Nuclear Dawn is a modification for Valve’s Source engine that combines visceral and violent First Person Shooter action with fast-paced Real Time Strategy in the aftermath of an apocalyptic war. You can choose the mission or lead the attack as a commander, marshalling resources and deploying weapons and equipment for your team to use.
You can storm a building as an assault trooper, cling to the shadows and rely on your active camouflage as a stealth, or unleash terrible firepower from a powered suit of exo-armor. You have the responsibility and the power to decide the outcome of every engagement. If your opponents are lucky there will be enough of them left to bury.
Although we have been around for a long time, this mod is still in active development, and the development team is breaking its collective back on getting this mod to you as soon as possible. Stay tuned !

We are happy to announce that the mod has just emerged from a very frustrating period for its team and its fans. The bottom line is that the project is now under new leadership and has been streamlined, with some key alterations made to its gameplay design and a polished closed beta release of the core gameplay expected as soon as two months' time for a select number of our fans and an even-more-polished public release to follow soonafter.

Work on the mod is back up to full speed. We're very lucky to have three programmers working on the code and an almost-full complement of artists working on the maps and models (see website for recruitment info). Here are some of their latest offerings:
