Fight Club Mod for Half-Life Fight Club HL Interview feature

BigBird: State your name and position at FCHL:
tw13ve: tw13ve, and on the team I am the leader/founder, I made about 7 weapon models, and a few unreleased maps, which I don't think we will use (a subway, a little arena, rooftop map, and a basketball court which we might use).

BigBird: What is the aim of FCHL?
tw13ve: We aim to create it as melee only, there won't be any firarms. The only weapons you can use are what you can find lying around, depending on the scenario. Other weapons such as poolcues, chains and knuckle dusters will also be used. You would be fighting in bars,
alley ways and general dumps, which will create the dark and dirty atmosphere of Fight Club. The mod is based on the fighting you see in the movie, and not so much the deep meaning, we need to get the word out about that, people get the wrong impression and flame us about what we are trying to achieve.

BigBird: What stage of completion is FCHL at?
tw13ve: We think that we are almost half way to a beta release, we want to make sure the first
release makes a good impression and not just something slapped together.

BigBird: What type of game play is in FCHL?
tw13ve: It's melee fighting so there will be a few modes of play, one is 'Fight Club mode', which is just 1 on 1 fighting, everyone else are spectating, but in the map visible by others, they will be able to taunt and cheer but can only go so close to the fighters, but cant join in on the fight, there are no weapons, just your fists. When one person is finished, a new fighter comes in and fights the winner of the last round. hus making it harder for the winnner as he only gains a little amount of health. We will also have 'Gang Brawl mode', where a bunch of your buddies and you are out to beat up another gang, who have the same intentions towards you.
Weapons will be involved, but they will be able to take out as a server decision. Plus a basic deathmatch mode, you know, every man for himself. These modes aren't completely decided, we still may change them.

BigBird: How is the game play in FCHL?
tw13ve: It's lots of fun, since you can't keep your distance and camp with a gun, if you want your frags you gotta earn them so you have to go right into it and take the chances.

BigBird: Is there a likely release date penciled in?
tw13ve: We're not sure when we will release anything playable, but alot of things have been coming together recenlty such as a few exported weapon models, and more coding, plus more maps.

BigBird: What is the fan base like for FCHL?
tw13ve: The Fan base is good and helpful, I often get emails from people saying how good it looks, and most say that they don't have any skills we could use, but if they need anything else, just ask them, which is really nice of people to see that we are appreciated and people are looking forward to release. But check the site for updates, more eyecandy is a comin!

A big thank-you to tw13ve for his time, and all the best for the FCHL team
