This is a Half-Life 2 total conversion. It's a mod based strongly on Diablo 1 with the style of gameplay in Diablo 2. I always felt Diablo 1 had the better story and atmosphere, but Diablo 2 had the better gameplay and more useful features. In this mod, we're attempting to pull together the best of both of the games to bring the player into a truly download worthy mod. The story will be recreated from scratch and will be based loosely on the Diablo 1 story. This story will be entirely new and is not meant to affect the outcome of either Diablo 1, Diablo 2, or any of the Diablo novels or upcoming games (Diablo 3). We Will Not Release Crap

As some of you may already know, Diablo 3 was announced yesterday. It was also my birthday yesterday, so that was a nice birthday surprise from Blizzard. I can't really say it was a surprise since I knew they were going to announce it when they aquired diablo3.com, but it was exciting still.
This made me do some thinking. I started Abaddon because I wanted to make a Diablo game in full 3d on a modern engine. Now that Blizzard is working no the official Diablo 3, it kind of makes my original reasoning and motivation behind this mod obsolete. There is no way that we could ever even hope to make a mod that would be even close to what Diablo 3 will be (if you don't believe me, go look at some of the videos for Diablo 3). Because of this, I've decided to discontinue the development of Abaddon. It saddens me, and I'm sure it saddens many others, to do this, but with Diablo 3 under development, if we were to continue this mod it would be like trying to compete with Diablo 3 and we could never do that. If someone would like to continue this mod in my place, just let me know and I'll send you all of my files and images and code and models and everything else that I've done so you can continue the mod.
Thank you and I wish all of you the best of luck developing mods and mod hunting.

D3 may be coming out but in how long.when they said SC2 would be coming out when they announced it but it took them a hell of a lot longer then they said it would be. looks like i gotta go find another rpg mod T_T.
aww, dont bomb this mod just cause of D3. I really wanted this to come out :(
but why play this mod when you could play diablo 3? plus i'm fed up with developing for the source engine. it's overly difficult to do such simple things when it shouldn't have to be. i guess the unreal 3 engine has spoiled me. since im not going to be leading this mod anymore i might try doing some mods for the unreal engine. maybe one day when blizzard has stopped doing diablo games, i'll start up abaddon again if no one else has.
=(
mod is dead T^T
