Shattered Society (SS) is a fun oriented Half-Life 2 modification set in the near future. People might recognize the SS gameplay. The reason for this, is that SS is some sort of sequel to the Half-Life 1 modification Desert Crisis. Realism definitely is not its main goal.

While one player might choose no armor, enhanced melee powers, and a sledge hammer as main weapon the next one possibly goes for a very heavy build consisting of heavy armory and weaponary. One important thing of these possibilities is that every player can make his own favourite character. Of course this doesn't mean that every build is good in the beginning....
