Half-life's last big splash

<div class="IPBDescription">Is ns it?</div>It just occurred to me that Natural Selection might be the last "next big thing" to come out of the Half-Life engine; after it, I don't see anything else big on the horizon.  

What do you guys think?

    Gotta agree on the Half-life Rally.  Any mod that uses an engine in a way that it was never intended and gets away with it gets MAD props in my book.

    Yes, HL Rally looks amazing, and the TDK plays amazing, i absolutely can't wait.  I think NS and HLR will be one of the last most impacting mods on HL's career.

    Totally off-topic, but I just have to know...

    MCThornGristle: is your nick derived from Gristle McThornbody, the MST3K joke name?  That episode was by far one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

    I personally cannot wait for Bushido. Also, Gladiators looks m4d cool. And also HLR.

    I'm sure HL will have a few hurrahs after that, however I think it's work contract will be canceled sometime soon (Natural selection soon mind you (Note: This implies a very long time. =)).

    HL is a engine almost ANY computer can run flawless, has built in Voice com that WORKS, Netcode for the most part is great, and Counter-Strike: Condition Zero will upgrade the engine to get past it's drawbacks. =)

    P.S.: Let's not forget The Opera R2. *Drewl*

    I had forgotten about Bushido... But, as good as it looks, I don't think it's going to create a big CS/DoD sized ripple in the gaming community, like NS has the potential to do (in my opinion).  

    And yes, Relic, you're the second person to notice the origin of my name.  You get cool points.

    Arrg…

    Personally, I thought Half-Life should have died a long time ago, it’s been running on fumes ever since people learned that Team Fortress Two was a pipe dream, and Half-Life two would probably never be released. Granted, I love those Valve guys, but it seems to me like they’re sucking every breath out of the game that they can, rather than working on something completely new. I do not want to see another mod-turned-game, and I really don’t want to see another stupid Counter-Strike clone.

    It's not Valve's fault, it's our fault for liking Counter-Strike.

    It's there any linkage to this "Project Timeless"?

    Hmm, you're all forgetting the most awesome MOD of all, Varoom!

    Don't forget air-hl.  It was never very publicized but I got to play a few betas and it was incredibly fun.  You fly around in jetplanes and dogfight.  Used same hullfile/scaled models as rally only really really tiny models.  The hardest part was picking out those tiny airplanes when they're 2 miles away and just specs.

    That would be our own ken20banks, creator of NS_Nothing (in playtest right now) and NS_Powerhouse (still in production).  Yay!
