This is the Balto mod for Half-Life 2! For those of you who have never heard of Balto, (En.wikipedia.org)
The mod has been being developed by me for the past 3 months. I am beginning to recruit now. I expect the Balto mod to take about another 2/3 of a year due to several bottlenecks like menu music and soldier model replacement. (Why would there be humans in a balto mod) ;)
I am not sure if I will follow the story line (Balto 1 - 3 then post). However if I do it will invole balto being frozen sometime post Balto 3
(fell into a lake)
He is found and thawed 93 years later under the impression that he is dead. (being thawed for historical purposes)
A similar thing happens to steele. He ends up in the hands of terrorists. (much like the dogs of COD4)
I still haven't worked out how Balto ends up in the USMC.
Balto mod will probably be a co-op mod due to the many Balto characters, however I will try to add a single player mode where you choose a character and the rest operate as NPC's
THIS WILL NOT BE ANTHRO However human weapons will be modified for the purpose. Anthro
would be easier but I cant stand it.
There will proobably be a choice between 3rd person and first person in later releases but the first will probably only have first person.
The health system will be very differant from standard health systems. It will be based on blood. You can be hurt without bleeding, but anything down to a .22 will cause bleeding. Bleeding will not stop until a healthkit is found. The rate of bleeding is determined by a standard damage
I WILL KEEP THE DOGGIE GUNS
Balto- Steyr Aug a1 / Desert Eagle
Jenna- M4 / knife / healthkit/.44 Magnum
Aleu- M14/Glock 19c
Kodi- L96 (AWP) Sniper Rifle (yes long sniper missions and bullet physics) / silenced glock 18c (automatic)
Boris- AK-47/ spas 12
Polar bears are undecided ( if included one will propably carry a minigun)
A CHARACTER HAS BEEN ADDED AS OF 10/19/00
Tina- developed by Godzillawolf, although she does not appear in any of the Balto movies. Weapons are yet undecided, but she will fill my missing submachine gun.
I would like to hear what you think of the weapon choices and hear recommendations if you have any... Mostly for weapons for the bears. I settled on the .44 magnum for Jenna.
I changed boris's rifle to the AK at a recommendation. (boris is russian)

I wuv this mod! I will play it forever and a little more!
why thank you. It is amazing the incredible variety of responses....
rather odd to see a mod based on a dog who saves a girl from dying due to a shortage of medication, first time i saw the title i figured it would be related to racing against the clock singleplayer thing... not a DeathMatch ish mod lol
i have to admit though, it is on the odd end side of mods and thats what makes it stand out ^^
It will make more sense later.
Its kind of hard to explain the story on paper
...Eccentric, if you pull this off... I don't know what to think of right now.
you guys really should find a talented (experienced) mapper then
there are so many things wrong with the "wake up" map that i see, the textures aren't even aligned ...
i took care with the textures. can you tell me where there out of alignment?
is that a serious questions man?
the bottom of the texture should be at the bottem of the brush
really? thought it looked odd but couldnt seem to fix it so i decided that must be whats intended
none. All are 14+
14-19 actually
