We are pleased to share with you the first (now second) public release of Modular Combat. From this point on, when we update the mod, you get to reap the benefits.
For those who not aware, Modular Combat is an action-RPG mod for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch! This mod puts you in the HEV Mark VI, designed to communicate with a BoSS computer. Kill other players to gain experience which will earn you levels and upgrade points. Use the upgrade points to buy modules, which will grant your hazard suit extra abilities. BoSS will remember your account information and up to three different suit configuration across each session on a server.

Seems great!! I'll download
It is great.
Aww, you're gonna make me cry!
I like this mod, nicely done, needs more servers...
Thanks...I'm working on getting some more servers, but it requires some special hosting needs that I'm not convinced can be met yet.
Hey, Ive got a problem. How do I install it?? Just copying the folder and the other 2 in SourceMods folder?
Modularcombatwiki.com
There's a full guide on how to install the game.
when i start it it crashes with some engine crash
It could be possible that you don't have Half-Life 2: Deathmatch installed or the Source SDK 2007: Orange Box.
restart steam, i did the same mistake first time also.
after reboot it work fine!
errr... won't people just buy all the modules and pwn everyone else?
If I'm not mistaken, you can play the "Players VS Monsters" mode to level up without fear of being "owned" by more evolved players. Then you can start upgrading and kick *** with the newfound confidence that emanates from your new abilities. =P
Hehehe. More and more modules.
Can't wait for more modules!
Don't worry, they're coming!
Wow this looks pretty impressive...I might look into this.
Thanks for checking it out!
Looks like an interesting mod, I'll have to download this and give it a crack
Hey, thanks for trying it :D. Sorry about your lag, I blame TF2 Free Weekend.
Looks awesome! I'll download this mod sometime tomorrow
Im sorry to say but i tried to like play that but there was only 1server who i was unlucky to crash 5 minutes after i joined and dident seen him again:| mod is great but we lack dedicated servers.
We're working on a fix for this crash. We'd appreciate any information you have about it. :)
sigh... no one ever says if its for death match or just hl2.
It requires both HL2 and HL2DM. We are a multiplayer mod!
hope you can get rid of the whole mods and stick to hl2 or hl2:dm or sdk
this would be perfect and it would boost the number of servers ;)
Hehe, it would be nice to have some content of our own, I agree...but I find a certain comfort in trying to fit into the Half-Life universe.
There was no one around for DM so I tried monster mode by myself and found that the levels were spartan with the same exact monsters painted red and they did no damage except for the poison headcrab.
so this is dm and singelplayer?? **** like first time thats happens.
It's not exactly a singleplayer game...but you can play in a server by yourself and still be entertained.
For the love of god, the vortigaunts really need their max range decreased. It's a ridiculous ratio of how far they shoot to how much damage they do.
We're keep an eye on this issue. We're lowering the base damage and seeing how that affects gameplay.
Im gonna suicide I DONT HAVE HALF LIFE 2 DEATHMATCH D:
Very fun mod! love the RPG aspect, can't wait to see what this mods future has in store for it.
