]]> 26 Oct 2007 07:17:09 Caliber Caliber is a mod that started 2 years ago when a group of guys wanted to make a truly unique HL2 mod. After years of hard work, setbacks and the occasional miraculous success, the team has finally come within weeks to a closed beta. The mod is based in a science-fiction setting, whereupon 3 warring vampire clans, the Order, the Vamin and the Absentis, each fighting for control of the vampire underground. Key gameplay features include:

- An innovative resource system, where killing enemy troops and capturing vital control points allows the player to gain access to new equipment.

- A hierarchy of character ranks, allowing a captain to take control of his team and lead a squad through the game to victory.

- 3 distinct character classes for the 3 sides, each boasting its own form of combat and natural skills.

- Dark, mysterious maps with superb lighting effects, dangerous chokepoints, excellent ambiance and the constant fear of the unknown.

- 3 distinct factions: The Order, the faction made up of holy men trying to expell vampires from the world; The Vamin, a technologically superior race of vampires utilizing superior ranged weaponry and advanced suits of armor; The Absentis, an exclusively melee faction that utilizes stealth, speed and supernatural abilities to vanquish its enemies.

Watch in the following months as Caliber is released to the public. And remember: You have been warned.

We hope to create the ultimate version of Mario Kart (MK) by combining all of the best aspects into one game. We're not simply recreating one version of MK, but using the best parts of each. We want to have all the traditional weapons, characters, and maps but also bring out new weapons that make game-play interesting. We're redesigning the maps so that they keep their appeal, but truly utilize the power of the source engine. We plan to have at least 16 different characters, all the ones you know and love as well as some others from the Super Mario World.

The Bad News : The genetic manipulation has given Subject 617 enhanced speed, mobility and incredible strength - he can pounce like a tiger, cling to any surface and is known to pin victims up for feeding. Worst of all, the experiments have rendered him nearly invisible to the human eye. This is why he is simply known as ... The Hidden

What is it?


Garry's Mod is a sandbox mod for the Source Engine. Unlike normal games there aren't any predefined aims or goals. Players are given tools and are left to entertain themselves.

The player is in a world where objects can be created and destroyed on demand. Where people can be created and destroyed with the click of a mouse. A world made for him. A world he made.


So what do you do?


There are a lot of things you can do with Garry's Mod, but here's a few of the more common uses.


Construction


Garry's Mod provides tools to constrain objects together in various ways. Using these tools the player can create working contraptions.

The simplest example is a car. The player spawns an object to be used for the car's body then adds wheels by firing the tool gunat the object. Wheels are then controllable using the numpad on your keyboard.

You don't have to make moving contraptions though - want to build a fort out of wooden crates then set it on fire? Go for it! Want to build a house using fridges for the walls and mattresses for the ceiling then drive a jeep into it all? Go for it!


Posing and Comics


One of the universal appeals of Garry's Mod has been the ability to place and pose ragdolls. This allows you to create your own comic books and share them online. One major comic spawned from this is HLComic - the story of Gordon Frohman's journey in City 17.

Garry's Mod gives you the ability to place ragdolls, manipulate their facial expressions and aim their eyes.


Gamemodes


Garry's Mod gives the ability to program your own gamemodes (Don't worry - you don't need to be a programmer to play them). This allows the community to make new, often wacky, gamemodes such as melon racing, build to the top and so on.

It's often worth taking a look in the server list to see if any of the games prick your attention - there's often something weird there to try out.


User Created Content


Garry's Mod benefits greatly from a thriving community which is constantly churning out new ideas, maps, models, gamemodes, weapons, Lua scripts and skins.
