[page=RIGGED Interview]
Velocity`: Hello there Some1_Call_911. This is Velocity` here to ask you a few simple questions for moddb.com - If you would be so kind to answer in complete sentence, I'd appreciate it!
Velocity`: So, lets get started.
Some1_Call_911: Cool
Velocity`: Would you mind introducing yourself to those who don't know you?
Some1_Call_911: Well, I've been into level designing since Doom and Starcraft and have been playing Half-Life for over 2 years now. I work at ActionRealm create maps for mods like Counter-Strike and DoD
Velocity`: Cool. What are some of the mods you've created?
Some1_Call_911: So far I haven't successfully completed any mods for Half-Life but I have been a lead designer for HL Gladiator (dead now) and worked for Fury Of Cell, Grenade Wars, and other dead mods alike! Rigged is my most recent mod that I own and it hasn't died (and hopefully won't)
Velocity`: Awesome, seems your a well-known moderator. Anyway, what is Rigged about?
Some1_Call_911: Rigged is a singleplayer Half-Life modification that takes Half-Life veterans to a few months after the Black Mesa disaster in the perspective of a Black-Ops agent. Your captured and have to escape but unfortunately there are a lot of familiar aliens and enemies
you'll have to deal with along with puzzles and some friendly Agents to help you escape alive.
Velocity`: Sounds interesting. When do you plan on it being released?
Some1_Call_911: Hopefully we should see this mod out in the community around Quarter 2 - Quarter 3 2003
Velocity`: Nice. What are some of the gameplay modes for Rigged?
Some1_Call_911: Well, since it's singleplayer and there will be no multiplayer there will be no gameplay modes for the mod. You'll just have to follow mission objectives and escape.
Velocity`: I figured that by the way you described it, but figured maybe you had some. Anyways, what encouraged you to create Rigged?
Some1_Call_911: I was always a sucker for singleplayer expansion-packs and mods for any game. In Half-Life I have most singleplayer mods and expansion packs and none had you in the perspective of a Black-ops agent so I decided to give Half-Life players a chance to wear black and kick-ass.
Velocity`: Heh, what a 'kick-ass' idea. Is there any other comments you would like to say?
Some1_Call_911: I'd just like to say that to keep checking up on Rigged.actionrealm.com and expect more updates until the release.
Velocity`: Okay, sure will. Thanks for your time!
Some1_Call_911: No problem. Thanks.
Kind of a generic interview...doesn't go into much detail. It does do an OK job at giving us an idea of RIGGED, though.
i did what i could, didnt ask the questions your thinking of because i knew what he would say... it wouldnt make sense, trust me...
well, cmon fellas, dont be shy - share your comments =) its my first one besides the ttr interview(which is included with intense's feature First MOTM)
Yeh i think u did a good job...i'm just eager for this mod to hurry up and get released...coz it sounds awesome and i just love black-ops!
Yeh good work on the interview, mate....
thx
Rigged seems to be labelled with a giant 'MORE OF THE SAME' sticker...I feel the MOD community will have to wait before a quality HL mod featuring the famed Black Ops. From the screenshots ive seen the mapping looks quite pedestrian. I hope the developers have kept the best parts of the MOD under wraps cos it sure doesnt look too good. The world does not need more grey-flavoured mods, especially with HL2 just around the corner.
rant over. sorry
On a completely unreleated note however..... you may be suprised by a little teaser video that shud b popping up on fileplanet and other related dl sites.....it's currently being shot, but I think it will b worth the wait, and make u think of Rigged in a very different way.
