Rebellion is a multiplayer modification for Half-Life 2 that is based on the week long insurrection against the Combine during the Half-Life 2 storyline.

There will be two gameplay modes implemented in the modification; cooperative and team based multiplayer. Both modes are based around assault and defense gameplay, where one team defends an objective from the other team. However, in cooperative play, the players will be the guerilla rebellion forces defending against the Combine forces. There will be a constant shortage of ammunition in cooperative mode, so the guerilla forces must use any obstacles and potential traps in the area to their advantage. In team based multiplayer, the two teams will be placed in their respective roles (assault and defense). Once one team completes the objective, the teams will switch and the other team will have to complete the objective faster than the other team. If the offensive team fails at any time, then the other team wins. If they win, then it switches again and the other team must beat the time set by the previous team.

In cooperative mode, there will be two classes -- medic and defender -- that the player may choose from. The medic will have the ability to heal as well as revive any nearby teammates (before the reinforcement timer runs down), but will not be able to carry the pulse rifle and the rocket launcher. The defender will be able to carry every weapon, but of course, cannot heal nor revive. The classes for the team based gameplay mode have yet to be determined, although we are leaning toward having no classes at all. Suggestions are welcome, of course.

The Combine forces in cooperative mode will always equal to double or triple the amount (or any other ratio that the server administrator wants) of the players in the game.

The levels will both be modeled after the existing HL2 campaign levels, as well as original Eastern European architectual design loosely based off of City 17. There will also be original level designs that will somehow relate to the Half-Life 2 universe.

Currently, we are looking for coders, mappers, and map modelers. If you are interested, contact Merc248, or hop on the Rebellion website and let us know.
