99 Bolts mod for Half-Life 2

Placing an emphasis on using the crossbow in a world loosely inspired by Fallout 3, 99 Bolts plunges you into an irradiated sniper mission.

You can traverse a sprawling radioactive wasteland, born from the distant ashes of the Seven Hour War.  You can battle the Combine, who have taken control of a small town several kilometers away.  You can explore shattered homes and derelict towns, long since emptied in the face of Combine dominion.  You can eventually find a sniper's crossbow in the wasteland, planted for you by the sparse rebel forces outside the Combine walls.  And you will only have ninety-nine crossbow bolts at your disposal...your mission?

Your mission is to find Winona, the enigmatic human ambassador to the Combine...she's been pimping the town out to the aliens and keeping all the spoils for herself...for this, she simply has to die.

You'll be lucky to get inside the tall steel walls the Combine erected around the town's perimeter.  The wasteland is a ruthless place, so save your ammo and try to avoid conflict if you can.  Once you find your crossbow, you'll find that things die a lot quicker around you...but again, use some discipline...save your bolts for your target.  There are many obstacles in your way, both obvious and hidden...so keep a sharp eye on the corners and a sharp mind on the future.

Good luck, assassin...and thanks for your interest in 99 Bolts.

This mod is being designed as a creative mash-up of Fallout 3 and Half-Life 2.  While the wasteland and other maps in this game will be sprawling in scope, 99 Bolts will not feature any kind of free-roaming mechanic...and while each map will be large enough for the player to find several solutions to a map, 99 Bolts aims to be a linear, story-driven, Half-Life 2-esque experience.  (This modification is meant to be played on Half-Life 2: Episode 2.  You will need Episode 2 to play this game.)
