HELIX is a First person shooter source modification created by my brother Xyius (aka Exos212, akA Mr.Data :P), and me, Xyos212. Its emphysis on originality graphically is advanced source mapping, modeling, and texture art. Our goal is to make this look as realistic as possible, but still run at least at 40 FPS on an average machine. (HDR disabled will compensate alot of FPS problems for the low end machines)
The gameplay is still being drawn up as we create content. The setting, story, and weapons are all done (in concept) and ready for mapping/modeling, etc. So far gameplay will be as follows:
Round based, decent HP so it takes a bit to take an enemy down, Unique movement abilities to vary gameplay, and more little tweaks to the way you recover HP, deal damage, and destroy the enemy.

This is an abstract gameplay explination, and will be updated as we go along. Right now its a bit cumbersome to post progress on a continious basis and work on the mod, so updates will be about 3-4 days apart. (Best case scenario)
One big thing were going for in the mod is the results of you killing your enemy. Headshots will reward expoding heads (Think gibs with blood sprites spraying all over), exposions will cause bodies to, well.... explode :)
The basis of the mod revolves around realistic content, with alot of finess behind it.
All screenshots posted here are all WIP. They are all subject to change. We would appreciate any comments on them, as it will help the development to create the most realistic enviornments the source engine can handle.
Every screenshot (with the exception of the hands) will be shown in-game. No pre-rendered in XSI to make it look better than it is.

We have finalized the storyline (thanks to xyos for writing it) and posted it on our mod site. You can find it by going to our site and clicking "story." (Note: We did not put it in the Moddb profile because it was too long to fit.)

And I figured every news post should have SOME screenshots so I took two of the latest map "Altar."
