OVERVIEW

Half-Life: Wars, also known as Project: Warfront; is an extremely ambitious concept designed to bring the HL2 modification Lambda Wars onto the Garry’s Mod platform in a first person dynamic persistent war between the Lambda Resistance Movement and Combine Overwatch. Taking motivation from games like Foxhole, Squad, and Lambda Wars our goal is to create an immersive and tactical warfare environment with a huge emphasis on the team with systems created to encourage working together and punish individuality. This gamemode is built entirely from scratch using the skeleton framework Helix as a base. All systems were created to develop the balance between an automated gamemode and captivating experience making it truly feel like you are playing through the uprising of City 17 in Half-Life: 2 except this time the outcome is purely determined by the players and their efforts towards helping the faction they’ve chosen to fight for.

Half-Life: Wars started in 2017 before going through a complete design overhaul in the summer of 2020. Project: Warfront has been in consistent development for 4 years.
Each member of the dev team has at least 10+ years of experience in their respective fields.
The project will always maintain a continuous cycle of newly implemented features. Treating the gamemode as a “live” model with consistent updates safeguarding the unique and fresh gameplay present in the game-loop.
