Hey guys,
Adrenaline Gamer 2 is now out... as of this morning! I don't know how many of you have played AG1 which is a Half-Life mod, but this is a Half-Life 2 mod ported to the Orangebox engine. The matchmaking and server admin capabilities are out of this world, unlike anything you have ever seen in a Valve engine game, and so is the gameplay.
The official site is http://www.AdrenalineGamer2.com, and while this mod currently has quite a big European following, there are a number of players on the US side of things. The more people are aware of this mod, the more will play it, because it is _that_ good.
Check out the gamemodes that are part of this mod:
Game modes
AG2 provides the following game modes:
Free For All
Kill every other players and scores the biggest amount of frags. You spawn with the gravgun, crowbar, pistol, mp5 and 2 grenades.
Team DeathMatch
Kill every players who do not belong to your team. You spawn with the gravgun,crowbar, pistol, mp5 and 2 grenades.
Last Team Standing
This is a round based mod which means that you don't respawn when you are killed. The winning team is the one that has at least one player still alive in the game. You spawn with all weapons (except egon), full armor and the longjump module.
Last Man Standing
This is a round based mod which means that you don't respawn when you are killed. The winner is last player alive. You spawn with all weapons (except egon), full armor and the longjump module.
Arcade
Kill every other players and scores the biggest amount of frags. You spawn with all weapons (except egon), full armor and the Longjump module.
Arena
This is duel based mod in which two players are facing each other. The winner scores one point and plays against the next player in the waiting list. The loser is going to the end of the waiting list. Egon is not allowed in this gamemod.
Tourney
This is a duel based mod in which all players are attending a 1o1 tourney which is dynamically built based upon the number of available players. The winner of the tourney is rewarded a Gold medal and the finalist a Silver medal. This mod is different from Arena in the fact that it's not only a round based sytem but a single bracket tourney giving everyone a chance to progress to the next stage.Egon is not allowed in this game mod.
Fugitive
This is a one versus all based mod. The Fugitive (a Rebel) is facing all other players (the Cops). When a Cop kills the Fugitive, the Cop becomes the Fugitive and the Fugitive automatically joins the Cops team. The ex-cop has now to defend itself against everyone. When the Fugitive kills he scores a number of points that corresponds to the exact number of Cops chasing him. A Cop killing the Fugitive scores one point only. Egon is not allowed in this game mod.
Instant Gib
Take care. This is a one shot - one kill mod. You score one point per frag. You spawn with the gravgun, crowbar, magnum, crossbow, gauss weapons and the longjump module.
Capture The Flag
This is a 2 teams based mod : blue and red. Each team has one flag. The objective for each team is to get the flag from the other team and return it to its base without having its own flag captured.
Capture The Flag Arcade
Same as Capture The Flag mod except that you spawn with full weapons, armor and the longjump module. Egon is not allowed in this game mod.
Domination
The objective for each team is to get the neutral flag which is located in the middle of the map and hold it as much as it can. The winning team is one that held the flag the longest amount of time.
Football
This is a 2 teams based mod : blue and red. The objective for each team is to score a goal by throwing the ball that is located in the middle of the map to the enemy base.
Warball
Same as Football except that you can use weapons to shoot at the enemy.
And what about Admin management and player voting, etc?
Command Menu GUI:
An ingame Command Menu Graphic User Interface facilitates the setup of a match : all common match settings such as "Friendly Fire", "Weapon Stay", "Current Map/Next Map", "Time Limit" and others can be set in a very simple and efficient way.
Voting system:
All the settings can be decided by the players just by initiating a vote from the GUI (Command Menu).
Administration Menu GUI:
A user having the RCON password can force server settings and have a full control on settings he wants to enable or not on his server.
External mod maps GUI:
The server can decide to activate AG2 to run maps from other Source mods using the built-in GUI.
Map cycle management GUI:
The server administrator can define the map rotation by using the built-in mapcycle.txt text editor.
I encourage everyone who reads this to download the mod here: http://www.adrenalinegamer2.com/index.php?site=files&cat=2
You won't be disappointed! OH ... and if we could get enough interest and players we should DEFINITELY start up a league here on TWL because this is one of the best competition teamplay mods there is for Half-Life based games.
Enjoy!!
