half life universe

[RefaelBA]

well... you should start with the notion that valve will probably won't even accept the idea. do it just for fun, do it for your own good. and then, you won't get dissapointed if valve will ignore this idea...
as for the length, it takes thousands of pages to concieve a game - concept art, technical notes, ideas, plot, scripts, everything - the whole thing is just way too much to call "fun". and you're too lazy to write poor 50 pages?!!

Btw is the half life story also copyrighted? Otherwise send your script to blizzard aswel

I think it is cyber, it would be major fuck up on valve's end if it wasn't

[RefaelBA]

won't be their first.

-its a mmo fps.

Impossible, without valve making an entirely new game. How many mmo Half Life mods have been started? A few. How many finished? 0. The source engine is probably the WORST engine possible for this kind of mod. Long load times, bad video lag with certain wide open spaces, and it lags with only 16 players at times. Do not even waste your time with an idea like this, unless your hoping to give Gabe a laugh

[Deadman]

who says we're going to be using source for it ?

serioously though, the source engine was never designed for that kind of game so it would either have to be A: adapted for MMO use or B: completely redesigned

[holy_cheese]

it wouldn't use the source engine, if it even was take into consideration, it wouldn't be released till after hl3, at which point it would probably take years to complete, im guessing if it were to happen, it would prolly happen in ten years time.
Plus, the idea is so general that it could be applied to ANY attacking force fighting against ANY resistance movement. plus this is more just purely for my own enjoyment, like how some people write fan fiction, i want to do this.

yeah yeah, i got heaps of free time, you know engineering at uni can't possibly be THAT demanding. plus when i said prof style, i didn't mean like 50pages worth, i just can't write that much, ever, on anything.
like i know what i want it to look and feel like, i just don't know much about the whole who fights who, and the vortiguant slaves and all.... the idea i have now could EASILY be made into a mmo fps involving two sides only thing is that now i have hl2 in my head and hl fits perfectly into it, also it has a huge fan base already and by hl3 it will be even bigger meaning that it it was done with hl as the base then, blimey the cash cow has landed.
ill start typing up a document with some ideas, then ill get it hosted somewhere at some point and share it with you guys, then you can add/edit/crap on and report back to me.
im not to fussed about the whole gabe will buy it for millions, they prolyl won't but im pretty sure i could kick up a good fuss if they blatantly rip it off without so much as a recognition or free subscription for life

Then you should sue them

hello...this is Meloning stupid. u guys are just fantasizing about a WoW HL2 game. now, stop dreaming, play a little half life 2, then play a little WoW. theres ur fantasy game.

[Spartan]

There is still a shit load of stuff they left out of Half Life 2's story. Like where did the alien slaves originally originate, who is the G-Man, what are the other cities. what about the alien butterflies you released in Xen in the first Half Life, what about the enemie to the Xen that you saw in OP4, etc?
