Start with a mod description. This should be a general overview of what the mod is and maybe what sets it apart from other mods in its genre.  This is broad information and can include what the mod is now as well as what is intended for the future.
The Battle of Philadelphia is a Half - Life 2 modification set in the Half - Life universe. The story chronicles the city of Philadelphia, USA in the weeks following the events of city 17. This project will be distributed for free and released incrementally in chapters, though the first release will contain the first 2 or 3 chapters. Only owners of Half - Life 2 will be able to play it (an instillation of Steam and HL2 is required). "The Battle of Philadelphpia" places an emphasis on characters and their extroardinarily difficult situation, and as such will involve story advancement through npc dialogue and their conveying of emotion.  This will be familiar to players of Half - Life 2.

History

"The Battle of Philadelphia" has been in development for a little over a year. In that time there have been a couple of drastic "turn - arounds" regarding the development, such as changes to map layouts, changes to graphics, and changes in the script. Thanks to these changes, the mod is now on a more steady path forward.
