i just played the wastes for the first time, and am exceedingly pleased with it.
the overview is as follows: It is a free for all fragmatch with configurabe weapon loadouts and some cool extras like thermal vison!!! The mod is set in a post apocalyptic world somehwere near nevada or mebe utah.
my chief beef with it was that the maps are big enough for like 200 players so i need people to play with, of course there don't seem to be any actual, read steam, servers up
any way thought i would post the link and all

can anyone understand him?
or is it just my insanity that prevents me from reading it?
-
It may be your sanity that prevents you, not your insanity ;)
The Wastes is a funkeh mod. I played it a while back but gave up after some time, since nobody was around to play it and it was buggy as heck. There's a lotta cool stuff in it though, and any fan of Fallout or Mad Max should check it out.
(edit: stupid typos mumblegrumble)

I was a big fan of TW for a while, but the total lack of servers makes it hard to play any mod. I even put together a nifty wastes mappack containing a lot of older hard to find maps from wasteland half-life, the wastes's earlier incarnation. Being a big fanboy of anything post-apocalyptic, I found it awesome. And yeah, some of the maps are incredibly huge, but they're also some of the nicest looking maps I've seen of any mod outside of NS. If anyone wants to throw up a listen server sometime and play some games, I'd be in!
-
bob, i may take you up on that. but, it looks like im moving back to 56k land in a few days.
-
I too enjoy playing the wastes. It was an awesome mod.. and yeah, most of the maps are too damn huge..
Another fun (semi)post-apolyptic (co-op) mod is Syndicate black-ops.. Unfortnatly its fan following is even smaller than that of the wastes..
and french.
-
Yes, lack of players seems to be the problem for every mod, which is why a few of us AHL players made mod club (bob, me, ect.) We must've tried like 20 mods in a month, all with at least 4 players :D
-
Yeah I remember playing this mod years ago hafaf, no one to play with and lack of updates made me never look at it again hafaf! Another good mod is PVK though. Pirates, Vikings, and Knights, what more could you ask?(except for ninjas)
Hafaf, the reason I stopped playing that is it was buggy, laggy, quite a few exploits, easy to crash servers, and it had some weird physics but it was still a-bucket-o-fun!

what was the CS clone set in the future. it was HELLA pretty. and seemed like every map was pulled from Bladerunner.. anyone remember it? it made a big splash then dissappeared.
and while we are talking about HL mods (/me gets flashbacks of ns.org OT post), how about Digital Paintball, Box Wars, HOly Wars, Battlegrounds, Soccer, Master Sword, Gladiator, Front LIne Force, Firearms, Global Conflict (sic).....
-
Master Sword > all :p
-
digital paint ball was doing pretty well last time i checked.
on fact is getting nearly 5million minutes a month acouring to steam.

Ghost-Ops. Click my sig, check out all the nice renders.
And it didn't disappear; they're still working on it, an alpha version has been released to the team, and it's apparently awesome.

Public Enemy
ah yes, that's it. no pj, i wasn't ghost ops.
-
ghost ops was the anime-styled one (very ghost in the shell/masamune shirow) but I dunno if it ever came out and I'm pretty sure it was single player anyways.
What was public enemy like? =o
-

puurdy.
-
it might be the same one but, they kinda changed topics. the site i linked to pj's sig, i have to say all the stuff they have released looks very nice:)
-
i should prolly qualify that purdy statement.
pUURrrrdy, for HL.. (http://www.planethalflife.com/penemy/ingame_englisch.htm)
-
anyone remember train hunters?
holy wars was fun [dragon == winnar] and wasteland was fun as well, except for bleeding out

Incorrect, Ghost-Ops is much like CS, except based in the future. No anime-based things, and it will be multiplayer, although with their awesome storyline, they are toying around with the idea of making a single player version.
I haven't played Public Enemy, NiteOwl, but Ghost-Ops fits the description. They have an amazing splash screen, and all of their renders are awesome.
-
Master Sword > all :p
Yeah, MS was uber fun to play for a while, but all the rampant cheating and lack of updates kinda made me lose interest... plus I never see any servers up for it anymore. While i was on the team it seemed like there wasn't alot of organization. The mappers were doing well with the remakes and new maps, but the effort in modeling was made towards weapons and not to monster models and such. The monsters needed work alot more than the weapons did. THe elf playermodel looked great though. Plus we were short a coder for a while so subsequent versions were nonexistant and we had a few people leave the team. meh.
-
heh, I just played on the LAN so there was no cheating or stuff... just rampant fun and silliness =D

yeah I did too mostly, But playing online is part of the fun, then you can show off your character. Before i uninstalled I had a lvl 30 something guy I think. He had full knight armor and used a longsword and great axe most often.
but playing online... you usually have to deal with the people who hacked their charcter, which is why I always hosted my own game and banned teh haxxors
-
I was never bothered about the levels, it was fun enough not realising our chars were getting better ^^
In many ways, back when I played, it was so good because it was so baaaaad :lol:
-
yeah, what was especially fun was being able to scale mountains by climbing the arrows fired into the walls. I mainly wanted to level just to raise my stamina so I could run longer and stuff... then run behind trolls and punch them in their back.

That's right, The Wastes is back. New and improved with a new formula. Both the website and the forums have been given a visual makeover in anticipation. We hope you like what you see. After a small hiatus we are back and have announced a The Wastes 2.0. Rebuilt from the ground up; TW 2.0 will use Steam technology for the latest support regarding Half-Life. Stay tuned in the upcoming weeks for features, screenshots and news regarding the new version.
- gage
wooo \o/
-
I remember playing some post-apocalyptic mod... all I can really remember was having akimbo pistols, and when you reloaded them, your character would fling one in the air, reload, catch it, then throw the other one :)
-
Desert Crisis probably......
-
Yay! the Wastes redid their webpage! With announcements of TW 2.0!
Woooooo!
Wait.. did they even ever get to a final release of 1.0? :blink:
-
Meh who cares. As long as it's got lots of cool wastelandish maps and I can spear people in the head, I'm game!
