I'll bet somebody 100 bucks that more than half of the people who chose "emergent" mods don't even know what the word means and only clicked it because they saw that the example given was DayZ.

Ultimately what matters are the opinions of the consumers, so I went with the "successful reviews" option. In reality though, "AAA title" pretty much literally translates into "big-budget game".

"AAA title" doesn't necessarily mean "good game", and vice versa. For example Minecraft is not and never was considered a AAA game but it's probably the most popular game in the world right now.

Shame that it needs episode 2 now, since I don't play on getting that. The early versions were fun though.

Watch the video interviewing the developer right here on this site. There should be a picture link on the top of your screen on this page.

You mean "Lovin' it"?

Is there any chance of getting an update including some of the Napalm Edition character models (just character models, not gameplay tweaks)? Because the dated models are the only downside to this.

Actually, if I remember correctly, there was a prototype option in the original Unreal Ed that allowed you to convert a brush you had made out of geometry into a model.

But I agree, the Unreal Ed method of level creation is still my favorite.

Yeah the source engine was/is pretty good, but it required precise and tedious optimization techniques to create anything beyond narrow indoor passageways (most, if not all, outdoor sections from the original game were actually just little passageways with skybox textures painted on and outdoor-esque models/textures thrown in, they were just very well-made. Props to the designers at Valve.)

With the CryENGINE, just about anything was do-able with minimum effort required.

With this much detail, the levels themselves must be pretty small. Wouldn't the team run into trouble with the engine's object limit otherwise?

This is so amazing it makes me want to give up mapping, lol

I can find my way to the bot spawn menu, but they just appear at spawn points and stand there. Is there a separate spawn menu? If so how do you reach it?

I wanted to try out the old 1.0 version but you guys removed it and all I can find on filefront is updates :(

Don't suppose you could re-upload the first version while you work on this new one?

How can you create such large scale open areas without immense lag?

Can't wait for the next update, it should be amazing since they've had so much time to improve since the trailer was released.

Aw, they're going commercial? I suppose they deserve it, it's a pretty sweet mod/game, but what's always given the original that extra ounce of awesome was that it was produced just for the love of it by a modding community, not commercially for the money.

I'll probably buy it anyway, but even if it's a better game, it will never be as special as the first, same as the new They Hunger.

I wouldn't say better that valve's, but they're looking pretty good. Don't take this the wrong way, but here's some constructive criticism...

Problems I saw;

*Idle animation...
Throw in a few of... anything, really. He just stands still the whole time.

*Walk animation...
The zombie's legs clip into one another.

*Attack animation (worst of them, in my opinion)...
The zombie looks like a gimp. The swipe doesn't look powerful at all, on the contrary it almost looks more like a slap. He needs a way more vicious and powerful looking attack animation. Also, his arm clips into his body.

Jeeze, this is absolutely amazing. If the gameplay is anywhere near the quality of the screenshots, you guys should consider going commercial; you sure as hell deserve it more than some of the other mods up there.

You guys should post some tutorials on how you get such realistic looking areas (especially the forest).

Also, does this mod use the Episode 2 engine?

I hope this breathes a little life back into Deus Ex, I miss the 20+ player multiplayer games on serves hacked to allow additional players :)

Definitely downloading, I'll make sure to shower you guys with compliments and singles once I play it :P

There are two common unbiased and accurate ways to view the military and supporting of your country's troops. The first is more narrow minded, but makes sense all the same and there's nothing wrong with it. The second is a more global and idealistic view, but which could likely never work out because of the sheer level of ignorance of the world's human populace.

1: We should support our troops because they protect us and our country.

2: If nobody anywhere supported their troops and everyone refused to join the military or to fight, there would be no wars at all and nobody would have any need for the military.

Personally I'm somewhere in between. I support the soldiers but wish I didn't need to, and hopefully when I'm old enough I'll be able to help do something about that.

Oh well then. As much as I would like to, there's no way in hell I'm buying two games plus all the others that come with the orange box, which I'll never play anyway, just to play this mod :(

Could someone post a pack of all the Half-Life: Source/Orange Box/Episode 2 content that is needed to run this mod?

You can still download and play the original Heart of Evil; this is just a port to source.

I don't know if there is in this mod, but I know it's pretty easy to make. Just make an npc with it's species tag set to 0 and he'll be an ally. I actually made a personal lever a while ago where you have to defend the center of a small island from tons of mutants with a squad of black-ops mercs XD that was fun.

I hope you add Strider support for the combine side, that would make me extremely happy! XD

But I don't have Orange Box :(

lol

Just one slight problem with the story. The main focus of Half-Life 2 was that the combine had put a suppression field around City 17 so that people were unable to breed. So technically he couldn't have possibly have gotten his wife pregnant unless the citadel had already been blown up, and from the sounds of it I'm pretty sure it hasn't been.

That little error aside, from what I hear in the comments it's a pretty good mod I might try it out if you can get that little trojan issue resolved :P

Ah, thank's Editor that will be very useful :D

Minuit, lol you didn't have to go through all the trouble to make that gargantuan list O_o lol. I know about the give command, but it's nigh impossible to create monsters in tight quarters using that technique, and you must noclip in order to spawn them, very inconvenient. Also they always face one direction and can only be spawned, like you said, in places where one or more of them already exist. The Impulse method is much quicker and more convenient, especially with allied monsters like the Mikeforce.

I have one more question too, I hope I'm not overloading you :P Is there any way to randomize grunts' starting weapons?

PS: I don't think I know anyone who will have played Heart of Evil and not watch this mod ^^

Sorry for the double post, but does anyone on here know how to make the 'Impulse 76' command spawn something other than grunts? It would be nice if I could make it spawn Charlie's ^^

I've been trying to figure out how to swap/get npc models from HoE for a while now, how did you replace the models?

The mod is looking great by the way, looks like an entirely different game!

It would be pretty sweet if sentinals could shot beams like the stalkers do :D

In future versions could you make friendly Master Chief and/or halo marine npcs plz? I've always wanted to be able to spawn halo monsters but there's no npc spawn cheat in halo. And it seems you've already got the ma5b in the game XD good work there.
