Dystopia


Robocop

Recommended Posts

Today Dystopia 1.3 was released. Dystopia is a cyberpunk mod developed on the Half Life 2 engine. Its not the traditional FPS shooter really. Its pretty fast paced and set more or less around teamplay, tactics and individual skill.
It does take some time to get used to but once you get the hang of it your hooked. It does require you to have Steam and HL2 ... and the sdk i believe. If your interested the home page is here http://www.dystopia-game.com/
Wiki with lots of helpful material http://www.dystopia-game.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

yes, its been promoted big on moddb.com because it invented completely new game mechanics to the source engine.
-inventory
-class, skill, weapon selection on spawn
-new movement mechanics: jumping at a ledge and gripping it to then pull yourself up...
-cyberspace
its a milestone in modding, but when you play online, its almost like unreal tournament

Pvt. Pirate LAN_WROTE ...

the game mechanics are fascinating, but its too fast paced for me.
didnt seem to be based on tactics much, but just on how much you're used on the game and your class.


This is true but the tactics dont realy start until you get in to Pugs and DGL. Then it starts to get interesting.

DGL is Dystopia Global League
Its an international competition put on every year. Teams consist of 5 players to a team.

Yeh in 1.2 it was very hard on the player that was just starting out. In 1.3 theyve made some improvments like arrows telling you where to go and bunnyhoping is alot easier.
Insurgency is an okay mod but that thing has been done so many times. I dont see it all that different from counterstrike. (just my opinion im sure its not) What brought me to dystopia in the first place was that it is different. Not the ordinary modern warfare, WW2 FPS. I still love those too though.
Also if you do like WW2 and have Red Orchestre. Check out the Darkest Hour mod its great.
