A long time ago in a galaxy far far away...there was a mod called Dystopia RC1...

Today (18/02/2007) at 02:36am the Dystopia Version 1 release date has been announced!

Status: RELEASED

Many of you have probably never heard of the modification, nevertheless, it is one of the best mods I have ever played.

Quote from the official Dystopia site:

After spending over 3 years saying "when its done", I have the thrill of announcing that Dystopia Version 1 is in fact; done. We will be releasing it to the public next weekend. The exact times are:

12:00 a.m. Saturday February 24, 2007 in GMT
07:00 p.m. Friday February 23, 2007 in US EST
11:00 a.m. Saturday February 24, 2007 in AU ESDT

To celebrate we have a teaser trailer which shows off some of the exciting new features in Version 1. This video was created by The-Next, one of our fantastic supporters. It's a 28 meg video, encoded with divx 6.4.

What is Dystopia all about?

Dystopia is a Half-Life 2 modifcation which places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punks or Corp Mercenaries the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to cyberspace. Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the world's network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to hack into systems linked to the physical world, fight off enemy hackers or defend critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two.

The player will be immersed in action packed battles, whether as a heavily augmented combat mercenary armed to the teeth with the latest in firepower and implants, or a twitch reflex cyberdecker racing to infiltrate a cyberspace node. Only through skillful use of the high tech arsenal we're making available and intelligent team play will players truly jack-in and kick ass.

As a result of this release we will be setting up a server!

I am afraid that due to CPU usage we will be shutting down the Surf maps server to replace it with this for a certain amount of time (depends how popular it is).

Now, I would like every C2G Member to download this (requires HL2), you don't have to, but judging on how much I loved RC1, you will love this! If you did not like RC1, then please give this a try, it has been in development a long time and many improvements have been made.

Prepare for the best Saturday ever! Remember, the more the merrier! (It will be quite a large download so make sure you start in good time).
