As most of you likely know, Matt and Winston (the main developers for Modular Combat) have become much too busy to continue development. Archer and I didn't want to see the mod die, so we asked if we could take over development for a while. They agreed, so here we are.
And as most of you are aware, Modular Combat is an action-RPG mod for Half-Life 2: Deathmatch. This mod puts you in the HEV Mark VI, designed to communicate with the BoSS super computer. Kill other players to gain experience which will earn you levels and upgrade points. Use the upgrade points to buy modules, which will grant your hazard suit extra abilities. BoSS will remember your account information and save your suit configurations on a server.
Now, to the important parts.
1. Recharge is coming back.
2. New content is being made (by us).
3. New and old modules will be included.
4. We have new (temporary) forums.
And finally,
5. We're going to do our best to listen to what you want.
There isn't much else to say here other than to refer you to the new eye candy uploaded to the galleries (and don't worry, we haven't put all our cards on the table yet).
Hope to see you on the servers!
F - YEAH!
I'll be back, gotta change my pants.
(buried)
Meh.
Just stop following, you're like this with everything :/
not true
Glad i was about to take a shower before i saw this.
Right. It's settled then. I'm buying the Valve complete pack on my new account.
1. and 3. are what i want ^^
Well, 5. too... And 2...
Woo! Hopefully this will add more players to the servers, sometimes they can be a bit empty.
I just hope it was back to the way it was when it was really fun killing others with your massive modules and regens.
Oh cool! ill have to download this again :D
Some of the greatest news ever for ModCom.
Wondering what old and new content there will be.
Also having a forum is great, was really looking for a new one.
Will I be able to use the gravity gun to pick up my mirvs again?
Ah well... :'(
Will there ever be a linux server? Most srcds servers/server hosts use linux and making a linux binary would likely get more servers. In my case, i was going to host the (only) public server, but cant since there's no linux version.
Well until you get a linux build out, i put up a tiny 8 slot windows server. It should give people a chance to play this great mod.
I'd actually like for there to be a module where you'd do a crowbar lunge, as if you had commando like in MW2.
When Will it be out for the public?
Everyone wants recharge.
Well, hell, what for?
No energy management means everyone is constantly running around cloaked or flying through the air, and it's a must have module that practically EVERYONE will want.
Current version, and no, I don't expect it to ever get updated again, allows to constantly speedjump through the level without ever running out of energy.
While being powerful and invisible is nice, I don't think it'll be any special when everyone is. Or no one, who's still playing this? Hard to find anyone.
Edit: AND the forums are gone again.
