Half-Life 2 Fencing Combat Mod in the WorksBy Brian Crecente Kotaku.com 2/9/07 kotaku.com/gaming/half_life-2-mod/A group of Colorado developers (yay) are working on a yet to be announced multiplayer medieval melee and archery mod for Half-Life 2. The group of ten is looking for programmers experienced with C++ and Half-Life 2 modding. The team wants to pull together a complete demo with two maps and three playable character classes. The final game will have a total of nine character classes. And here's my favorite part: The new melee combat system is be designed by a former Olympic saber fencer. I've been talking about someone doing this for yonks. Here's hoping it translates well and that they didn't dumb it down too much. Frankly, accurate fencing is pretty simplistic, especially saber. You could easily get away with three parries and three attacks without it messing up the appearance of being real fencing. I'm psyched!
