Welcome to the first media update of Half-Life 2: Wars! HL2:Wars is a realtime strategy
modification in the hl2 universum. The first release will only feature one map, which will
feature all basic things of a rts game ( except base building, this will come in a later release ).

Would be interesting to have additional players able to control a mercenary manually or something of that line.
Awesome mod, had a lot of fun playing it! Waiting for the next update now!
Hmm intresting you guys are using python...
you guys dont actualy need orange box to play, just the OB source. And i dont have Hl2 Ep2, but it still plays fine, i dont know why.
Wow!
Good job! the mod looks soo cool!
Hey, this looks like an Age of Empires 3 mod than a hl2 mod, doesnt?
Please put in the day of defeat soldiers and tech tree that matches, even the weapons!!!!
also that would make it like company of heroes
it's HALF LIFE 2 WARS not DAY OF DEFEAT WARS
This is HL2 wars. Not DoD wars.
Just tried it, I must say I was pleasantly surprised by how well many of the engine's and original game's features translated to an RTS scale - dynamic sound, AI cover. It played well, save for buggy pathfinding at times, sometimes unnecessary full-LOD, and if a little repetitive rush-based gameplay. I would have rather if camera rotation was somehow mapped to the mouse, perhaps you could take a look at how World in Conflict's (and Ground Control 2) especially since it had WASD for movement too. Some hotkeys for abilities or generally unit options would be welcome additions too, and would it be possible to change the "add to group" key from Ctrl to Shift, as is the convention in RTS games? Regardless of whether you choose to implement these changes, I still must commend you for a job well done, and am looking forward to future releases!
