Halflife2.net: The Last Great War is written on your website as "a realistic first person shooter based the most anticipated game of 2004, Half-Life II." Judging from this statement, will The Last Great War be set in the Half-Life universe or will it just be run on the Source engine?

Mith: It'll be powered by the source engine technology, the same technology that powers Counter-Strike: Source and Half-Life 2. Essentially though, LGW will be a Half-Life 2 Modification the same way Day of Defeat is to Half-Life 1. LGW won't draw any story elements or characters from the Half-Life universe. There will be no gravity guns or combine.

Halflife2.net: The first release your team has coming is the Pacific Theatre of Operations. What can you tell us about that concept?

Mith: The Pacific Theatre of Operations in World War II involved Allied forces pitted against the Empire of Japan. Hollywood only tells us the story of the US Marines island hopping throughout the pacific, and while LGW will cover some of the island hopping campaign, we'll also tell more of the untold stories in the pacific. Japan's goal was to push western influence and western colonies out of the Pacific. This also brought the Russians, Australians, Canadians, and British into conflict with Japan. You'll be seeing some of the battles they fought against the Japanese as well. The pacific will be a welcome change from the European feel of Half-Life 2. You'll be fighting in the jungles of the pacific, on the islands of the Philippines, or even in the ocean with the possibilities of naval battles.
