Situation Outbreak is an Orange Box mod about the impending zombie apocalypse. Armed with nothing but a 9mm and a pair of brass knuckles, you must do whatever it takes to survive against the thousands of zombies that used to be your friends and neighbors. The cost of failure is nothing less than your free will. There are no heroes. No single person can save the world and there are not enough bullets to go around. The only thing left to do is to kill the damned, hoping that you don’t end up like them.

A detailed description of our latest creation for v1.52: the boss system. The new semi-automatic shotgun is also featured.

Looks pretty lame
If you aren't willing to be more specific, I'm going to write off that comment as spam.

I mean. Ooh I floating poo cloud.
Why so ******* serious?

It's not my fault it sucks.
Grow up and say something constructive.
There is nothing wrong with the idea, but implementing it with a large particle cloud is not very creative and not good performance wise. Many people who play Source mods are using older computers and Source doesn't handle particles so great. The overdraw while using them can be pain to optimize as well. That's the main culprit.
Don't bash me for having an opinion and lapping up everything a bunch of hobbiests whip up. I respect you guys for what you do, but again not the greatest thing the world has ever seen in this video. It's just lazy game design.
Mate, this thing barely impact's one FPS at all. We ran our tests and they shows a minor decrease of an average of 1-2FPS, so your claim is completely invalid. I can see where you're coming from, but have some faith in the Source engine and in us, won't you?
i like how he gives three totally, utterly, ******* troll like comments then switches on his brain for the last one(i was quite surprised)
i mean really wth was that your brother or friend or something?
OH DEAR GOD DUSTUN AND JOSH U2UBER HAVE SLIPPED THEIR WAY ONTO MODDB, TO FAIL AT FLAMING!
since you are the most unconstructive critic in moddb i have seen, i guess your only going to listen to unconstructisism.
you are a ****** prick. just shut the hell up and leave moddb. if all you have is your childish whining about something as simple as an optional boss, then we dont want you here. go jump in front of a speeding bus, and make sure you dont mess up the grill, or your life would finally be worth something: the cost to fix that grill.
excuse me everyone. i understand if this gets negatives for being as bad as he is.
Ahaha, freakin' epic!
Interesting... It looks super tough though. Is it easier to kill with more people? Or is it still really tough.
It's hard...easier with more people, but it's meant to be really tough. Most maps just weren't enough of a challenge for people. This boss system is sure to change that.
interesting, cant wait to see what else you will make
yea kid of lame... the boss thing is a good idea.. but seriously.. a black cloud??? maybe like a giant zombie or sumthing
More bosses will be developed as time goes on. The cloud was a great idea suggested to us and we used it. A giant zombie isn't out of the question for the future, but we figured that people would complain about it looking like L4D's tank.
I personally like the black cloud boss,not something you see on many games/mods as a boss,very original=P
shotgun looks godlike :D
=D thanks ... ignore the texture misalignment on the top. I've since fixed that.
Glad you like it bro :)
Yay! My level! And the awesome shotgun! :D
man that going to freak me out when it spawns lol
Yeah, it makes a really freaky noise when it teleports. It also shakes your screen and turns it red for a couple of seconds. None of this is featured in the video of course, so you're just going to have to experience it for yourself this weekend. =P
this mod keeps getting better and better! nice job!
I might suggest changing the middle color to something else, but otherwise that looks amazing! i hope you get a pile of cash for killing this!
You do. The new points system in v1.52 rewards you with points per hit instead of points per kill like in v1.51. =D ... I'll look into the color change as well.
i dont know why people think its lame like id be scared shitles if that thing was coming after me
So would I lol.
cool
pretty awesome if you ask me.
oh this mod is so awesome that should be released as a full game
lol was giving you a karma + but gave you a - on accident :/
sorry about that
but thanks for your support :D
dont worry i made up for it
OMG! On the release with the new models and all that stuffs it will be EPIC!
well, gotta wait for 1.52 cant wait :D hope the exe will work me though :P god i want to play this mod so much but i cant find where the exe installed its files XD
Try searching your entire computer for a folder named "so".
pretty nice! The new shotgun looks really cool to
Looks awesome. Gonna make any more bosses?
Dont worry, this is just the beginning
Yup. We'll continue to develop more as the mod continues.
i didn't have high expectations n believs in this mod, but this video surely made me more than just interested! :D good job!
Looks a challenging change from zombies. The fact it can teleport will surprise anyone hoping it will just fly at you down a corridor and the added lighting effect which makes the environment around it look darker is cool. I would like to see that cloud go against more people just to see how it would react.
very strange concept.we leave the concept of zombie. it maybe not bad idea (I do not know) can add the monster Stephen King. (ur monster is like a monster in stephen king)
choice: or you keep the concept zombie or you go in other idea for a universe different!

the concept of boss is really funny (like the old games)
sorry delete of stephen king and replace by lovecraft (i am tired today)
hmm, is this a clever way of building in somekind of, how the apocalypse happened stuff into the game ( AKA a cult did it >:D )
i hope this game gets hosted on steam some day.
coz at the mo its like the definitive Z-game
This looks pretty cool , but it would be a bit better if depending on its health it would spawn zombies from it insides, like when its at full health it doesnt spawn anything , half health it spawns a few zombies and when almost dead it spam the **** out of them.
Pretty cool, but are you sure that isn't, too strong?
We want it to be strong. I've had enough of people's complaining that some maps are too easy. This is sure to level the playing field. ^_^
Reminds me of Lost. :)
Aye, I'm a fan. I can't say I wasn't inspired. =)
