Nuclear Dawn is a modification for Valve’s Source engine that combines visceral and violent First Person Shooter action with fast-paced Real Time Strategy in the aftermath of an apocalyptic war. You can choose the mission or lead the attack as a commander, marshalling resources and deploying weapons and equipment for your team to use.
You can storm a building as an assault trooper, cling to the shadows and rely on your active camouflage as a stealth, or unleash terrible firepower from a powered suit of exo-armor. You have the responsibility and the power to decide the outcome of every engagement. If your opponents are lucky there will be enough of them left to bury.
Although we have been around for a long time, this mod is still in active development, and the development team is breaking its collective back on getting this mod to you as soon as possible. Stay tuned !

The reception of Nuclear Dawn went down extremely well, with 15,000 unique visitors and 500 beta signups in the *first hour* alone. The forum community is alive and kicking with a ton of activity from some pretty crazy people, so make sure you check them out.
This weekend we finished another alpha playtest that we'd had to put off due to the madness brought about by the site launch! During this alpha we had a few industry level designers partake, hopeful in the aim that we'd interest them into building a level within our alpha>beta development process. If any of you are curious on the gameplay factor of Nuclear Dawn, well everyone who took part in the alpha left with a big grin on their face.
I guess we're obligated to provide you all with some screenshots from the session, Well, here are some that I took, or rather the few ones I managed to take while not taking some severe punishment courtesy of the rest of the dev team. I’m beginning to think my fellow team members are holding a grudge against me.
It’s probably worth mentioning that the level seen here is something RobertB threw together in less than a week. Its sole purpose is to test another new map layout for a new game mode we've implemented to test the core features of the FPS gameplay.
We're still looking for an animator and another coder to join the ranks of the team to hasten the arrival of the projects beta stages so if you're interested email contact(at)nuclear-dawn.net

I can't believe DaveL could have done this. Photoshopping screenshots? Wow, I mean that is an ironic thing to do.
This DaveL is truly a nutface, telling me to delete all my negative reviews and give him great reviews, this guy is truly a cry baby. For goodness sake, you will get negative feedbacks whatever you go, seriously, DaveL, grow up, if you think you're a teen or something, then act like one.
ONLY TIME WILL TELL
I really hope ND will be released and i also hope it will look like the screenshots has shown us.JUST LOVED THE SCREENSHOTS BUT WHO KNOWS :S
Moaning forum flames are uncalled for, however photoshoped pictures are not helpful in any shape or form. If you are currently unable to do something or not finished something then dont show it. There is no shame in being honest about limitations.
Here's a quote from our response to these claims that Nuclear Dawn is vaporware:
Nuclear-dawn.net

"This is probably the least stupid thing Nuclear Dawn has done.
This isn't the first time they have faked screenshots though.
Some of their original media featured a big battle on a subway platform. What they obviously didn't show was that the subway platform was just a corner of an empty map. It was staged, and now I find it safe to say the combat going on was pre-posed.
On www.halflife2.net they bribed the head admin into deleting posts that criticised (not flamed) the mod.
DaveL has made vague threats and legal threats against tons of critics, including against people I know.
They have hired people to pretend to be fans, on forums across the internet.
In general, Nuclear Dawn has harassed and insulted countless people in the mod community for no good reason.
I wish they would just stop it."
WHAT THE FUCK!?
@BDNeon
Waaay too long, didn't read, hahaha.
Keep it up and good luck :) Awesome good looking media.
Mod looks great, but guys, relax.
To Madness: This isn't a very good place to get a debate. It's like going to China and smack talking their leadership through a megaphone in the middle of the capital building. Try and find neutral ground, or you won't get a balanced debate with reasonable people.
OMFG, MADNESS COMES FROM THE HIGHLY RESPECTABLE WORLD OF GMOD!
Wow, he MUST deserve our respect. Tell me Madness, which of Garry's sets of boots do you think tastes the best? God knows you lick them enough to be an authority on the matter. You're no different then those pathetic console fanboys using their warped logic to justify their wild claims of superiority. But, I suppose, as with all aspects of human interaction, scum like Madness here will continue to fester in the mod community. And Garry is a guy who SELLS his mod, who the hell gives a flying shit about his constant lying. At least Nuclear Dawn has the balls to maintain that spirit of modding, which is more then can be said of that sellout shitbag.
from what i've read in an article posted they are trying to start a closed beta from the looks of it in June. All they need si mappers to make more maps for the mod.
