Nuclear Dawn is a modification for Valveās 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.
Nuclear Dawn is looking for new level designers to produce maps for the initial release of the modification.
A general update on the mod, including information about the Sticky Grenade, Stealth arms design and HUD work.
