Water Wars goes HL2

[AcX]

BlueWolf72 (Owner of the HL1 mod Water Wars, the mod I map for) posted this yesterday:

We will be releasing a smaller version of WW for Half-Life. The water and particle system Omega is making is just to good to pass up on Half-Life2. Yes Water Wars is moving to Half-Life2!

More info soon!

This means that the chances are, I'll be around the Help forums a lot more nowadays And I'll actually have to open Hammer 4.0 again.

Never play the original. Looked fun though. I'm just biding my time till some of these mods acctualy get to the point of a release.

[AcX]

Yeah, we should be pretty quick off the mark... The mod's been going on for years without a HL1 release, but we've got plenty of content. Changing to HL2 should give us all a boost and get stuff really going.

Your map will look sweet on Source no doubt.

looking forward to it AcX

I'd rather fight with bullets. More lethal. Except a high powered hose hooked up to a super soaker really stings.

[AcX]

The idea of WW is that certain guns shoot deadly water (acid, water that freezes you, etc.) Pretty crazy tbh. There's also stuff like the sniper rifle style super soaker, which 'uses compressed CO2 to fire a liquid nitrogen bullet to an insane range with much faster projectile speeds compared to conventional super soakers.' And you got the spear gun, grenades and 'tsunami balls'.

'tsunami balls'.

imho thats a bit unpolitical atm though

[Athlete{UK}]

Not realy. Just mentioning tsunami in a slightly humourus context isn't realy non pc. To mention it whilst in the contextof the disaster would be distasteful.

Not be non pc you would realy have to be using it in a mocking sense

'tsunami balls'.

imho thats a bit unpolitical atm though

Don't start that..

[Swatje]

sniff those 150 000 asians

wtc is NOTHING compared with that

[Blink]

You can accept it more as a natural disaster rather then a terrorist attack.

[AcX]

I'm sure the name for the balls was thought up a good while ago. I was just stating the alternative weaponry

[Athlete{UK}]

It doesnt matter. It's a word thats used in context with water and suits this situation. just because its associated with a recent disaster doesn't mean people shouldnt use it any more.

[wiggle987]

well anyways sterring the topic i derailed back on track... what is the concept of water wars? was it like a dm or what?
