mod thoughts

Not that I have any ideas, but I always thought Insects Infestation was a pretty original and creative idea....

I always wanted to use a mod that used the basic premise of Ikaruga. You can switch between white and black with the press of a key. Your white gun hurts black players and heals white players. Your black gun hurts white players and heals black players. Guns would probably need to function like UT shock rifles (half a second to a full second of charge up, then releases the rail shot) so that one or two shots would kill you. Switching colros would result in a 1 second buffer where you can't shoot and a 5 second buffer where you can't change color again. Your health can max out at 200%. Levels would probably be smaller deathmatch arenas to keep the action fast.

Sounds simple and interesting, only you would need to make the colors red and blue or something else, white and black doesn't sound pc.

That's already a japanese techno babble game dude.

tbh the chuck norris, macgyver and seagal idea sound worth building..

Macgyvers only weapon should be a paperclip, and he should be able to do anything with it.

Metroid Prime 2 had a similar style, light and dark weapons, light only affected dark and vice versa. Also fire and ice

The big boss at the end had a habit of switching between all four, making an interesting challenge.

I've some ideas for games I'd like to make, but the only mod I've really got in mind is Research Project: ELVA, which I started up just before HL2 was announced (bad timing). It is far from creative though, what with effectively being a rip off of Phantom Crash for the Xbox I still reckon it could be awesome though.

While I don't mind sharing map ideas and the like, the game designs I'd rather keep to myself for now. I don't think any of you guys are likely to steal them, but I'd still like to keep them under my hat for the time being. There are two I'm particularly proud of, and both are in tried and tested game genres, but they each have a few changes that are the focus of the gameplay. Either would be familiar to play, yet hopefully have those killer hooks that reel people in.

/secretive, paranoid mindset

ikaruga was awesome.

Still waiting for a coop mod where you are either chuck norris, maguyver or steven segall. Each with their own special powers, fighting horders of german speaking terrorists

OMFG lets do it!!!!!!!!!!! best mod idea evr~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i wish the specialists would of made the descion to go to source. but since not, i hope sometime soon there is a mod with similar features in it, i always loved TS.

I was thinking about modernish Guntlet'ish multiplay game for HL2 where the player controls his avatar from a isomethic perspective (is that sayd right)

The world itself is build 3d but you can't rotate or anything and the screen slides along when you move your avatar.

It would be a multiplayer game with CTF and FFA gamestyles and you can get better equipment, powers etc from chests or crates that spawn randomly on the map.

Some physics and traps and whatever I can think of can be in it

Once thats done in a modern style there could be medievil and future settings/weapons/maps

Could be rebels vs combine initially.

A bit oldshoolish/arcade and mostly aimed at having fun

I remember the days of playing Bomberman and Gauntlet with a few on Nintendo consoles and tought what if you can have 16 players or more running around

I'm in!

I want a bowling mod for HL2, nice shiney lanes, various effects and sexy physics action!

I'd love to see a dark/horror themed deathmatch mod with all kinds of weird mythological creatures. Like werewolves, vampires, hunters, witches, knights riding horses (which would work like vehicles) and stuff.

The atmosphere should be like the one in sleepy hollow (fucking love that movie).

Personaly, I'd love to play as werewolves, it would be so neat if you could morph from canine into garou and vice versa whenever you wanted.

Besides that all, people would love to work on a mod like this, the artistic side would be very strong and the concept isn't really overdone yet.

More TS style mods. There needs to be more diving, rolling and general acrobatic stuff in FPS games. A decent Cyberpunk/Vampire shooter would be good and I crave a good western. Nothing orginal, I'd just like to see certain things done better and with a bit more thought and care.

Who cares ? It's an awesome theme and people would love it.

You cannot be inovative all the times.
