I am still playing the game, and I am still looking forward for modability.
I see this engine is a total new stuff because whatever game its posible in real world, its also posible here. Its not only the dawn race games, but you can play any sport like billar. OR maybe you can play tetris by hand :D
I really like the open doors and the decorations. Looks like this engine and decorations can be adapted to a WW2 game. Think about Battlefield 1942 at Berlin map with a Source engine :D
The size of maps its interesting. The design can fake really enormeous maps but loading times sux. Maybe this engine will be get better has computers get more memory and faster drives, maybe its the hardware and not this engine that sux. Anyway future mods will have maps x4 big than actual hl1. *
I really like the squad gameplay. Playing with Ant Lions and all. Looks like "Starship Troopers" mods with this engine will be really fun. Havind destructibles fortress and bugs destroing everything,, hehehe.. fun mods.
Its time to make more Duke Nukem jokes because this engine able similar feel to Duke Nuke game. You can USE everything, maybe get drunk with wine. This "source" engine its perfect for a rpg based on "Fallout". A post-Apocalipsys game with thrash and weapons everywhere :D and water chips :D
Playing this game makes me remind Beyond Good and Evil, that jewel, the wome character its similar to that one, and the boat races remind me also the other game. But the HL2 game structure its very lineal, we the modders may build a central hub (a town) and able the player to explore other maps, return, learn, get better weapons... some "BGE" gameplay. I will finish soon the SP game, and I really like the level design, can be lovable a reason to revisit the same locations. *hint* *hint* *hint*
My Wishlist:
- a map with a mirror, I want to see Gordon Freeman face - a 1st person RTS with ant lions (red vs black ants) - a taxi game on sewers (odd?) - a "play with toys" map, to play and play phisics - drivable combine apcs - drivable combine waships?, etc.. - a mod to play has a headcrab :D, take over a base :D
The Valve artistic work its fantastic, now we, the modders, have to continue this. "Stand on the shoulders of giants", now more dificult and fun than ever!
* big enough for fliing stuff?.. maybe not.
