The Rising
Half-Life 2 mod | TBD
Synopsis
Just as mankind is on the brink of extinction from a deadly pandemic, Extraterrestrials establish contact and offer a "cure" (an organism from their home planet). Although the majority of the population is afflicted by the raging virus and have no other option, a small minority immune to the virus resist the organism. Due to Mans inability to coexist, a social division emerges masking the presence of this hostile organism.
Gameplay
Players can either choose to play as the Human Resistance and fight back the rising threat of the Necrotrophs, or wipe clean the dirty slate of humanity. With abilities like: picking up any melee weapon, radar (to coordinate attacks), Nightvision, and more, the Necrotrophs are very dangerous. While the Resistance may be outnumbered, with an inventory, ranged and melee weapons to choose from, and ironsights, the Resistance are also no slouch.

Latest News: Intro Trailer

In preparation for the MODDB awards, we’ve been gathering lots of new media ready for everybody to view. One of the things that I’ve always had difficulty was explaining the setting and back-story of the mod. Usually when I try to quickly formulate a synopsis on the spot, it makes the mod sound not very exciting. So because of this, the first round of media for The Rising is going to be an “Intro” trailer explaining what’s going on. I hope that once everybody knows what is happening story-wise, they’ll appreciate the upcoming media assets more.
Also, don't forget to vote for us. Remember during this voting period you can vote for as many mods as you want.

You put a sand lion thumper on a map and blew it up....
Mod? or HL2 beginners map?
No it's for a mod. And beginners map? This is pretty complicated entity system buddy.
Keep in mind that the thumper is just a placeholder. The final model will be most likely completely different. The video is just to demonstrate how one of their scenarios is completed: by attaching sufficient explosives to a structure to destroy it.
So the video was just a POC, right?
This reminds me of Pripyat... heh...when i went there i had so much fun it was pretty sad though but the only building i was allowed in was the hospital and a apartment building and that theme park
Am I seeing Stalker influences?
Either way, the mods looks very sexy. Keep up the good work. Hope to be shooting zombies... Cannibals... Infected... Whatever sometime soon.
lol but... the thing is that wal mart owns the universe
A "You are Legend" survival mode would be sweet, either co-op over LAN/Internet or SP would definitely be awesome. Also, where is the videos music from. So familiar....
This mod is wicked awesome lookin the only thing its missing is a Wal*Mart
So this will be like "I Am Legend" the movie. Kool i was looking at it befor i read the review and said it be nice if it was like that. Sujestion incase you didnt already think of it make a light and dark effect where when it turns dark "they appear" like on the movie if thats what your basing it on ofcorse. Best of luck looks good.
