Torn is back in development

Team or no team, Torn is back into it's full development. Mapping will continue of the first chapter, Area 51, and once we've got enough to show, the first media release will become a reality.


Where, when and how?

When it has been finished, Torn will be on steam. Whether it is free or not shall be decided by the quality of the final product. (Whatever the cost, it wont empty your wallet.)

Requirements

In it's current state, Torn requires both the base content (Comes with any game), and Counter-Strike: Source. Who knows, maybe we'll get permission to release the content with the mod. Maybe.


Story

Torn is a 3rd party mod following the story of Jack Harrison, an ex-soldier praised for his combat abilities. Praised as the best soldier ever to fight, Jack has been sent to Area 51 to arm him with the machinery and equipment that the scientists of Area 51 have spent so long creating, ready for the battle that the employees of Area 51 have bene dreading for so long. A batallion of unknown alien ships are hurtling towards the Earth, abducting humans and taking them away to be cloned and experimented upon, eventually building the most destructive army ever to set foot on the Earth's surface.

However, not all experiments were successful, so the hybrids were healed, equip with a dumb mechanical brain, armed with a chunk of metal and sent to the Earth in meteor type vessels, each containing a small group of the creatures. Due to the rag covering their true identity, these are known as Shroudlings.

The invasion of these creatures startled the citizens of Earth, and their only hope lies on Jack Harrison, and the army of cybernetic Humans that Area 51 have been cloning rapidly.
