The Eternal Silence Website
offers the first beta release of this modification for Half-Life 2. Word is:
"Eternal Silence is a science fiction mod for Half-Life 2 which pits two capital
ships against each other in a seamless blend of space warfare and tactical
infantry combat. These two teams race to destroy each other in the depths of
space. Pilots coordinate strikes with invading infantry in order to take down
the behemoth capital ships from both the inside on-foot and the outside with
spaceships. Full of fast-paced action both in space and on foot, Eternal Silence
offers a seamless blend of two exciting genres." They offer downloads of the
game client as well as Windows and Linux dedicated servers, and a trailer
showing off gameplay for the curious.
