Lambda Wars (formerly Half-Life 2: Wars) brings the struggle between the human resistance and their Combine overlords to a multiplayer real-time strategy setting. The Lambda Wars beta only requires Alien Swarm installed to play. It features 3 multiplayer game modes: Sandbox, Annihilation and Overrun, showcasing the Rebels and Combine playable factions and a full-fledged RTS interface and HUD. There is also a singleplayer tutorial and a handful of singleplayer missions.

Cool antlions dude.
Love the antlion wars!
(buried)
It sucks that no one plays this :(
Can never find any servers.
Clearly, because we did not release multiplayer yet. This stuff ain't ready yet.
somehow this reminds me of the Starcraft zerg rush
I thought Starcraft 2 when I saw this. Which means ITS GOOOOD.
and whitout the "buy the game three times to unlock the entire single-player"-********
so its beeeetteeeeer than just GOOOOOOD.
lol.
Glad to see you're still working on the mod.. Nice video. :)
they have been working alot and never have stopped, if it would be dead the main page would say something about why or how it died.
also, they have been recoding all the time since the old code, so its a whole new game. with lots of improvements!
Reminds me of the zurg in StarCraft 2 a bit. :D
awesome
..wow, that looks great! I think I can't wait for it
especially like the burrow feature.
I also hope to see the earthshaking towers as defensive towers later in the game
..keep on working!
well I don't like the fog of war being so close all the time. and why does the bodies disapear?
i think fog represents line of sight... and bodies disappear so it doesn't lag...
those (dev-ish) towers were quite OP, please say they aren't acually buildable whit out that little dev-tool you had there?
It's just a random dev video. They won't be buildable in this form. I simply made a small test turret :)
Pretty much nothing is final of what you see in the video.
Cool, but will you include an optimization option to simplify the animations or models for lower end computers?
Looks good, also remember this is most likely lagging because it's being recorded. There's no need to simplify animations any further.
you really like those spawn-a-million-antlions battles don't you sander? :P
Nice to see some progress again guys... keep up.
PROGRESS!! WOOT! I'ts been a while since the last post of HL2 Wars, and GREAT job guys, hopefully tho, it won't lag as much in the final build with huge battles. I know this is not yet optimized, and maybe a cheap GPU, I undertand you, I'm just saying that hopefully people will be able to run it without too much spec problems =)
Note: It's being recorded, therefore lag. I bet this runs perfectly smoothly without using recording software.
You guys should create some new units for each faction (especially antlions, if anything) it'd get kind of repetitive to use merely 3 different types of units the whole game.
The units isn't what makes the game mode fun. It's the objectives in the game mode that make it fun.
yay, an update.
cant wait.
just an idea/suggestion:
make some other noise when the antlions are fighting (the melee ones) so its a bit more interesting the the default noise.
this is looking fantastic!
Very nice!
Do the antion grubs represent how many antlions you can make at that hill?
The grubs are the resource in this game mode. A update will be posted soon with full details on how the game mode works.
Yay for antlion ambushs! =D
Deffinatly starting to look more extensive. keep up the good work!
Good job, this was worth the wait! But seriously, update more often please. I was dying for a while here. :D
LOL, the persons above got karma raped xD, this mod is really the stuff.
Awesome work
Keep it up.
It's been quite awhile since I've heard any updates on this mod :)
I can't wait for the new content :)
looks great
Video was an anticlimax for me :(
I mean, it was great to hear from you guys after such a long time, but I was really hoping for some news on the multiplayer beta and such :D
Maybe you will get some in a couple of hours? :P anyway the video pretty much shows what we are doing better then words.
News post is awaiting moddb authorization! You can see it on HL2wars.com right now.
sorry somehow i got this post here, twice ?
sorry somehow i got this post here, twice ? like the one above?
lag. Nice.
how do you start dev mode?
