New Hl2 Mod In The Works!

[Nuketheplace]

I really think we should make this into a mod.  I mean whats better than falling into a pit?

[BobTheJanitor]

Helo is this ther ight place to post ideas for teh pit mod? Cuz I have an idear where you can get teh rokwet lancher and kill teh bus while yu fallin teh pit.

(Modz plz don't lok this cuz it's good idea)

[Grimm]

Quite the interesting idea we've got here.

[Black Mage]

i can pt the pit!

/me practices on ns_nothing

Well, of course it's a joke now. Perhaps when HL2 comes out, I'll ask a few people for a few minutes work to slap the mod together. Until then, it's just a mod designed to make fun of the countless mods out there with no team and a crappy premise.

Not to be picky, but you have to announce "the best realism combined with gameplay" for it to qualify as a true HL2 mod.

And add the word "tactical" somewhere random.

Btw, I'll code!

[Grimm]

Funny thing I've found about Counterstrike is I've never heard any of the CS fans actually say it was "realistic"; It's always been the anti-CSers that bring it up.

Wait....this is real? I saw it on Saturday when I had a.....little to drink. I thought I'd dreamt it  :blink:

I was not refering to CS, but to the GAZILLION other announced HL2 mods.

[Grimm]

Yea, but there's always the people that will complain about CS. The idea had been brought to mind, I don't mean to insinuate that you were complaining about CS.

As for the Halflife 2 mods (and mods for any game, as well), I think the one theme that I get tired of is "post-apocalypse". Sure, it may sound cool to be fighting in a half-destroyed, completely deserted city, but when so many people think it's so cool, it becomes overused and annoying.

[tankefugl (in a tent)]

Good thing that The Pit is pre-apocalypse then!

.. right?

[Slink]

you know, this might actually be hella fun if there was guns and such.  hear me out...


you spawn.  you get a weapon of some sort, maybe random, maybe 2.  the floor opens, and you fall.

you have maybe 5-10 seconds to kill as many people as you can, to get a higher score/better weapon.

everyone lands, living or not.

(eww...)

you respawn.  and do it all again.



now, some things you could throw in for variety.  maps, with different mid-air (mid-pit?) obstacles.  like, i dont know, crossbars or meat hooks or saw blades or something?  or maybe jacuzi vents, that push on you.  Also, some sort of freefall recoil.  so if you shoot a shotty, you go tumbling end over end backwards...  you'd need some sort of way to counteract this effect, like, air-control or something.

eh eh?  this'd be f'ing hilarious.

(oh, scoring.  1 point for a kill mid-air, 1 point for surviving to the bottom.)


oh, and you could call it  "The Pit: Tactical Suicide" or something.

[tankefugl (in a tent)]

Add arcade style obstacles, pushes, Y-shafts and junctions, powerups as you fall and some air control. Man, it actually sounds like a cool idea.

And I like the tactical part.

Look at that. It took the best mod idea ever to get Insane to post. :p

[Diablus]

you should be able to eat magic beans and grow like 123987547926347893627856784 feet, and then bow up causing spikes to fly everywhere and then everyone getsspikes in their faces and EYEZ!!11111


and then the A team van comes out of nowhere and runs everyone over and mr t's liek "RAWR i R MR TEE I PITY T3H FEWL " then liek everyones runs and falls in the pits because their spikes in their eyes hurt and then they go OGM DED!!1 then a voice goes TERRORISTS WINS and a bomb goez off and then i say haha i win.

The genius SniperChance has used the amazing powers of FLASH and THE INTERNETS to create an intro movie for The Pit, but I need a mirror! Email me at nessearthbound@gmail.com if you would like to offer your bandwidth to this exciting mod and it's 500kb intro.

Edit: Confused has been kind enough to host the most excellent intro movie here!
