HL2: Assault

Half-Life 2 mod |

On spawning into a map you can choose either Combine or Rebel forces. The server always auto balances teams and automatically switches you between each team on alternate rounds, so every player gets to play every map on every team, and teams are always as balanced as possible. The objective is fairly simple, there are 3 or more sections to each map, and the Rebel team must achieve a particular target as described by the commentary before the next area is unlocked, until eventually destroying the final target at the end of the map. Areas remain unlocked once opened, and the spawn points will move on. Combine forces are only equipped with the AR2, stunstick, smoke grenades and SLAMs as they have the easiest task. The rebels only have the crowbar, pistol and machine gun and smoke grenades. All players can view an objective map in the top righthand corner, which also shows player locations, team status, and the position of the next objective. The rebel targets can be destroyed by explosives...

I've released beta 7 :) What's new? Quite a bit actually. I've overhauled the weapon layouts, so now the Combine have SLAMs, and both teams have smoke grenades. I've also tweaked the strength of the AR2 and the SMG. I've added the ability to pick things up with the 'use'

I've released beta 7 :) What's new? Quite a bit actually. I've overhauled the weapon layouts, so now the Combine have SLAMs, and both teams have smoke grenades. I've also tweaked the strength of the AR2 and the SMG. I've added the ability to pick things up with the 'use' key. This was requested in playtesting, and improves fairness, as Combine lack a physcannon. All the maps have had an overhaul to improve spawn camping problems, and remove a few graphical glitches. The overview map has been tweaked to remove players names. Looking at another player now displays their name and team status. Objectives are now marked whether they need to be destroyed or 'used'. Lastly, as this is technically my birthday release, I've decided to celebrate with a hidden Easter egg. First person to post a screenshot of it in the forums wins a prize :P Downloads are available at www.hl2assault.com and ModDB. Enjoy :D

UPDATE: I'm running a test server at 82.152.42.231 if you can't find any up to date servers.
