Overview

Evolution is a multiplayer modification for Half Life 2. It features at least 11 new levels, new weapons, 7 game modes, both old and new, and the ability to customize your character's abilities during the matches in order to tune your powers to different situations. -Taken directly from the FAQ.

  • Physical Strength - deal more damage, charge weapons, hit harder, and eventually shoot energy from the hands
  • Speed - run/reload/strike/move/everything faster, eventually leads to teleportation abilities
• New weapons designed around balancing the new abilities listed above
• New game modes using these abilities and weapons
• New maps to house these new game modes

History

This mod started as a basic idea back in 2003 and has grown to a full-fledged concept. Throughout the years, we have seen people come and go, which has stunted progress on the modification a great deal. It took about a full year, until the summer of 2004, for the concept for this modification to become solid. At that point, new members joined up, a new website was launched, and things were looking good. Eventually, a lot of the new members went onto better things, realising that their time would not be able to be spent on developing a modification of this size. So, Evolution is now on the lookout for ambitious people to add to this history, eventually pushing this mod to a releasable state for all to enjoy.
