Anyone else play this Half Life mod? If you don't know what the crap I'm talking about, here's the rundown:

 

Half Life deathmatch meets the Matrix/*insert John Woo movie here*

 

What that means is that there are a crap load of bullets going off at any given time, bullet time (that actually works well ) and awsome acrobatic feats.

 

In this game, guns DO affect your movement speed. You will not be moving fast at all if you take the m60 or the barrett(m82) and your acrobatics are severly inhibited. If you make like John Woo and go akimbo Berretas(a Berreta in each hand) then you will run circles around other people and have the full list of acrobatic abilities.

 

You might be thinking, "what the crap are these 'acrobatic abilities' that he's raving about???" Well, there's the standard dive, roll and flips. But, there's the awsomely usefull(and sweet) ability to do the matrix jump, make like Neo and dodge bullets(in Slow Pause, a more effective slo-mo) and "running" along walls(you actually do a lateral wall jump up to three times). The best part is that if you kill someone during a stunt, you get extra points added to your score.

 

In FA you get a small amount of weapon customization. Get the stealth skill and put a silencer on a few guns. In The Specialists, you get to attach a laser sight(tighter crosshairs but can give your position away), silencer(even on the Desert Eagle ), a scope, flashlight and maybe another, I can't remember. While some are less than useful, the flashlight that you can't turn off, the others are very useful. You can even use a Katana to slice and dice your foes or completely forsake all weapons and use the Kung-** systems to pummel your opponents. It's very fun to kick the head off of a Barrett user

 

Just a word of warning however. For those of you used to the stratagy and relatively slow pace of FA, this is a nearly 180 degree turn from that. This is most definately a twitch reaction game. There is so much going on all at once that you can't think if you want to live more than 2 seconds at a time. Also, when you die, and this WILL be often, no matter how good you are, you get to rearrange your equipment if you feel so inclined and then respawn when your ready.

 

This game is the rusher's dream, a very fresh turn from FA where it brutally punnishes the point-man, but this is mainly because it's a usually a free-for-all but some servers have teamplay on. If you get tired of getting pwned by people who like "guarding" dark corners(no offence to those who enjoy this), The Specialists is for you.

 

The Specialists Website

i played this game a long time ago in the early beta days, pretty fun i hope they port it

its fun i just finished playing it, i play on on of those lobby 24/7 teamplay servers

 

its hawt

 

 

 

and i ***** the m82, so watch out for anybody named kingcobra with an m82 :]

I too have played this mod and will likley play it again when i want some more john woo action im my life. the guns are kinda cool and i feel the best part is you can mod your guns, somethng i wish more games would allow you to do. Like BF2...

and i ***** the m82' date=' so watch out for anybody named kingcobra with an m82 :']

the m82 isn't that major of a gun But I've played with a couple of Cobras lately, but none were using the m82, so I might have played with you or I might not.

well im a natural born rusher, so this game may be for me. However, i am also not the greatest at thinking EXTREMELY quickly....so it may not be for me. ? ?

the m82 isn't that major of a gun But I've played with a couple of Cobras lately, but none were using the m82, so I might have played with you or I might not.

well then the people i play with are the only ones that get pissed off about it and complain about it.

 

and my name is just plain "kingcobra" i play on 66.148.80.120:27015 or 66.148.80.108:27015 (2 servers, same name)

heh

 

-edit- er wth why is my picture like squished in, i used ps7 to save to jpg so it wouldnt lose color like in MSpaint, what did i do wrong

ok ive played fast paced games but DAMN, that is FAST! i dont think ive ever played a faster game other than Jaykin Bacon.

I play it, I use the name The Professional :cool:

and sorry, but no one can beat my katana/glock18 combo

I played it since v1.5.

I used to be nearly unbeatable with AK47. Single fire and such. I did only a lil' worse using deagle only (i even wasted a whole enemy team just using it). As for SMGs - MP5 of course...

The best mod is/was CS-like team deathmatch. Too bad its not being played on any server anymore.

There are a few teamplay servers up that I've seen lately. I prefer the all out carnage of the free-for-alls, but the backup you can get on teamplay servers is very nice.

 

And steveo, you'll get used to it pretty quick. After a while it becomes instincive. Just don't play for too long at a time or you might start twitching uncontrollably(j/k, but not really :cool: ) This game is great for waking up, almost as good as taking a slug of pure caffine

 

-Edit-

Heh, so it WAS you earlier today on that server. I see my name in that picture. You must have taken it not too long after I joined. You *****ed the m4 then, not the m82

yeah im being more diverse with weapons now, i kung ** first death and the first gun i disarm for someone is the gun ill use the entire game, and just so happend to be a m4 :cool:

 

 

besides m82 got boring

 

 

-edit- TAC, can we play this as a mod of the week type of thing, the idea died and it would be nice to revive and its alot of fun

stupid EQ...
