HL2RP REDACTED Gaming

Hello everyone!
I'm here to announce REDACTED Gaming 7 Hour WarRP.
The staff at REDACTED Gaming wanted to try and mix things up, because you go into
the HL2RP server list and you see a ton of CityRP servers and other similar variants.
Well we wanted to try something different, to add some variety to the list
Our server is set in New Mexico, 2010 three hours after the war started. The city has been destroyed along with many of it's inhabitants. Those left are either imprisoned in the military base the Combine have turned into their base camp, or in the crumbling remains of the city.
The server is using a slightly modified canon and is still currently under development. We hope to have it up soon. In the meantime feel free to visit www.rcted.com to keep up to date with the server so you can join when it opens.​

 

how would a 7 hour war rp work
the 7 hour war lasted for 7 hours
that's kind of really hard to work with when you're trying to run a public non one off rp server

 

also who would the combine "be"? like what models do you plan on using for the combine troops/synths?

 

Please go more into depth about how exactly this would work. Factions and maybe provide some pictures

 

Some player models would have to be rerigged by Cakez, such as synth models. This is because some models arent usable for CW

 

How much is Cakez paying you to advertise...

 

He's the only rigger I know who isnt a total asswipe and actually does shit

 

Let me start off by saying, I didnt and continue to not think this will work, but the community owner was set on trying it out. As far as who the combine "are" this is where I had to break canon to make it work a bit. Civil protection is now known as the CIF or Combine Invasion Force. These units are basic foot patrols who search for any surviving humans that have sought shelter in the ruins of the city. OTA is now known as the OAF or Overwatch Assault Force. These units still play the same basic role as OTA do on a standard CityRP server and are only called out to handle any heavy resistance a CIF patrol encounters. Once I get the basic "outer shell" (I guess you can call it) working and playing properly. Im really going to focus the CIF groups to GHOST, PHANTOM, and SHADOW as the three primary divisions for patrol the ruins of the city for any survivors. As far as the OAF goes they are just using standard OTA and EOW models. Synths I havent really worked out a way to make them work as of yet. As more work is done I'll update this thread. Pictures soon to come.

 

how is this seven hour war rp
the seven hour war was the conflict between the world's military and the combine's.
this looks like modified city rp

 

Again something I brought up with the owner while expressing thoughts about this and to summarize what he said to me: Its focusing on the the aspect of what was happening in the cities, and to the citizens during the war.

 

Missile Base in New Mexico converted to a temporary Combine Base/prison camp *Combine base located underground and accessible via shaft marked by force field on the lower right side of the picture* I had to illuminate (Poorly if I might add) the area for photo's sake. The map we are using has a day/night cycle,so it isnt always excessively dark.

 

So wait, the server is only going to run for 7 hours?

 

Honestly, I'd love to see this play out.
But, How exactly would you interpret certain key-standards that're apart of The 7 Hour War? (Such as, Executing Children), or if You're taking the approach of implementing Child Labor.
It's also been stated before, I just wanted to bring this back up "So wait, the server is only going to run for 7 hours?", That's also something I'm wondering about, since..How would you constantly keep the server up(For as long as you intend it to be.), While the 7-Hour War really only lasted for 7 Hours, I'm guessing that you'd be constantly switching maps or something of that sort, to at least keep it fresh, Otherwise I'm not sure how It'd work out time wise, It appears really interesting in all. I would definitely play this, I'm just confused on how It'd work out.

 

As CQB stated above, we are only doing this because the community owner wanted to. We are going to swap to modified CityRP if the 7hr war fails to attract people.
