Vendetta Source is set in the 17th Century with Pirates, Ships, Guns and lots of lovely loot!
The game is set in the 17th Century and runs on a class based system, the gameplay modes will be based around teamplay where there is a common objective, the thing that makes Vendetta Source fun is the environment, weaponry, skills and objectives.
The scenarios in which the gameplay will take place vary on the gamestyle and location, perhaps you will be defending your port from invading pirates in England or maybe you're sailing across the pacific to sunny islands and pacific seas.
The battles within Vendetta Source will not be the sort of 'fast paced fragging' some gamers are used to, you won't have a lot of shots so strategy, teamplay and precision will be very important. The guns in the 17th century have slower reload speeds than modern day weapons, and unless you're weilding two pistols, you can only fire one shot at a time! Rest assured you can always count on that handy cutlass to spill the blood of your enemies up close and personal.
Like most traditional class based mods there will be variation of weapons and traits, you'll have your light fast classes who are capable of light but repetative damage and your big guys who are vunerable but powerful. The game will try to be as balanced as possible whilst trying to introduce some unique features which don't spoil the gameplay.
Each team contains 6 classes, there are:
- Buccaneer / Officer
- Sparrow / Marksman
- SwashBuckler / Rifleman
- Plunderer / Infantry
- Freebooter / Lieutenant
- Cut Throat / Scout
There are also 17 new weapons in the first release and new gameplay modes.
Website coming soon.
The mod died because the team were concerned that I was going to university, as a result, the team eventually disbanded and the mod died a premature death.
During the time I studied at university, I eventually dropped out within my first year and persued a career in web development. In my spare time I played around with things like the Irrlicht Game Engine and C++ not to mention PHP, Ruby on Rails and other programming languages.
I enjoy games, I enjoy gaming and I work on successful web-projects all the time. I am now tired of the web and want to move into games for good, this was always my original ambition - to be a games programmer.
I am going to be persuing a career as a games programmer and I will be going back to university but trust me, university is not as bad as people may think and if I am doing games development - Vendetta Source will be the perfect hobby to compliment my studies.
I still need to prepare some things, setup another website, get some plans together - I will be keeping the class based system and such as they were intended but I believe the gameplay is too ambitious and needs to be toned down initially until more can be done to appeal to the gamers.
Watch out for updates, I'll keep you posted.
p.s. I'll be going at this solo for now until I require help and find the perfect candidates to assist me.
Vendetta Source will be hosting a Public Meeting in our IRC channel on Friday the 1st of September, at 21:00 GMT (9pm GMT 0) The meeting will take place...

Awe what happened to this mod wtf
This comment is currently awaiting admin approval, join now to view.
thats cool
The mod did die yes, mainly because the team were concerned that when I was going to university the mod would die ... so the team decided to disband!
It's almost 3 years on, I have had tons of programming experience with my career and I think I will restart this project.
I'm restarting it mainly because I need something to put on my CV when I am finally ready to start applying to work as a game programmer. There will be some changes though, the gameplay mainly.
Look out for updates.
good news, how will the gameplay change?
The gameplay will essentialy be the same although the gameplay modes which included boats and sailing the seas may change.
I am still trying to plan this, the HL2 engine doesn't really support the ideas very well, so I want to do something which works with the HL2 Engine and works with you guys in terms of fun.
YO DIS MOD IS ****** DEAD
yes
I'm pretty sure this mod is dead
Thanks man, we'll keep you updated.
