We're still making great progress. Strap just rendered his weapons for me again, and I put them all on the site. Check out the armory's Pistols, Small guns, and Energy Weapons pages for Strap's newest models:

Colt Anaconda .44 Magnum
Walther MPL 9x19
Mosin Nagant M1938 7.62x54R
FN Herstal F2000 5.56mm and 40mm weapon system
FN Herstal FN EW86 laser rifle

Expect to see some new melee weapons as well as the new MISC page on the armory. MISC will have things such as weapons, items, drugs, medical equipment, armor, etc. that do not fit into the other categories. Expect to see a few hand grenades, home made bombs, armors, and medikits very soon.

As always, WE NEED HELP SKINNING OUR WEAPONS! If you want to play this game one day, help us out, talk to people about our mod on whatever forums you may frequent. You never know who might be able to help us out.

HL2Grounds.net is proud to present one of the most original and anticipated mods to grace the community: the cyberpunk-themed Corporate Anarchy.
Cerberus, the mod leader and J1mmy, the mapper was kind enough to answer some hot questions about their mod.
Here's a snippet:

Describe your player class/equipment system? How is it going to make the mod more exciting and varied?
Jonathan: In my opinion this is where CA is the most innovative. Rather then forcing the player to choose their character class, we let them control 6 different attributes which influence almost everything about the character. 3 of those attributes, strength, speed and precisision have enormous influence on how weapons handle. With each attribute(we like calling them traits) having 7 settings possible, there are 343 ways the same gun can handle depending on how you set those 3 traits.

Read the full interview: HERE.

In addition, they have been awesome enough to reveal three stunning concepts and models showing off the style of their mod. Behold!

During a time in modern rock when sameness is celebrated over substance and innovation has been all but forgotten, LA’s heavy metal juggernaut, Fear Factory, remains a pioneering force in music. As one of the first bands in modern metal to mix hardcore with industrial beats and synthesizers, Fear Factory also experimented with full album remixes long before the practice came into vogue. Beyond that, vocalist, Burton C. Bell took inspiration from singers like Soundgarden’s Chris Cornell, Andrew Eldridge from Sisters of Mercy and The Mission UK’s Wayne Hussey to forge a distinctive vocal style blending melodic lyrical delivery with aggressive vocals. That’s right; Fear Factory did it first.

"From the very beginning, the essence of Fear Factory was always Raymond’s drumming. We know that if you just follow Raymond, that’s a Fear Factory riff."
- Burton C. Bell

Tune in Half-Life Radio on Thursday July 15th for the two-hour Fear Factory special and spend an evening with drummer Raymond Herrera. He will be coming to us LIVE from Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain. Fear Factory is finishing up the European leg of their world tour in support of their new album Archetype.

In addition to Raymond's musical career he is heavily involved in the gaming industry. Raymond is the founder and CEO of Herrera Productions a company that does music, voice over and sound effects for video games, movies, and television.
That’s Thursday July 15th at 5pm Pacific, 8pm Eastern
Trust me this is a show you don't want to miss!
