This all seems oddly familiar.
It was... oh, 2006 that we came here with an almost complete sidescrolling mod for Half Life. It went on to be released a couple of months later and received quite a few awards like "Editor's Choice - Old School Mod" and received zero players.
Now it's 2008. We've got a sidescrolling mod that's got quite a bit of work done on it for Source. Here's to hoping it'll go on and win more awards and actually get some players. I mean, we actually have crosshairs now. Wishful thinking, I know.
What is Ragnarok Arena, you are probably pondering. Ragnarok Arena is a sidescrolling deathmatch game that takes realism and punts it down a flight of stairs. Play as your favorite characters from various games and beat the snot out of each other.
But enough of my blathering, I have screenshots to show you!
Now, what's the gist of this lovely little promotional news post? Recruitment, of course! Actually, all we're really looking for is a few mappers who would like try their hand at creating zed-scale-challenged maps.
Want more information? Well, that's silly of you. Of course, you can always catch the latest DevBlogs on RagnarokArena.com.

Pretty good idea, i came here 07 so i had no idea of any HL sidescrolling mods. Good luck with this one.
Maybe I can help ya with mapping.

Or steam. Account name is same as here.
I played ragnorak arena on LAN and with 5 friends online :\
If it had more maps it would have lasted longer but definatly a cool game :D
Might be hard to compete with UT2D (enginewise) but with Source I'm sure it will be as epcially unique as the HL1 version :D
Cool! I'm not saying we didn't have any players whatsoever - just that we didn't have a lot. Or many at all, for that matter.
As for UT2D, I think there's enough of a difference between the two mods to prevent any sort of competitive spirit cropping up. Can't have that now can we?
maybe ask about merging ideas and staff to make one totally wicked awesome game? just a thought.
Looks great! Think I've seen this mod around a few years back. I wish you best of luck with the production of this mod, it looks very promising.
I'd love to see some kind of Team Deathmatch though.

this news is not linked to a game
maybe next time there will be more than lame traceline weapons.
Don't try and sound lofty and knowledgeable, it only makes you sound like a douche.
