No More Room in Hell the long awaited Source zombie modification.
In addition to the improvements on the player models, our team has been revamping the look and feel of our National Guard NPCs (inquisitive fans managed to figure out how to spawn an old prototype version of them in our past public releases), which will be included in one of our future patches.
Looks great. Now are they npc or player models
NPCs. They chose to not make them playermodels a long time ago.
evil or good ?
Both, depends on the situation and if you're lucky or not. :)
Nice! I like the idea of trying to evade the army at all costs, whilst trying to survive against the horde.
The could be either you never know army could have orders to shoot any one or thing or shoot first ask later in affect
both they said on steam they might see u as a zombie or human
I wish I could play as a National Guard model. :/ Would bee coolio.
Please refer to my rant about 3/5 down the page.
U still mad?
Now makes us wonder how exactly these will work...
"GET BACK OR WE WILL FIRE ON YOU!"
(buried)
*zombie walks up*
"GET BACK OR WE WILL FIRE ON YOU!"
*gangnam style come on*
"What the... PSY?"
*zombie does Gangnam Style dance*
"DANCE OR I WILL FIRE ON YOU SQUAD!"
"uhhhhhh, okay"
Stop tell **** or we fire on you.
Epic failure of a joke ^^
Soldier npcs? wow, only mp zombie game/mod ive heard of doing that was Brainbread. This is gonna be awesome
Their presence should definitely enhance the atmosphere and liveliness of the game.
what color are the face masks gonna be on the soldiers? yellow or white?
They'll be friendly NPCs right? I hope someone might make a Nat Guard playermodel based on this. Also, I like that you also went with them sometimes having dust masks. If I didn't have a gas mask I totally would get one of those. Even if it is probably mostly useless
Hehe. Dustmasks are much cooler than they should be for what they actually do. Whenever I wear one I always feel like I'm Sub-Zero or Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
let's hope they don't have friendly fire =D if they are friendly
The gasmask model reminds me of the soldier from 28 Days later. Good job.
Games have taught me that people with gas masks will shoot you, I'm guessing so with this.
They will be like a less aggressive version of the USMC probably.
Won't attack unless you are asking for it.
thats what they said on their site national guard aren't FRIENDLY but they probs wont shoot while USMC will kill anyone
mabe darell.
It would be cool if you could have them as playermodels as well.
I have an idea for a National Guard-based player model.
Great work, keep it coming.
For the next wave of people who are about to comment "Can we have these guys as player models?!?!":
No, they're [very very very likely] not going to make these guys player models and there's no convincing the team otherwise.
You can't throw in one "cool character" into a game because then nobody will play as the other characters; the other characters that the team has put a lot of time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears into making so that people would actually play as them.
Think about it.
It's not even that; it just wouldn't fit the whole atmosphere of the game, or the interactions with the National Guard NPCs.
Sometimes a decision to NOT put something into a game is as important as a decision to add something.
Indeed
They could make it so they are deserters and the only way to get them would to be a hard objective map where you escape a base while it is being attacked thus adding a backstory for the model, even enhancing the mood with the fact that the army is having trouble and would explain the interactions with national guard npcs
They are actualy thinking about using soldiers as player models as stated in the beta 1 screen
Who cares what your playermodel looks like as long as you can smash some zombieheads :D Awesome model though.
TOO MANY DAMN WEEKEND SOLDIERS, CJ!
TOO MANY DAMN WEEKEND SOLDIERS,**RYDER** ^^
I hope that National Guard NPCs will be friendly or enemy according to the situation.
It would be cool if in some maps they would tell you to stay back and stay still, and become enemies if you don't comply.
Or, they allow the survivors to get on the rescue helicopter, but they perform a test to determine if any of the survivors is infected. Now suppose that you have been bitten and you are about to join the undead, they are performing the test on you, you are about to get caught, you know you will get killed, what do you do? Shoot the Guard and put your friends in danger? Or will you give up hope and just let them end your life?
I feel the guard has the potential to create some really tense moments.
is this national gaurd npc in the game yet, im downloading right now and i was also wondering is it multi only
The mod is mulitplayer only, with co-op gameplay up to 8 players per server. The national guard isn't in the game yet, but if I took a wild guess I'd say they will be added in version 1.7 (current is 1.6) since they said it will be "the biggest update yet".
I think National Guard soldiers should be enemies. Like a 3rd faction in the game. That would certainly spice up some new scenarios.
Huehuehue. This guy. You meant "POSSIBILY, frienly or hostile."
Nice bakes! I love it when people show proper bakes and not only highpoly models.
I'm waiting for the National Guard. I guess it would be cool if there are "if - then" scenarios, where the NG either turns to help you or against you, depending on how you played until then.
lol bakes? Curious choice of words.....but nonetheless half life has always and will always be an impressive title and mods are a welcome addition. With half-life 3 on the way as well it helps to get a bit of hype in line!
It would be pretty awesome tho if some maps you WERE the national guard surviving the horde.... but I will take them being npc's just fine xD
could you tell me how to spawn them it would be nice? :P
In the game on some maps, there should be areas with pretty good guns in it, but it's surrounded in a mist thing that infects you if you don't pick up a gas mask from one of the guys.
They should add new mission types (nmo = objective, nms = survival) So you are national guard rescuing your teammates that aren't guard. Or national guard rescuing bots. Lol, OR like what The_Blazer said they do all that stuff. I have high expectations for the national gaurd. BUT I KNOW SOME WILL BE ENEMIES AS STEAM ACHIEVEMENT SAYS:
Kill any enemy (Zombie or National Guard) from 125+ feet with the bow
