    Just saw this on PHL, definately one to keep your eyes on:

    DAWN takes place during 2004 just as the combine begin to invade Earth. You play the role of an average citizen woken up by a portal storm opening. Confused, you tune your television to CNN only to witness all hell break loose. The mod will change aspects of Half-Life 2's storyline, such as the Combine and Xen creatures invading Earth at the same time.

    Damn you Garry, it's all your fault!

    To be fair it's obviously very early in development, I just warmed to the idea of having Xen aliens fighting the combine as well as Marines

    Eh, the concept doesn't do much for me. If they're going to place a mod inside the Half-Life 2 storyline, I don't think changing it around is a good idea — it's just lazy storytelling, and in a single-player mod that is a very important aspect.

    It's not like they couldn't still have the Earth forces, Combine and Xen fighting without altering the storyline; remember, the Xen were here already. Seems kind of pointless.

    I hate to say this but the screens on their page look very dull.

    The props are nice (probably downloaded from somewhere) but the brushwork is just horrible.

    Anyways who cares... I want more SP mods!!

    That tank just looks ridiculous, plonked upside-down in the middle of the road.

    Sums up the quality of the mod for me, strangely.

    That shot of the invasion force is ugly as hell. Why would an armada all line up on the same horizontal plane? Poor composition at the very least.

    That mod looks lame, and Poke646 is good.

    Another one of those potentional singleplayer mods that won't make it through the concept phase.
