Half-Life 2: Mercenaries Mode

WARNING! This mod is incompatible with screen aspect ratios other than 16:9 as all of UI is done via game_text. Issues may range from undisplayed information to incorrect flickering

Requires Mapbase 7.0

A hardcore arcade game in which you have to survive and get the maximum amount of points within a time limit by killing enemies and getting power-ups. Inspired by a game mode from the Resident Evil series.

The rules are simple. You spawn on some place on the map with some weapons. Each enemy kill gives you a specific score and increases your combo. The bigger the combo, the more points you receive. You should get the highest score before the time runs out.

The level also features some powerups.

• The blue hourglass gives you BONUS TIME. During it you get a fixed amount of score for each kill, generally higher than normal.It's very useful for starting your combo chain.
• The yellow hourglass adds time to your clock to make your run last a bit longer.
• These powerups sometimes are already spawned on the map, and sometimes are triggered to appear with certain such as a high amount of kills on the map.

Beware of the boss.

During playthrough, you can unlock certain features, such as new parts of the map, power-ups and playing modes.

The mod currently features one map. More content, such as maps and characters, is to be added in the future if the response is positive. Have fun!
