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.

Description
Shows the updated fog of war. The new fog of war takes height differences and (static) obstacles into account.
lol, "We expected this."
Nice work though, looks really smooth and realistic.
I love this kind of fog of war, showing us your unit's field of view really well.
This is awesome! But I wonder what happen if enemy will stand on the hill and try to ambush us. Will we see him if he will be really close to the edge?
Good point, right now you won't be able to see the enemy. But this could be improved of course (if needed).
I think if an enemy's firing at you, it should be like out it is in SC2. That unit won't be attackable unless you spot him first but you will see him for a few seconds as he keeps attacking along the ridge.
Briefly put: your units are alerted to what's firing at them, but they cannot attack. This could be just one system of doing it though.
To be correct, that first appeared in SC1.
Implying he said it first appeared in Starcraft 2
ambushes arent supposed to be seen though, so maybe thats ok? =P
great job, but wow i just realized that he sounds a lot like Gerak from stargate sg1
Great job! I found one mistake, but, besides that, it's awesome.
ha, right now I think this is my favorite active mod.
keep up the good ****, sander.
Cool
"Dalalan!"
"Luuuuung"
Hilarious unit responses!
Hey, will the unseen be black and turn to that semi translucent style once its been explored?
