Off Limits: Off Limits will be a teambased multiplayer Half-Life² modification. The gameplay will revolve around two teams attempting to take out a small, agressive, playercontrolled alien. The vanguard team will start the round with the only gun that can harm the alien, the rogues team will see the alien's position on their radar. The team that kills the alien, wins the round. Story: It started out with a few sightings in unpopulated regions. The tabloids were the first to catch on and spoke of a new species, ridiculed by the scientific world. But as quick snapshots turned into irrefutable evidence, sightings increased, and some were even spotted in our largest cities, both science and the military got involved. Mankind's fear of the unknown soon led to conflicts. That’s when we found out: they were invulnerable. They were few, and they were unintelligent. But no weapons known to man at that time could harm them. They only attacked when in danger and were uncoordinated, but...

Just a quick update to announce that we are still at work! We did a small playtest again just now, and here are some screenshots of it. As you can see the alien and railgun are in the game and working mighty fine already. The alien view still needs work, but things are shaping up nicely. Stay tuned

I'd assume the rogues have to steal it from the Vanguard?

The Rogues will indeed have to steal the railgun, but the power-output disrupts their radar if they have it, so they can't see the alien.
The team that has the railgun can kill the alien, the team that doesn't can see the alien.

And this mod looks amazing, I can't wait untill it's released!

Looks better than most mods I've seen, and a hell of a lot more original. Can't wait.

C'mon - admit it. You didn't even see it was a knockoff! Only now, I have opened your eyes and you are trying to widen your argumentation, but fail so miserably.
What kinda brands should one invent without running into a comical attitude? I can't think of any serious brand name anyone can make up that doesn't need reference to some already existing brand to be put in context. Just inventing new brands will make people go "What the hell does this mean" and they will abandon the mod and die ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU!!!
Joking, of course. Don't take it so hard, I like to mess with strangers.

How will the rogues hurt the alien if the vanguard are the only guys who got the gun that hurts the alien?

Looks good, although I'm not all that keen on the advertising, try to make up some imaginary brands or corporations, might make the mod a bit cooler.

Lol - JCV is an imaginary brand, or nor? I only know JVC.

I always liked your mapping, this one looks very clean and polished by now. Something about the car in the third picture is wrong, however. It seems to hover and it casts an entirely square shadow, which looks more like a brick's than a car's. Good work on getting this far. Can't wait to play this and see how people get along with the element of coop play and snatching the railgun.

Looks great. I remember this as being one of my most anticipated mods back when I saw screenshots of the truck vehicle, with the passenger slots being in the back.

I have to say that the gameplay sounds quite bad though. :/ I don't see how seeing the location of the alien is even slightly comparable to being able to actually kill him. If neither team started with the railgun and instead had to go find it, I could understand.
