The Battle of Philadelphia The Battle of Philadelphia (BOP) is a single-player Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2 modification set in the Half-Life universe. The story would have chronicled the city of Philadelphia, USA in the weeks following the events of City 17. This project would have been distributed for free and released incrementally in chapters. "The Battle of Philadelphia" was planned to emphasize characters and their extraordinarily difficult situation, and as such will involve story advancement through NPC dialog and their conveying of emotion. This would be familiar to players of Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2.

Requirements

As far as we know, this game will require an installed copy of Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2, as well as the SDK Base - Orangebox. There is some confusion, however It may be the case that any Source game would suffice (in place of Half-Life 2), but at this time the development team is unsure. we do know that it works with HL2.
