About MechMod
MechMod is a total conversion of the Half-Life 2 engine and is based on Mecha or Mechs. We have already released a primary Alpha 1.0 version of the mod, which was based on mechs taken from the Gundam and Macross/Robotech series. Alpha 1.0 was a 'test' release which the team put together while waiting for Half-Life 2 to go public, and the Alpha is also considered as a stepping stone towards something much bigger.
MechMod stresses the importance of strategy, player reflexes, and teamplay all put together. Whether you want to play fast-paced and go on the offensive, or whether you want to take it easy and concentrate on building up your defenses - MechMod has all the options available for you. The player has the ability to pick from different classes of mechs and customize them to his/her needs and desires. The customization will not only affect the aesthetics of your mech, but also the feel and usage of it. You may support your team by building structures and turrets as a builder mech, you may find enemy locations or set traps as a scout mech, you may be an asset to the team as an assault mech, or you may go all out on the offensive with a heavy mech. MechMod has been developed to allow the player to take control and take the game in the direction that he/she wants to. The mod also offers different types of game play modes, to help cater to those who might not necessarily want to play strategically, and simply want to crush some metal!

MechMod on Half-Life 2 will be nothing like our HL1 Alpha, which was just a test mod created whilst waiting for HL2 to be released. The Outline for MechMod Beta (for Half-Life 2) can be found at the following link:

While our programmers have been having a ball going through the new SDK and fiddling with it to their heart's content, our modellers have been at work creating some new mech models for the Planetary Alliance (PA) Assault Class.

Keep watching the dev journals on our forums, we always release WIP screenshots and media in there ahead of releasing them on news.

the mod is 100% done, so where can i download it for HL2!?
Half life 2 has a much bigger map size XP also this mod is for hl2 but right now is beta for half life 1
I checked out the trailer (after finally figuring out that I needed to get that codec from the site). It looks damn impressive, but I can't help but ask if HL2 will be better for it. Didn't HL1 have a much larger maximum level size for mods? The arenas I saw in the trailer looked quite large, and pretty as well. Just seeing that trailer is making me consider acquiring HL1. I do hope though that the framerate was watered down in the trailer. If not, that's an unnacceptable framerate for gameplay.
and ripped off alot of stuff from esf aswell...
THEY R DEAD OH NOES!!1
u idiots, they were waiting for hl2 so they made a hl1 aplha. THIS MOD IS FOR HL2
stupid ignorant people the alpha is for hl1 but but once they go to beta its hl2
Damn we have been tricked im mad!:(
Yes this game is for HL1 ONLY
AHA! I checked out the forums on the official page. It IS for Half Life 1, not 2. Sucks for us who only have Half Life 2. Someone oughtta tell those fools running moddb that this mod is listed as having a public beta for Half Life2, when it's really Half Life 1
