Keep an eye out for myself, WhoMe (Hand Me The Gun And Ask Me Again) and Ekaj in NW... <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> Dietz, Gonnas, and Ferret also will be lending a hand.

HLSR: The truth about that. The mod is a ripoff, they DID steal code from HLRally. If you go in their forums and say 1 little thing about hlrally... well, i did and got banned.
HL2: Actually, there already is a new engine made, and is being used by a new 007 game. Expect it, search for it. you can find pics of it somewhere.
I heard some talk about Counter-strike so I thought I'd just mention Counter-Strike: Condition Zero which valve is making. Looks pretty good in my opinion and it has a single player game so I'm looking forward to it. No one mentioned the Resident Evil mod either. Everyone pretty much forgot about that one but they are making progress... I think. But right now NS is my biggest thing to wait for. Anyone here ever play S&I? That was a fun mod too, I guess you could say it's kind of like a watered down more comical version of NS. But anyway back to the main idea. <span style='color:red'><b>... NO</span></b> Or wait a second that wasn't the question <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> Oh yeah I think Half-ife still has a few good years left in it.
Yeah, a lot of us here are big S&I fans. It's a lot of fun, and a new release which is mainly a big graphical revision is coming. Sadly, the dev team has been too busy to work on it much as of late <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->
Heh, screw ESF. Dragon Mod Z all the way. ^^ Gotta love the style of fighting in thaty game. No more pressing 2 3 and whatnot to bring up a weapopn menu. Thou must learn move combonation like any fighting game. ^^
I love Vampire Slayer! I always play as a vampire. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> It´s so fun to chase those damn slayers. It has also some excellent maps.
Sorry for bringing threads up from the dead, but I just joined the forums, so I have a lot of reading to do.
I think the HL engine is one of the best out there, even by todays standards. Most of the new engines just don't have the feel that I like. Sure they are prettier to look at, but often the player animations just seem off. Look at SoF2, when people run or strafe it just looks odd to me.
I think the HL engine still has some life in it. It has been around a long time, and it will have to be replaced, soon with the way games are incorporating more vehicles and aircraft, to keep up.
My point wasn't that there aren't any good mods in development - but that NS is going to be the last TFC/DoD/CS-scale mod to come along. I've actually been playing Pirates, Vikings, and Knights a lot lately, and it only has three servers up, but it's a blast.
The "Public Enemy" mod that was revealed on Planethalflife recently looks great, too... Their maps have to rival NS's for pure "purdiness".

I don't think -anything- is the last hurrah. There's still active Doom, Quake, and even Quake 2 communities -- even without the whole "open source" thing that the engines now enjoy, heh... <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
Even with all these new games coming out, people are still going to make quality content for Half-Life for years to come. A game that's lasted this long in an industry and community where most don't last more than a few months will take years more to wither down to even 'standard' game levels.
Seeing as Half-Life still boasts more players online than most other FPSes combined at any given moment... I wouldn't plan on HL going anywhere anytime soon.
Oh, and if that last "realism" comment relates to NightWatch in any way, shape, or form, I'll have to impale you. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
You guys realize that public enemy has a cs gameplay? <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> PE type = u gotta take the hacker to the terminal and hack.....

I wanted realism, I'd play Ghost Recon, then go outside and eat a plant.
It WILL be interesting is to see what game will be the "next half life," if such a thing is possible, to match that sort of fanbase, and have that active of a modding community...
I'm sure it will be done, btu it will have to be something like Doom 3, something that everyone and their mother will want to play. And Brother. And Father. And Sister. And Cat.

Hostile Intent looks amazing, too bad I've been watching it progress and then degress since before I was playing CS beta 1.
