Dystopia Mod Released for HL2

Posted by Zonk on from the a-dark-day-for-gordon-freeman dept.

fistfullast33l writes "Dystopia, a Matrix meets TRON mod for Half Life 2, has finally been released to the public today. This has been one of the more beautiful and original mods under development for HL2 so far. Files are available all over the place but check out their homepage for more details." From the article: "After 9 long months of heavy development and another year of planning and designing before that, it has been a long and challenging road to this point. We're extremely excited to let the public see what we've been so busy working on all this time and hope that you enjoy it as much as we do. This demo version is limited to only 1 map; Vaccine, but features all of our high powered weapons and extensive range of implants."

    Yeah, it mentioned at the bottom of the summary in the quote, who but read who reads the whole thing! Slashdot topic titles are worse than Fox news headlines... Impeach Zonk!

    While noted on the website, the /. post neglected to mention that this is merely a demo. I do not mean to deprecate the Dystopia team's work in any way, but people should bear in mind that this is not yet the finished product.

      The developers say:
      Dystopia will always be free if you're running it on top of HL2.

      We've called our first release a demo because we wanted people to realise that we've got a far more polished and stable release than a normal mod beta. Dystopia has been in a closed beta for 6 months now, and the demo release is being released to the public to let everyone get a taste of Dystopia.

    So that those who prefer SP games don't get their hopes up,

    IT'S MULTIPLAYER ONLY

    Not that that little nugget's on the front page or the Slashdot article summary... at least it's on the About page near the top.

    I'll second that. Definitely worth a download, as it's the best third party mod out for HL2 now. (Although there isn't much competition...)
