So, if any of you knew what it was already, that lovely cyber-punk mod for half-life 2 is finally out. For those who don't know what it is, follow the link! Anyways, Dystopia is a total conversion that runs primarily assault-style maps in a futuristic, (you guessed it) dystopian setting. You capture objectives through both physically mowing down your enemies, and through hacking doors, turrets, and spawn points through a lawnmower-man-esqe cyberspace environment. When you start out, you select a class (light, medium, or heavy), A primary weapon (four per class, including shotguns, laser rifles, bolt guns, tesla rifles, ion cannons, and more..), and finally implants (lighter classes have more head/body space for implants). All in all, a lot of work went into it, and I think many of you, even if you decide you don't like it (however unlikely), you will most likely realize it's quite creative and well-done. Anyways, on to the link!

*edit* Thought you guys might like to see a review, given the current state of the dystopia site. Here you go!

(P.S. Yes, I hope Gabe or Tycho mention the mod, and it would be even cooler to see em playing it!)
