Science and Industry 2 is a teamplay modification for Half-Life 2. It is the sequel to the long-running Half-Life modification Science and Industry. Players take on the role of Security Officer in a bitter struggle between two rival corporations in the world of defence technology research.

It is the job of Security Officers to acquire and protect the company's most valuable resources - the scientists, which develop technologies for the company, and the technologies themselves. Since it is the technologies and scientists which generate the income for your company, which in turn keeps the company at the leading edge of the business world, these resources are vital to success.

However, the company isn't content with just having its own scientists and technologies - the opposition also has plenty of scientists working for them. Stealing scientists from the opposition is a great way to increase productivity, and keep those new technologies coming thick and fast.

Of course, the opposition has the same idea, so defending the company's existing resources is as important as "recruiting" new ones. Of course, the intricate threads of the universe are difficult to untangle when standing in the middle of a firefight, so for maximum productivity, keep the combat out of the laboratory areas as much as possible.

Features:

  • Success is centered around profit, rather than points - the company with the most advanced technology and the largest profit wins.
  • Stunning and interactive world - utilising the power of the Half-Life 2 engine the Science and Industry universe is brought to life like never before.
  • Dynamic game balance - each round begins with basic weapons only, with each team developing new weapons, armour and enhancements as the game progresses.
  • Player-selected advancements - the next technology researched by the company's science team is determined by a company-wide vote, allowing players to directly affect the progression of technology for their team.
  • Diverse teams - the differences between the two corporations involved in the game are emphasised considerably, with drastically different visual styles for each team.

I'm pleased to announce the first major media release for Science and Industry 2. After a long hiatus due to various real-life commitments for the development team, work has resumed at pace over the past few months. The internal SI2 development build is taking substantial form, and has reached the point where we can display the work that has taken
place thusfar.

The full content of our release can be found at our website, where we have a number of pieces of promotional artwork created by our extremely capable art team, along with various concepts for some of the weapons that will be making appearances in the game, and some in-game screenshots from out development build. A small sample of the media can be found below:

Rocket PistolMCL Bionics
AFD BionicsInternal Alpha

We would also like to take this opportunity to announce that we are recruiting new members for our development team, including mappers, modellers, animators, skinners and texture artists. Full details can be found at our website, along with information on how to apply.

The concept sounds great but the released version feels like an alpha.
You guy's know what work has to be done but I don't know why you guy's would release it now?
I'll try the next version, hope it's a lot better than what it is now.
Good luck!
