Codename: Black Metal mod for Half-Life 2

Codename: Black Metal (CBM) will be a First person World War II shooter modded on Valve's Orange Box Engine. The mod will include both single and multiplayer with several multiplayer game mode.

This mod will heavy utilize teamwork element with a simple class system. The classes are categorized as offensive , defensive, and support types. Each class will be able to choose their own selection of weapons. There will also be upgrade and attachment once a player have completed require tasks.

The current design for multiplayer mode will be attack and defend, and capture the flag.

Health System
CBM will feature the health regeneration system, once a player suffer enough damage he will die, however, if the player can stay low, he will recover from his wound in a period of time. The time of recoveries will be longer than other FPS titles. Players can apply first aid on themselves to reduce the recovery time but they will not be able to return fire during the healing animation.

HUD and Ammunition
CBM will use a more realistic HUD, there will be no health bar as we have mention with our health system, in addition there will be no cross hair and ammo count. The ammunition icon will only display the amount of magazine left for your primary and secondary weapon, so players will have to keep count on their bullet in their gun.

Reloaded magazine will be tossed on the ground so unused bullet in the magazine will be also be wasted, therefore it is wise to reload accordingly. There will be ammunition dump available to replenishes magazines, and of course fallen allies or enemies will drop weapons as well.
