thoughts on Dystopia Mod?

[MJ]

is it worth the DL? Gimme some reviews folks!

Solid.

That's the best description I can give you. Gameplay is meaty and enjoyable, and quite fair, but I still haven't got my head round cyberspace yet.

The single provided map is nice in places, but on the whole slightly barren. Definitely room to roll out the custom content.

Overall, a promising mod demo. Worth a download.

Its ok, I guess.

It's a bit weird, and cyberspace is just a gimmick, at least in the one map included in the demo.

All the weapons feel weird, and a few of them are just weapons from HL2DM with new models and sounds.

It has potential to become an awesome team play game.

Worth a try, you may love it.

visually it was pretty good, gameplay was boring and repetitive. it consisted of bunny hopping around people and firing and stuff. though being a ninja was fun, though the steal shader sucked cause people could see you so easily. the gui stuff and the whole coding in general is really nice, but the cyberspace is just a gimmick like jynx said.

[Meotwister]

yeah, it was a pretty fun game. I didnt even use cyberspace once so far. Mapping wise I thought it could've been a lot better. Nice textures and whatnot but the rooms were all barren and empty and the outside of the building didnt look very good at all.

Only other complaint would be that I don't really feel the gun when I fire it, least not as much as in counter-strike, etc.

On the whole yes very good, and I think all the problems are gonna be straightened out before final release anyway so I'd say worth the dl.

booting it up as i type..,.

hmmmzzz... dunno .. it is a nice game but it really feels like a beta, or alpha really graphics ( 2d , hud ) could be much better imo

Felt too much like CS:Source to me

some of the same sounds, animations etc.

I would have hoped to see more content in the first demo especially maps... One map doesn´t keep it interesting for long.

Obviously this is the first demo but why rush the release.

Some cool tricks in the game like the cyberspace thing and the monitors you can use around the map

[st0lve]

way to cyberpunk for my taste.

i think in the end this mod wil turn out pretty cool but right now everything just doesnt feel right. weapons are too static cause there is no animation when walking and when shooting you dont really feel the impact like in cs:source and for the map well its a nice map but i think its way to empty.

why did they release this anyway? many people will be disapointed in this and never look at it again (even if newer releases wil be great)

just like jal said why rush a release? i think they should have waited until they had polished atleast the content they now have. looking at what they got right now you can see they can doe a lot better..

I thought it was fun as hell. it has potential to be a very good teambased shooter.

[mike-0]

in my opinion, this is the first mod for hl2 that doesn't really feel like youre playing hl2. some sounds are borrowed from CS, so they need to get on that, and also the animations are pretty boring and slow. otherwise, i thought it was sweet. the player models are awesome.

[Smokey21]

Didnt like some of the animations. Some sounds, as mike-0 said, were borrowed from cs which bugged me. Mapping in some areas was impressive but in others seemed, amature. Visually I thought it lacked, but the gameplay does make up for it.

[Gaz]

I found it really fun, didn't ring HL2 or CS to me, only at the begining when I was trying to figure out what to do and I heard the vox woman talk.

I thought the cyber punk bit was cool, with someone jacked in they were able to speed the teams progression up a lot, opening doors that were otherwise locked etc.

It was nice to play something different in the sense that its not a "war" game, personally war games have become like RPGs and too "main stream" as it were, too much of the same thing about.

Dystopia was a fresh break from this, and it was a laugh
