Hi all, I’m currently the only mod here and I’ve sadly had to be less active given sizable real life responsibilities. So posting here to see if anyone is up for assisting in mod management? It's still pretty small right now but it's good to get ahead on these early I feel.

If anyone’s interested just comment below and I can get things approved from there, Preferably say any experience you have if applicable.

Hello. I propose a Half Life meet up, and I partially got the idea from reading about the Fallout meet ups, but ours could still be something unique, such as possibly including a dodgeball event using a set of rules inspired by the NES Super Dodgeball game. I'll be open to discuss any suggestions or modifications to the sample of the plans.

You can choose 1 of 6 Factions:

Resistance

Xen

The Combine

Aperture Science

The Employers

Race X

I'm a former member of the USA Dodgeball Team, and I first began playing at age 14 in 2001, and to make this a fun meet up, we can have a competitive dodgeball series with one team per faction featuring a video series inspired by Extreme Dodgeball from Game Show Network, which could be used as a way to help advertise the Half Life Meet Up. Energy Balls are generated by Combine Dark Energy reactor systems and transmitted through the plasma conduits of Citadel power transfer systems, and may be the ball type used at the events /s

The image attached to this post shows a potential location for the meet up, set on 40 hectares / 98.85 acres in Italy.

We can use this location in Italy as an example, since the official location is TBD.

€1,950,000 / 6 Factions = €325,000 / 4 options = €81,250 / cost of each option below to show how many people are the goal.

4 Potential Half Life Meet Up Options:

HEADCRAB OPTION: €50 (1,625 people per faction goal)

Full access to the video series inspired by Extreme Dodgeball from Game Show Network, with one team for each faction, and the top players selected from tryouts to represent each faction.

HOUNDEYE OPTION: €100 (813 people per faction goal)

Attend the event, play recreational dodgeball, and try to break a world record of largest dodgeball match. Includes HEADCRAB OPTION.

BULLSQUID OPTION: €100 (813 people per faction goal)

Attend the event, tryout for the competitive dodgeball series, and try to break a world record of largest dodgeball match (with the recreational players). Includes HEADCRAB OPTION.

STRIDER OPTION: €1,000 (82 people per faction goal)

Get a vote in the new organization in the decision making process and get the chance to have your voice heard. Includes HEADCRAB OPTION and either HOUNDEYE or BULLSQUID OPTION.

We will have a limit to how many people can attend the first event depending on the location, so we'll be sure to let everyone know that if they miss the limit, they can support the project and save their ticket for one of the following years.

If this is the most recent record info, "The largest game of dodgeball involved 6,084 participants and was achieved by the University of California, Irvine at a game organised by UC Irvine students and NLA Sports (both USA) in Irvine, California, USA, on 25 September 2012" then we can aim to find a place that will allow for over 6,000 people for world record attempts.

During the other months there, I could host dodgeball events for locals, and help prepare those interested in the annual competitive video series.

I will try to post another update soon if we have any interest.

Judging by the numbers above, the number of people who choose options to attend the event:

6 factions x 813 people for HOUNDEYE = 4,878 +

6 factions x 813 people for BULLSQUID = 4,878 = 9,756 +

6 factions x 82 for STRIDER = 492 people =

10,248 people / 2 year plan =

5,124 people for the first event goal

I got all the achievements! It was pretty awesome, and I just wanted to share my joy :)

Trying to get some opinions!

My fiance is playing through the half life series for the first time, and I have never been more excited!

She has already made it to on a rail with half life 1 and then I showed her sven coop. Which now we may be playing together.

I figured hl1 isn't that big of a deal when it comes to shock and awe. I think that game won't be ruined by some multiplayer mayhem.

However I was thinking of playing synergy with her as well. From what I can tell the loading screens aren't as seamless. I'm more worried about difficulty and if having a second player would ruin the immersive experience.

What do you think? Would something like synergy have ruined it for your first time on hl2?

Thank you all for the feedback!

It's a drawing of gman and he says "as for the choccy milk, I think you've earned it" and he hands gordon a glass of chocolate milk.

Am I crazy?? I thought it was so funny I set my steam profile description to say it when I first found the image. If anyone can help find it that would be much appreciated!

Just finished this mod, and it was amazing to get such high quality content for free. I was surprised how massive is this mod, and polished. For free it's a must play if you like Half-Life.

My only nitpicks would be glitchy physics which can send you flying, and that it crashed few times when i played on Linux.

Not my work, I don't have a source (lol, source)

Can you find it ?
