{AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay [DEAD]

**THIS RP SERVER IS NOW OFFLINE**

[lmgtfy]Disclaimer[/lmgtfy]: Now I understand that our community may run a few things differently from other servers, but we try our best to keep our Half-Life 2 Roleplay as enjoyable as possible. As the Founder of Aim for the Head Servers and Server's Host, I always am aware of what goes on in the server, and I am always trying to improve the server's gameplay and Story every chance I get to work on it so please keep that in mind. If you have any recommendations or constructive criticisms, I'll try to take them into mind as long as they are helpful to me or to aid the {AFTH} Community in any way.

[lmgtfy]Introduction[/lmgtfy]: "Aim for the Head Servers" is a community that started up a 2 years ago by me (Fanatical {AFTH}), running Gmod gamemodes such as: Redead, Cinema and VeinRP. {AFTH} currently runs a highly popular "No More Room in Hell" Server, and a "Half-Life 2 Roleplay" Server that has been seeking a playerbase ever since it first started up 8 months ago. The Half-Life 2 Roleplay has been through many content updates and story changes, but has received little to no users join. Our community is noob friendly and has a good amount of admins that are trusted and loyal to their duties, we do not hand out admin positions to just anyone either. {AFTH} hopes to deliver a fair, well paced HL2-RP for anyone to experience.

[lmgtfy]Storyline[/lmgtfy]: The year is 2013, one year after "The Seven Hour War" took place, and Earth is still under a different framework. The depression, lack of resources, and abusive laws have made it difficult for the leftover human populace to survive and thrive. Some citizens try to start a new life, some try to earn the trust to become CWU or to join the Combine forces, and some risk their lives revolting for their freedoms again. Life isn't what it used to be, things from here now on are never going to be the same as it once was. Welcome to humanity's harsh future.

Re: {AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Not to burst your bubble, but hl2 canon wise, the seven hour war took place in 2012.

 

Re: {AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Thanks for the information!

 

Re: {AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay

That is not true, Valve never fully states the actual dates of the events occured in Half-Life, Half-Life 2 and its episodes.

For the community itself, I would suggest to acquire a forum domain of its own and tune it up to be visually pleasing. You should think about making such modifications to the thread itself, perhaps add in a few images or banners, an example of this (visual wise) would be something like this: http://forums.cloudsixteen.com/index.php?topic=5881.msg50201 or perhaps there could be more another good-looking threads around if you did the search.

For the server itself, you should try to come up with a whole new system for Civil Protection more than variations of the same one we have ever seen, examples of communities using different systems are Omega9, Freedom4Gamers and LemonPunch (I know it is a nightmare, but I am speaking about the subject at hand). Also, you should maybe come up with new factions, mainly for CWU or another workforce group; it gets old when you see the same factions/structure in every server.

 

Re: {AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Well I did post an animated advertisement on my YouTube channel but the video was created on the past map we used: city45

I could post that too if you want to see something visual, it was created on the source engine.

 

Re: {AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay

If this is still running, I'd like to make a few suggestions.

1. Remove this Resistance faction; Resistance factions do not work. Experience has taught me this. Rebels are citizens that wish to undermine and ultimately overthrow the Union, or maybe just survive. I highly suggest that you nerf that faction. Same with the refugees.

2. I also suggest that you password your Outlands server, and only give out the password to certain qualified users.

3. Use a different map. Yes, Industrial17 is an exquisitely-made map that suits the needs of everything from Civil Protection units to Vortigaunts, but it's used by EVERY. SERVER.
Maybe use some of the City 8 maps. Those are really under-appreciated.

4. Cut down on the divisions a little bit. Perhaps have a division that performs multiple duties.

That's just my two cents. I wish you the best of luck.

 

Re: {AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Trolled, refrain from necro-posting. This thread is over 2 months old, and no reply has been made, nor any updates. So we can safely assume either the owner of the Community moved on from C16, or it's dead.

 

Re: {AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay

Right, sorry. Yeah, it was pretty old. It was in the second page.

 

Re: {AFTH} Aim for the Head's Half-Life 2 Roleplay

The server is not dead yet, but we are in need of Staff right now, we've went through some dramatic changes over the past two months.
