It is mankind's most basic nature to destroy what he creates, to one day turn a season of peace into one of war. Badge of Blood will use Valve's Source engine from Half-Life 2 to tell a dramatic narrative of a bitter independence war fought between the corporate colonies of Mars and the major economic powers of Earth. In doing so, we are also adhering to the principles of realism, avoiding the many clichés of the genre. You won't see force fields, laser swords, or blasters here. We are going to great lengths to ground our science fiction in science fact, to tell a story of what can be; of what someday will be. What will the first war in space be like? What weapons will be used, and who will participate? How will it be fought? We aim to answer these questions as we continue to develop Badge of Blood the Half-Life 2 mod. To punctuate our dedication to the setting in which the First Person Shooter will be taking place, we will also be publishing a set of core rulebooks and...

awesome! an assault rifle, submachine gun, heavy machine gun, and sniper rifle all in one!

though, for the different weapon types don't you think you should have a different calibur bullet?

Well, the U.S. Army doesn't think so... and we're taking our cue from them. Modular weapon systems are the way of the future, we think. And though AB10 modules CAN use different calibers, logisitically, it is more efficient to have all variations use the same ammunition.

The development of the flexible AB10 KE Mk II
(often referred to as the MARS rifle) was a bumpy
road indeed. In the latter months of 2192, the
Institute of Defense Technologies (an advisory and
assessment committee to the Martian Body Politik)
clandestinely issued a competition to several
trusted companies for the production of a
military-grade modular infantry weapon system.
Some of the required specifications demanded that
the rifle be lightweight (under 2.6kg), have high
tolerances for dust and debris, and be easily
serviced by its user, even in an environmental
suit. It was to be able to fire reliably and
accurately in low and zero G environments, be
easily modified in the field to perform a number
of infantry and security roles, and have integral
radiation/heat shielding for use in open space.
One of the more notable demands was that the
weapon had fire a new type of round being
developed by Armatek Security Technologies, the
6mm Case-less UMR-KE. The rifle also had to have
internal electronics and camera-scope feed that
would allow it to be fully compatible with
Synergetic System’s CombatNT (pronounced
“combatant”) battlefield networking framework.
