Alright man, dont take these guys seriously. They treat each other badly nevermind the newbies. Sorry you got flamed and all that ****.
So guys, this is the great plan? Make a huge move to revatilize the community through exposure and mods and such, then when new people show up we yell at them and drive them away? Settle down and play nice damnit, cause you're all ( ok *most people in the thread *) acting like a bunch of self-righteous assholes.
Now then, zinjo, welcome to the HLPBB. Dont take it too harshly. Theres always room for new people, especially those willing to help out with the community. About your idea of making an FS2 ISO. I think its a great idea if you can pull it off and get hosting for it. The next hurdle would be how to advertise the existence of it, though thats another story. As for hosting, try contacting deepeyes, he has a thread about hosting community projects, its either on the first page or the next. I assume Gamespy would have some problems with hosting the file, so outside hosting would probably be needed. If you send me the ISO I could put it up on Bit Torrent, which would get a few people interested atleast.
I agree with you that the dead projects should be ackowledged as such, and their staff moved to other projects which actually have a chance of bieng finished. I'de rather have 5 go, clean solid campaigns then 20 or so unfinished crappy ones. Ofcourse, who gets to decide which ones get worked on and which ones dont. I think for example that Reciprocity, TVWP, Inferno, OTT and a few otherones should the most promise, as well as bieng the most complete. If someone hasnt already done it, I'll try to do a status check with the leaders of each project, to see whats feasible.
Anyways, welcome again, always glad to see new blood here.
