, and want to try another engine come talk to me in a few months. I have a new ET engined game to finish first.

I realize that, and I think that's great. But not many people will know about a mod for ET, whereas more will indeed know about a released mod for HL2. They are in two different leagues, my friend.

ET is a free game with a considerable player base that continues to grow. No there are not any decent mods (well not many) for it. But, it's completely free, has PB support, download redirect, GMax, their own version of Radiant and all source code and model and animation formats. You can use the engine for any game you want and if it's decent people will play it, because the entire thing is free.
