This Half-Life 2 Mod is being released next Monday, and it looks like it could be fun. Kind of a 1250 BC D-Day Operation Overlord :-P

Troy : Divine Playground (http://www.troymod.com/) is a multiplayer First Person Shooter (FPS) putting the emphasis on cooperative gameplay. It is a total conversion of the famous Half-Life 2 game. The mod is the final project of seven students in software engineering at the University of Sherbrooke. Most of the core members of the team have real experience in different game companies.

TDP is all about defending and assaulting bases in a Greek setting – with an emphasis on teamwork. Players – agents of the Gods – will influence the tide of the Great Trojan War by possessing and controlling soldiers on the field. Customize your character with a unique skill system and use strategic mechanisms to dominate the battlefield!

Huh. Looks pretty cool. And yeah, it does kinda look like a it's the same kind of style as 1944 D-Day.

I dont know why they would release a game when they think that there will be major bugs.

They also said that they are not releasing any updates for the mod. the only way the game will be upgrades is if someone takes over.

Well, if you can't work on it anymore, shouldn't you just give the public what you've got instead of going door-to-door to find someone to finish it?

Just played it... Its not very good only one map a lot of bad animations, bugs but what can you expect they said it. Could be good if they perfect it (other people take the job)

Well, it is kinda released prematurely, since they had to get rid of it. It has potential, though.

yeah, its a fun mod, but real buggy. wouldn't really take it seriously. unfortunatly since the team is seven students they had to kinda rush this release and discontinue to work on their studies. hopefully another talanted bunch will pick it up and give it a new coat of paint cause it has some huge potential.
