I was sitting at the end of my exam today and this idea came across my head. Why dont we snarkpitters make our own mod, and i dont just mean a few maps for HL2. You see we have loads of mappers, plenty of modelers, enough 2d artists and i think we have a few coders. I havent got any ideas for a mod but we could throw a few ideas around as for a theme etc. If a few good ideas come up, with proberly will happen, we could set up a poll as to what theme we will go with.

Ive set up a poll just to see if anyone will actually think about joining the mod if it happened. Also if it was to go through we would have to choose a reliable project manager as i fell i could not handle it myself.

So the question for the poll:
Would you enter the mod and if so what possition would you take?
Due to the limited number of poll options i have combined some of the options.

the same general idea has been kicking around in my head for a while now, and no doubt has occured to more than a few other regulars. a full mod would be cool, but maybe a little too ambitious as a starting point.

i'd say that using our various strengths to focus on making a map [or set of maps] for an existing mod would give a much better return for the effort put in.

I would only be good for mapping, but I think this is a great idea. But preferably after the contest.

Well have to see if any coders wish to join otherwise it proberly will be just a set of maps for a mod.

As for my idea i watched the Aliens vs predator film earlier and thought that a game with a similar theme would be quite fun, where the aliens start of as a hatchling and they have to hunt down a marine and attatch themself to it. Once this happens the marine dies giving birth to the real alien which can then go around hunting the rest of the marines and to kill them they have to destrol their base/spawn point.

The marines just have to hunt the aliens down and kill the queen alien(was that what it was called?) so it cannot make any eggs. They could possibly get upgrades from amount of kills and the aliens can walk on walls, jump really high, are very powerful and could possibly eat the marines to regain health.

I do believe there was an Aliens vs Predator game but it didnt have some of these features. Thats my best idea but i expect there will be some better ideas from other members.

we could all add an idea for a feature that we want to see, and throw it all at whoever offers themselves up as the sacrificial coder.

natus wants a mobile strider cannon, and i want conc grenades, a la tfc.

Yeah, my ideas abit big for a mostly mapping community based mod, I would like to see drivable vehicles with passengers/turrets like seen in games like UT2004, dunno how easily i can be coded but would be a first for a hl2 mod.

I'm just too busy to commit to a major project like this. Sorry.

i'd say go for an unrealism mod cause in a few months there will be a lot of good maps in that genre <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif"> . Still, i dunno if there's (a) coder(s) here who's up for the (huge) job

Why don't you guys just figure out how to activate all the HL2 weapons? That would be nice. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Umm... as I love community projects, I would become a mapper. I am not so good in programming, so I cannot take that responsibility. Perhaps I could become a webdesigner ... (lot of experience in that area) aswell.
And, umm... today I am going to start studying (hard) XSI... so logically, I should be a below-average modeller aswell <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I don't have the skills to tackle any kind of project, but if I hypothetically did... then I would fall under the mapping category.

I guess I'd be most valuable as a coder, there are plenty of mappers here better than me ready to commit to this project. I doubt I'd be able to find the time tho...

Mapper, but I can also act as a sound engineer.

Can fit in some mapping if I'm given some sort of theme or aim to go for. Unfortunately, not a vast amount as I'm very busy, but still do-able.
