Western Revenge mod for

We at Western Revenge (WR) try to combine the very best of two worlds : the western world from the movies and the shooter world from the games.

We all know that the www (wild wild west) is a good setting for an action shooter. Who doesn't want to replay those magnificent shoot-outs from movies like "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". However, it hasn't done many times before. Offcourse there have been many western modifications for games (we're even not the only hl2 western mod), and perhaps a few full-worth western games, but none of them was a big success.

Most of all, that was because it wasn't possible, just like it wasn't possible to replay the huge combats from history until games like cossacks and the "total war"-series came up. But game development is constantly advancing, and now we're at the point that we can realisticly display a western mod.

With the hl2 technology, we can create nice western environments that give you a real western feeling. We can create a quite dynamic, typical western village with enough physics to even kick Eastwood's ass ;). Next to that, vehicles aren't a seldom gadget anymore and we think it's possible with the hl2 engine to take the next stap and add living transports, in our case: the horse!

Next to the opportunities that the new hl2 engine gives us, we're also trying to create a western game, not an oridinair shooter that has a wild west setup. As this is probably our largest quest and it will probably decide about the succes of our mod, we're putting a lof of work in it.
We try to accomplish this by using completely custom textures (no hl2/css/... textures), a new, but identifiable gamemode, original models and offcourse atmospheric sounds.

As we don't want a hype starting about the mod, we decided that we're not going to release any media anymore for some time (certainly until we've got a first decent build). So the current (and old) media doesn't give a correct view from the mod!
Also we won't speculate about a releasedate anymore, we don't want to fight against a public release date and possibly deliver a less-worth modification that nobody will play.

Greetings,

the western revenge team
