Character Production - The UASC news - BLACKSECTOR Mod for Half-Life 2

THE UASC:

Well, there have been a few weeks with no update and our progress has indead slowed down a bit due to real life porblems and jobs. But with this huge update, i wanted to let you know that we are still alive and working to complete this awesome mod. So i started to collect all the information and WIPs about the second faction you will be able to play in the BLACKSECTOR TC Mod: The UASC (United Alliance Special Corps).

The Organisation:
The UASC is a military special unit founded by the United Nations, the most powerful countries to fight against the Wraith Horde, which appeared on earth years ago to torture the human race. Their destination is to resist the Horde's attacks and strike back in the name of mankind. Their goal is to win back their life and land. This faction will have about four different classes: The Heavy Assault, the Light Infantry, the Sniper Class and the Silent Spy. Each of them will have their own abilities and weapons to fight against the powerful Wraith Horde.

The Weapons:
Each class has its own weapons. You can take the Heavy Assault Soldier with granade launcher and huge armor or pick the Light Infantry, who runs pretty fast but has also effective and strong guns to strike against the Horde. You can also take control of the Silent Spy or the Sniper with its long distance weaponry. You have the choice. Which UASC class will fit you?

The Concepts:
The paintings you can see here are very early work in progresses by different artists. At the moment we are working hard to bring the Wraith Horde into the game, so there is just barely time to keep developing the UASC faction, because we are just a pretty small team around the BLACKSECTOR project. But our UASC lead designer MJ is going to bring the UASC to life again so that we can hopefully see some new results in the next few weeks.

The Models:
We want to bring a very own personality to each UASC class. That's why we have so many different models, armors, weapons and looks. The models you can see here above were made by MJ, who is working on advanced renders and concepts at the moment. We did a lot of research work on the armor to create a realistic feel and look of the UASC soldiers. 

 

The Videos:
We have lots of different UASC helmet versions and heads as you can see in the two videos. Each UASC class will also have a different look and feel. The videos are also made by MJ, leading character designer for the UASC production. And sorry for the bad quality again. I was not able to upload the videos onto ModDB. Maybe i will do that later.
