This is Barsa-Kelmes. It was an island back when the sea was full, and was known as an area full of paranormal activity. The helicopter pilot actually has to drop you off on the seabed, because his compass was going haywire the further you got in.
As you can see, the 3D skybox really helps get the grand scope of things.
Some of the indoor areas.
Drew Watts has been hard at work on some weapons! First is the MP-412. As a heavy revolver is proves the opposite of the lightweight Makarov.
Next is the OTs-14 Groza. Famous with special forces troops, this weapon is one of the few that is able to puncture the Spetsnaz body armour.
This here is the AK74 with a Kobra sight. In the video below, you can actually chose whatever goes on your gun.
Moving away from weapons, texture artist Splinter has been skinning the UAZ-469 that Tycho made a few years ago (wow). It's just a base for the moment, flags and other details will be added later.
Second lastly, we have the MIG-29 jet. You have probably seen this before, but it wasn't included in a media release so this is here to show you if you missed it.
Now FINALLY in this update we have 2 videos!
This one here is a fairly old video of the bunker gameplay. Don't bother criticising it because it looks alot different to how it does now, but I figured I'd share it with you guys.

And next is the attachment system. With this, you can customize your gun to however you see fit. Obviously in the final it will have a better menu, and a HUUUUGE range of options.

We are looking for anyone who can help, it doesn't have to be a full commitment. Just make us a model or something ;)
Our priorities are though.
- Dialogue/Story Writer
- 3D modeller (UWV skills necessary)
- Voice actors with Eastern European accents.
ToTAL AWESOMENESS!!!1
and in fact, your mod is one the best mods iv ever seen! :D
Awesome Work.
Those pictures and vids look absolutely fantastic.
Weapon attachments seems to be working far better than anything I've ever seen or expected of the source engine.
And despite you saying not to bother commenting on first vid, I'll do so anyhow:
Looks like you've got some great gameplay elements there. The atmosphere added from the radio and sound effects are a fantastic touch.
You got me interested, big time.
Very sweet progress.
Nice textures!
Hmm I could make some voice acting. I'm from Poland so I think I could have the right accent. Sure its not like Russian but still, I think it could be pretty similar.
I could voice act. I have the best line ever and it starts like this:"Get out of here Stalker!"
Kick ***! the new maps look great!
That video is awesome, i was scared just watching it. The footsteps were very spooky.
Very nice! Cant wait to play.
Ironsights + no crosshair = win
That's REALLY REALLY AWESOME.
Is this another communist mod?
That bunker video is super freaky!
hey man, is this like MW2 gun customiazation? If so, could you send me like a tutorial on how to do something like that? talking about the script
The bunker video was bloody scary. Been playing the latest Stalker game recently so I'm still in the mood for some spooky Soviet action. Good luck finding the help you need :D
Metro 2033 anyone? Bunker gameplay video has nice creepy atmosphere and audios sounds good so far. Weapon customization is kinda rare in HL2 mods so BIG plus for that!
I'll definitely looking forward to play this mod.
that last news made me interested in this mod
tracking
This is coming along great. The attachment system is alot like Crysis', and the models for the new weps look great. As for the alpha bunker level, it was overall pretty good. The screams at the end were pretty creepy, and so was the radio (6-1-7?)
looking forward to it
but question. since there is a silencer, does the AI track down by sound as well, i.e Crysis like?
Is that a numbers station playing in the bunker?
Anyway, nice work. I look forward to seeing what else you do with the weapon customisation.
Awesome! Can't wait.
now all you have to do is make a cool menu and animations for attaching the attachments
Awesome looking Maps, Weapons and all round great looking update.
I could help as an voice actor with western european acent and recorded with professionall equipment
What's a western european accent?
If you want UI attachment options to follow their attachment area on the model like in crysis you could just use world->screenspace on that attachment to position the UI element in roughly the correct place on the screen.
I don't know the exact name of the world->screenspace function but it definitely exist, and I used it for some hudwork back in the day :)
looks amazing! i've been tracking this for a while and when i didn't see an update, i was a bit sceptical but you guys proved me wrong,i will put faith in this mod! :D
Ivan's secrets is there are aliens.
amazing awsome is what this seems to be made out of.
OMG this looks SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Good work!
