Half-Life 2: Wars is a modification for Valve Software's Half-Life 2, and runs on the Source engine (Orange Box / Source 2007). The basic premise of HL2: Wars is to create an original RTS in the Half-Life 2 setting, adding new ideas of our own while staying within the relative boundaries of the HL2 universe's established canon. The current public release is Beta v1.0.4 (download) which is multiplayer only. Future releases will greatly redevelop and change many aspects of the gameplay.

Requirements:
- Ownership of Orange Box / Episode Two
- Half-Life 2: Episode Two installed
- Orange Box SDK Base (in Tools) installed

- Functional RTS Interface and HUD
- RTS Minimap
- Orange Box SDK
- Rudimentary Basebuilding
- Fog of War
- Unit Abilities
- Tech / Research Tree
- Custom AI and navigation
- All game code is written in Python

Progress has been advancing steadily. Our next public beta release will presumably be near the end of 2011 or early 2012 and will feature the new game code and features. The next beta (Beta 2) will feature the Resistance or Combine as playable races in multiplayer. These races will feature extensive base building. For a sneak peak check out this video!
