Survivor mod for Crysis

Essentially, Survivor started out as a "disaster sim", something to let you see what it'd be like to live in New York City if no one were left alive. Then I saw I Am Legend and realized it's basically the same thing, so I opened it up to the Crymod.com community, and it changed again. Then I read Brian Wood's DMZ, and it took its present form. New York is occupied territory, and you're smack dab in the middle of it. Work with the Insurgents of the Free America Coalition, or run missions for the Army that's occupied Manhattan - the choice is yours. Here's a typical "Day-in-the-life" of the Survivor player.

You wake up on a hard mattress in a Bed-Stuy apartment. You look around for something to eat, see the stash of power bars you snagged while you were doing some recon on Wall Street. You eat one, restoring your energy, and you snag your M4 from a weapons cache you've assembled over the past few weeks. On your cell, you receive an incoming text from Lao, your FAC contact in Chinatown. They want you to steal a consignment of arms from the National Guard base set up by Ground Zero. You think for a moment - it's bound to drop your reputation with the NGs, but it could open up some new travel routes for you with the FAC. So why not? You hop in a Yellow Cab you've restored and armored, and drive down with some of Lao's men. You take a potshot at some of the propaganda speakers, and the broadcasts stop, allowing you to enjoy your iPod. The NGs are initially relaxed as you approach, but pretty soon Lao's boys have let off a few rounds and your rep counts for fuck-all. The NGs give chase as you fly down Broadway doing 75. The National Guardsmen are catching up, but you're making 'em work for it. Lao's guys have let loose with their AKs, but it's no use - the NGs have called in a helicopter. Just in the nick of time, you pull into a side street on Delancey - good thing you and the FAC took back the area a couple days before. Your efforts pay off - as you slide through the gates they've erected, a masked guerilla launches an RPG right into the chopper, allowing you to make it to safety. A quick change of disguise, and you're free to make your way around the city at your leisure. You're starting to feel hungry again, so you head uptown to a vegan place your friend Angela runs. Since you MEDEVAC-ed her friend from a blaze in Washington Heights, she hasn't let you pay for a meal. Alright with you, though - could just as easily spend the money on some fresh kevlar purchased off the back of a National Guard truck, or a new apartment closer to civilization. Ready to relax, you decide to do some rooftop hunting. After taking shots at pigeons for a couple hours, you realize you should be heading home. You stop buy an FAC supply depot, where a friend gives you a ride back to the pad in Bed-Stuy, and tuck in for a night's sleep. Who knows what you'll be doing tomorrow?
