Firearms: Source
Half-Life 2 mod | Released Jul 22, 2010
Firearms: Source is a team based first person shooter, rooted in the traditions of the Firearms mod for Half-Life. Firearms: Source brings the best aspects of Firearms to the Source engine, and then takes them a step further. You'll see a host of familiar weapons and maps, but you'll find the streamlined game play to be faster, focusing on aggressive, skilled play. From nearly the moment you spawn you can expect to be engaged in furious action.

Thanks for the mention
Very nice that you show the different themes.
NeoTokyo did indeed win! I agree, NT is the best. Don't you dare mention Dystopia & them being alike.
Not original? You've played it and you say that? The gameplay videos showcase some original combat. It's Counter-Strike-esque, but not CS exactly. It's not the same ****, it's new.
Oh wait, then all of a sudden you say you haven't PLAYED! Geeze. Yeah, they said they don't like PR. They do release high quality media, much more than most Mods.
Overall, great podcast. NT did win. DBD wasn't really a fair contestant. :P Not a mod, either. They're not relying on ****! Only hard work.
Also, the DBD team stole the NMRiH assets and won't talk with them. It's going to stay a map pack, it's never going to be a Mod!
Whoever that guy from Planet Half-Life is, he's smart! I didn't know of him before hand, but he's smart. I agree on Zombie Panic.
Mod of the Year awards is more of a popularity contest, anyways. Personally, I don't pay too much attention to it.
I've played it... Emanuel hasn't. I was the one saying that it wasn't original - Emanuel was praising it and didn't play it... let's just make that clear. Also DBD didn't steal from NMRIH... same developer; NMRIH needs to get their act together - one day they are gone the next they are not... they don't make very wise decisions.
Regardless, he stole maps and assets from them. You can get the Official story from them. He stole some maps and gave them to Zombie Panic Source. Tatsur0 can confirm. ZP:S is even giving the maps back. I have no respect for such a guy.
When did you play? I remember trying to get you setup but dont recall you ever joining in any playtests we had.
Oh snapple, the plot thickens. :P
Sigh...
Theres always somebody that won't understand that DBD won fairly
Dave, I think you called your mod initially 'Gauntlet', right?
Yeah that's right.
It sounds like Arcadium would work well as a L4D mood, since there a lives for players and such.
you know, just putting the thought out there
Emanuel has a good point, why keep doing zombie mods or star wars mods... contribute to already existing mods but don't keep creating the same content/games over and over again...
Agreed.
I love Zombie games, I play them like crack. Honestly though, I wish when a Zombie mod / game was announced, I could be like
"ALL RIGHT MAN, THIS IS GOING TO ROCK!"
But nah man, they make so many these days, and most are the same as the other one...it's just getting boring. L4D was really the best Zombie game in years to me. It didn't try to be revolutionary with it's Gameplay, but it took what existed and perfected it. It's the pinnacle of what a Zombie game should go for. Hordes of zombies, desperate fights, and great atmosphere. SLow / Fast Zombies, all preference to you.
I'm a bit disappointed about the mention of Half-Life: Visitors, because it was only about the foreplay: the tramsystem. But there is a huge amount of stuff to tell about the game or about background information!
Anyway, thank you for mention it in the interview :)
What did Emanuel have to say about Firearms: Source? Is it in a previous podcast?
