Natural Selection- Cheating Death

Natural Selection is possibly the most ambitious user-made modification ever brought to fruition. This multiplayer-only mod somehow manages to transform the aging Half-Life into a seemingly brand-new, atmospheric, and surprisingly deep action-strategy game, pitting hive-minded aliens against resourceful space marines.

Natural Selection's innovations are too numerous to list, but the marine's "commander" mode deserves special mention. Playing as the marine commander, you can order and re-supply other marines in an RTS-style, top-down perspective. This unusual concept not only works, but works well. Then again, it's hard to fault any aspect of Natural Selection: sounds, environments, gameplay, the interface ... it's all very professionally done and polished to a shine.

We're astounded that the Half-Life engine continues to evolve, spawning successful, amazing mods like Natural Selection four years after its original release. Charles Darwin would be proud. (source-:-Gamespy)

Ghost Recon
Ghost Recon puts you in command of a platoon from "The Ghosts," an elite Special Forces unit operating at the vanguard of the US military. Set in the year 2008, Ghost Recon imagines a near future in which ultranationalists have seized power in Russia and begun a campaign of aggression against the former republics of the Soviet Union like the Ukraine, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. With the situation rapidly deteriorating, your team is inserted into hotspots like Georgia and the Baltic states to help bring about stability. It's not a very original premise, but it serves its purpose.

The main game consists of a story-driven 15-mission campaign. After you unlock missions in the campaign, you'll be able to play parts of them again in a quick mission mode. Ghost Recon also offers fairly promising co-op and competitive multiplayer modes like last man standing and hostage search and rescue.

Brothers In Arms
Unlike most games, Brothers in Arms is based on a true story: the exploits of the 3rd Squad, 3rd Platoon and Fox Company of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment, working to free Normandy during WWII. While some comparisons could be drawn to the Band of Brothers miniseries (which focused on the 506), the 502nd distinguished itself as the only group to take part in every major portion of the campaign, and the game spans 8 days, starting with a missed drop the night before D-Day. According to Pitchford, Gearbox has paid an incredible amount of attention to detail, spending a week at the national archives getting as many details as possible, with maps reportedly being recreated faithfully down to the square yard. As Pitchford puts it, Brothers in Arms should be "the most authentic historical military game ever created."

SplinterCell

What is a Splinter Cell?
When intelligence deemed critical to national security cannot be obtained by traditional means, Third Echelon is granted clearance to conduct physical operations. Its existence denied by the U.S. government, Third Echelon deploys units known as Splinter Cells: elite intelligence-gathering forces consisting of a lone field operative supported by a remote team. Like a sliver of glass, a Splinter Cell is small, sharp, and nearly invisible.

What is Third Echelon’s mission?
For the past five decades, the NSA has engaged in the passive collection of moving data, intercepting communications en route. But as communications become digital and sophisticated encryption becomes ubiquitous, passive collection is no longer sufficient. The NSA launches a top-secret initiative, Third Echelon, a return to classical methods of espionage powered by the latest technology for the aggressive collection of stored data. No longer filtering the world through satellites and antennas, Third Echelon agents physically infiltrate dangerous and sensitive enemy locations to collect the required intelligence by whatever means necessary.

Third Echelon agents’ prime directives are as follows:
- To aggressively collect intelligence vital to U.S. security.
- To protect critical U.S. information systems.
- To keep all operations invisible to the public eye.
- To work outside the boundaries of international treaties, but know that the U.S. will neither acknowledge nor support their operations.

Who is Sam Fisher?
Sam Fisher is Third Echelon’s primary Splinter Cell operative.

Fisher has been on the front lines of espionage through several key decades of world history. He has not only survived but excelled in the field of espionage through hard work, insatiable curiosity, and brutal honesty. He has little time for polite niceties and even less for lies.

Though fully aware of and confident in his abilities, Fisher understands that his survival has often been a gift of chance. He knows he is human and fallible and does not want to die. He has a strange and slightly dark sense of humor.

He is quiet, instinctive, and observant, somebody who watches from the outside. Fighting, espionage, and constant training have defined his adult life; his tactical experience has become part of his instinct. Now, even outside of work he is most comfortable on the fringes of society, keenly observant but still removed.

Fisher has acquired an admirable collection of scars and has little left to prove to the world. Now older and wiser, he has no interest in glory. If he fights, it is because he believes the cause is necessary and he is capable.

Doom 3
Distinguishing itself from previous titles, the third game in the series focuses more on an engrossing single player experience. In addition to its frenzied first-person shooter action, it also scares the wits out of players as they tremble down dark corridors filled with gruesome zombies and monsters ready to attack from the shadows. Players have to switch between their weapons and their flash light to survive the horror that Hell has unleashed on Mars. DOOM 3 features realistic physics, 6-channel surround-sound, and real-time dynamic lighting and shadows that create an environment of ever-changing fear and uncertainty. Compete in vicious multiplayer action where light, shadows, and a totally dynamic world can be used to your advantage or peril.

1998: Half-Life sends a shock through the game industry with its combination of pounding action and continuous, immersive storytelling. Valve's debut title wins more than 50 game-of-the-year awards on its way to being named "Best PC Game Ever" by PC Gamer, and launches a franchise with more than eight million retail units sold worldwide.

Now: Half-Life 2.

By taking the suspense, challenge and visceral charge of the original, and adding startling new realism and responsiveness, Half-Life 2 opens the door to a world where the player's presence affects everything around him, from the physical environment to the behaviors -- even the emotions -- of both friends and enemies.

The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling. Freeman is thrust into the unenviable role of rescuing the world from the wrong he unleashed back at Black Mesa. And a lot of people -- people he cares about -- are counting on him.

5.11 Players shall not purposely unbalance the game on a public (i.e. non clan) server by ganging up with fellow gamers.

6.5 Players that deliberately hinder their team (such as by flashbanging their own teammates, stacking detpacks to block doorways, shooting friendly players off of stations, and so on) may be removed without warning. However, a player that is intentionally (and sadistically) disabling their own team goes against the idea of the 'serious gamer', and is therefore not welcome on our servers.

6.6 Team killing, (Tk'ing) is also a major act of immaturity. Once or twice on accident is forgivable. But team killing intentionally for revenge or for fun, is an immature act and is not tolerated.

6.7 You may not use any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable language toward any other player.

6.8 You may not harass, threaten, embarrass or cause distress, unwanted attention or discomfort to another player.

6.9 A little healthy trash-talk is fine and appropriate to gaming, just as it is to almost any other sporting event. However, prolonged and unsolicited harassment may be grounds for removal. In the event that a player feels the need to continually harass another gamer, they will be requested to cease immediately. If they continue, they may be removed.

6.10 You may not post or communicate any player's real world personal information.

6.11 You may not accuse others of cheating, if you feel that someone is cheating please report it to gamesmaster@saix.net.
