The Third Man mod for Half-Life 2

The Third Man is a multiplayer mod based on the famous movie by Kinji Fukasaku, "Battle Royale".

"Battle Royale" movie summary :

In the beginning of the Twentieth-First Century, the economy of Japan is near a total collapse, with high rates of unemployment and students boycotting their classes. The government approves the Battle Royale Act, where one class is randomly selected and the students are sent to an island wearing necklaces with few supplies and one weapon. After three days, they have to kill each other and the survival wins his or her own life as a prize. The forty-two students of a ninth grade class are selected to participate in the survival game and abducted in their bus. Under the command of their former teacher Kitano, they have to eliminate each other following the rules of the sadistic game where only one wins.

But if you really want to enjoy this fantastic movie, watch it.

Features:

• Classic Music heard in the movie


• Maps based on the buildings from the movie

All the news :

• Media Release 1 (Feb 19, 2008)

2 news screenshots for The Third Man, one showing the Katana Model and the other the Uniform that will be available for all the player in the mod, but maybe I'll add a Kiriyama, Kawada and Kitano skin...

Anyway, these two images aren't definitive, I need to find a higher quality picture for the Katana and I'll add normal map on the Uniform skin, but I'll post a news about that when it will be done, so enjoy ! :)
