been gone for a while, but came back with a new idea, a Half Life 2 based RPG. where you either play a Civilian turn member of the resistance, or a Civil Protection member (i'll explain if you don't know the story). This will take place in City 17, and the other places near it, starting at the beginning of the revolt.
Backstory: some time in the 2000's a research facility called Black Mesa was testing with a strange and unknown crystal. But in one of the tests, the crystal suddenly, and furiously began to cause discrepancies in the equipment causing explosions and destruction, and teleporting strange aliens all over the facility, mercilessly killing everyone, people began fleeing towards the surface of the facility, but in a matter of hours Marines began landing and killing everyone as well, trying to contain the outbreak and keep it under wraps. Though they failed and the rip between Earth, and the alien world "Xen" widened. letting an assortment of aliens through, including the Combine. After the combine came through they started a war with all of earth, which ended in a matter of hours with billions dead, Peace, negotiated by Dr. Wallace Breen has caused a military state rule over earth, with Breen as a spokesperson of sorts. the Combine have a complete dominance over earth, but the people left are not happy at all, they started a resistance, at first small and weak, but it grew as more people joined, and now due to recent events, they are starting to revolt against their masters and this is where the game begins.
The two basic 'classes': instead of having a set of classes, i'll let you make your own class as the game moves on.
Combine Civil Protection: the lowest rank of combine forces, still completely human, but wear white masks that seem to be a gasmask of sorts, and use vocorders to hide their voice. Equipment:Combine Mask, light bullet resistant vest, leather boots, black-green uniform, Stun baton.
Resistance: mostly citizens, paired with a Xen alien race called the Vortigaunts, previously slaves of a large entity called the Nihilanth but now allied with the resistance against the Combine. The citizens themselves are oppressed people angry towards the combine. Equipment:Citizen Clothes (basically a blue boiler suit), Suitcase containing misc. items

I try to stand up and get my bearings as quick as possible, then turn around to see who and what just hit me. I charge at the person in attempt to knock the metal object from their hands, and then proceed to batter them with the baton.
And yeah, assarb doesn't know what he's talking about, he never has. You shouldn't listen to him.

I calm myself and rub the back of my head. Now I want to know was the other guy in on it? If so, I teach him with my baton too, but if not then I do what I was going to do last time; I go find my partner and report what happened.

"Son of a...!" I grab him by the shirt and throw him on the ground, and then kick him and beat the ever loving crap out of him with my stun stick. After that I really strive to get back to my partner.

Oh.. right... I knew that.. of course...
I use the radio to say "I need some assistance over here, floor 2 apartment 2!"
I try my best to disarm the one with the pipe and get at least one of them stunned, but if they keep attacking I will focus on avoiding them.

you attempt to disarm him, but when you grab the pipe, he elbows you in the gut, and you radio the others, but as you hear thundering steps come up, an alarm goes off
"Anti citizen behavior detected in block 9, all units relocate there. Find. Suppress. Eradicate."
You see a Strider and a few APC's thunders pass the apartment, and even the citizens are awed by it.

I use the moment of awe to take out the citizen with the pipe, and then quickly use the plastic handcuffs to constrict the drunk one onto a nearby pipe, heater, etc..
If I'm successful at that, I then leave the place and head to block 9

you manage to catch them off guard, and move off to Block 9, the strider is stopped there and the APC's unloading more CP's, more heavily armed, you are at a small quickly made HQ, with ammo and weapons lying around on crates, you spy a Pistol, a deactivated Manhack, and 2 laser tripmines (you can have the pistol, and either the mines or the manhack)

I get to the shooting scene and take cover. From there I will see who is shooting, and then fire back.
