  • The Specialists 2.0 (121.6 MB)
  • The Specialists team, started 2 years ago by Morfeo and John_Matrix’s direction wanted and wants to create a mod for the great, famous and best-seller Half-Life, in which there are two primary objectives for the team to reach: Action movies’ gameplay style but also credible realism, both for guns and their damages. Firefights, depending from the various gameplays that will be listed, will be both spectacular due to our “stunt” moves as well as spectacular for a new implemented particellar system, new muzzle flashes and weapons' realistic power. Players can shot down an enemy just with a burst of 9mm as well as a single shotgun shot. Users will be able to choose if behave as an “action man” (use of light equipment, small caliber guns) taking advantage of their agility or behave as a “specialist” using large caliber weapons, which affect agility but improve firepower. It’s also possible to close any encounter with an headshot, which is, almost in all cases, lethal... But now don’t stay here, take a look to all “The Specialists” (TS from now on) new features!

There are MANY other new features on 2.0 not only the ones i've enlisted. For ANY other question/new feature about the mod, PLEASE read the MANUAL, that is located in your "TS" directory follow this path: "x:/Half-Life/TS/TSmanual/TSmanual.htm". The MANUAL can be viewed HERE. Notice that there will be some moves that will not be explained in the manual, i'm referring to kung-fu and katana specifically, you will have to experiment or wait for others who will discover them...FORUMS ;)
