Samurai Legends is a Half-Life 2 multiplayer mod like no other. Gone is the FPS framework of HL2 and in its place is a third-person, team based, tactical action game.

Samurai Legends is a multiplayer action game for Half-Life2 that uses a combat system familiar to players of many online MMO games. Players may choose from three character classes and then upgrade their weapons, armor, and abilities by earning honor on the battlefield. Honor is earned by killing enemy players and completing objectives and is spent between rounds in a menu system similar to Counter-Strike. Top players are recognized by a “leader flag” that attaches to their back, and these leaders then provide a healing bonus to near-by players to encourage group game-play. In addition, the monk class may seek out the “resurrection shrine” found on each map to resurrect fallen comrades.

Key Game-Play features:

* Round-based combat. Weapons and armor are purchased between rounds.
* Over 30 unique weapons and armor sets.
* Armor purchased shows up on the character model.
* Clickable ability icons and mouse-driven selection cursor.
* Leader system encourages and rewards team-play.
* Resurrection Shrine brings fallen comrades back to life.
* Spell particle effects.
* Diverse settings and combat locations.
* Style selection effects character ability cool-downs.
* Mythic Asian setting and characters.
* 3 unique game-types (warlord, assassination, and take-and-hold).

The Samurai Legends Q/A is up and ready for anyone to read. From the screenshots to the videos and the exclusive information this mod will be a much needed mod to bring Half-Life2 to more and more computers for those who still do not own Half-Life2.

Samurai Legends Q/A explains it all and I for one can't wait to play this mod!

Quote:modDB.com: What was the inspiration for The Samurai Legends mod?

We wanted to make a game familiar to MMO players that like to go on "raids" or organized group PVP battles. Players that would like to experience this kind of gameplay but who want to skip the hundreds of hours of leveling up to get there can play our mod and get a good taste of what it's like. Our first release offers three player classes with a full suite of special powers per class. Since this was made on the HL2 engine, we used elements from Counter-Strike like the round-based combat, buyable weapons, and mission objectives to keep elements of leveling up without going through the "grind" that you see in other MMO type games. The game-play was designed to give players coming in on round 8 a fair chance at beating someone that has been there from the start of the match.

That is also one of the subjects of the meeting tomorrow is to develop our plan for continuing support of the game into the future, after initial release.

Our hope and intention is to continue to develop and refine the mod in the future, much like CS, DOD, etc.
