Lambda Wars (formerly Half-Life 2: Wars) brings the struggle between the human resistance and their Combine overlords to a multiplayer real-time strategy setting. The Lambda Wars beta only requires Alien Swarm installed to play. It features 3 multiplayer game modes: Sandbox, Annihilation and Overrun, showcasing the Rebels and Combine playable factions and a full-fledged RTS interface and HUD. There is also a singleplayer tutorial and a handful of singleplayer missions.
Vorts setting off fireworks to celebrate the painting of their Den with team color textures ;)
I have to be honest, the lightning bolts look a tad tacky, I personally have no clue how to spin a design for a vortigaunt den, but I'm not a huge fan of this one. Thanks for the work though.
Maybe something more xen-ey? IDK, maybe that's a tad difficult to make
This screen was made and lightning done by a first-person controlled Vort (Control Unit) in Sandbox gamemode. In game you'll be seeing the lightning bolts third-person as this is an RTS :) and with proper animations.
Maybe one day the model for Vort Den will be re-made if most of the devs want it totally different.
