Half-Life 2: Wars Beta 0.5 SOURCE CODE
Mar 23, 2010 Source Code 9 commentsThis is the source code for HLW v0.5, our July 2008 public beta release. The game executable is not included, only the modification's raw source files...
Half-Life 2: Wars brings the struggle between the human resistance and their Combine overlords to a real-time strategy setting. HLW has been in development since 2007 and last saw a public release (Beta 0.5) in July 2008. Beta 0.5, which you can download here on ModDB, requires Half-Life 2: Episode 2 to play and is a singleplayer-only proof of concept release. Our next public release, hopefully by the end of 2010, will be the Antlion demo, which will feature multiplayer and many vast improvements over Beta 0.5, but the only playable faction will be the Antlions. Future public betas will return to featuring the Combine and human factions.
Beta 0.5 requires Orange Box to play. Orange Box SDK Base and HL2: Episode Two must be installed.

S ummer is drawing to a close, and the Half-Life 2: Wars team has been hard at work since we last updated you all in March. We have a few items on the agenda for this news post. First, we are happy to announce that the highly anticipated Antlion demo is almost ready for release! We are in feature lock and currently all we are doing is balance tweaking and hunting down those last elusive bugs. You can expect the demo to be released to the public sometime next month. The Antlion demo, to refresh your memory, is a limited multiplayer release of HL2: Wars that features Antlions as the only playable human race, with a handful of different maps. Not only is it multiplayer, but the code is vastly improved so that the performance lag from our past releases is gone. Everything is more streamlined, efficient, and polished than before. We'll update you in coming weeks before the release to demonstrate and explain the gameplay more in-depth. For now, check out this trailer that BiotecVirus kindly made for us, with music from team sound designer sbeast64:
We'd also like to put out another request for team members! We are looking mainly for 3d artists and texture artists (both for model skins and world textures), so if you are experienced and have a respectable portfolio, get in touch with us on our forums or by email (hl2warsmod@gmail.com) If you have some other modding talent, feel free to drop us a line as well. We're always looking for talented people. Source engine experience is not required but strongly desired.
That's all for today, but we'll be in touch over the next few weeks leading up to the release sometime in September - we'll give you a more specific date a little bit further down the line. Stick around, because we're on the verge of our first public release since Summer 2008, more than two years ago!

Why is it taking so long to release the full game?
Because it's not an easy mod to make and there is alot of things to do. Plus we have scrapped the mod twice over and rebuilt it (this has been mentioned on numerous occasions)The next release (which will be released in a few weeks) is an antlion demo, but will feature the brand new engine we have built and will showcase the multiplayer side of hl2wars everyone has been dieing to see.
hey can someone help me with this?... I have all of the games required except for ep2... is that the only one i need or do i have to buy the orange box?
add combine rebel and zmobie team to its fun :D
This mod may be a slow development but it's improving and sure the team needs more members.
I thought this was dead.
Glad to see it isn't!
I have the half life 2 and all of the episodes installed, but when I try to play it, the game has missing textures, and the npcs have messed up animations and stretching which make the game unplayable.
Make sure you did run Episode two at least once after you installed it.
I have. To double check I launched ep2 again before trying to play HL2 wars again. It is still the same.
update your graphics card and list your systems stats please to the bug & support section of the forum if that does not help.
