Half-Life² : Mobsters Design Document v.1 By: Jason Kerr - Mobsters Development Team Lead & Lead Mapper. Mobsters will be a First-Person Shooter modification for Half-Life 2. There are three main game types that we will be exploring and variety of levels for each. The three main types of game play that will be released with the first version of the game will be Assassination, Prison Escape, and Robbery. Game Types: Assassination In this type of game play the user will join either the Cops or the Mobsters, and then will re-spawn and either have to protect their Mayor, police chief, etc. from being assassinated or assassinate the Don or Mob boss. The mobsters will have to guard the AI controlled gangster leaders from an onslaught of FBI, whose sole aim is to take down the target. Levels will include lavish Hotels to small town houses and apartments on the streets of New York, Chicago and England. In this feature there will be a limited arsenal for both teams. The Police unfortunately won't have the ideal weaponry for assassination and will have to find unconventional means of assassination. The Mobsters on the other hand will have Molotov cocktails and sticks of dynamite to blow up the cars that these people are traveling in. Bank Robbery In this type of game play the user will be have the same options of either joining the Cops or the Mobsters. After re-spawning into a new round the players on the Police force will be at the police station and will be alerted of where the bank robbery is taking place. Police Force The police will have four types of vehicles that will be allowed to be taken to the robbery site. The first type will be the normal police car, equipped with sirens, 2 shotguns and 2 sets of armor in the trunk. The second type of police car will be the K-9 unit car. This is an optional car that can be taken. There is an optional dog in the back of the car and you can use the dog (K-9 unit explained in weaponry) to track the Mobsters as they are fleeing from the robbery scene. The third will be an armored vehicle of the 1930's era. The last type of vehicle is the paddy wagon this will be taken if the cops desire to take a mobster prisoner. If this car is not taken the the officers can not taken in more then one mobster at a time (or however many cop cars are taken). The advantages of the police taking Mobsters prisoner will be that they will have access to the weaponry of the mobster team (other then picking it off the street from a dead body). You will also gain the cash that will be put towards the police force, giving them access to better weaponry, amour and cars. Mobsters The Mobsters will re-spawn at the bank that will be their first target. They will be given enough cars outside of the bank to get away with, but, if they get to greedy and the cops arrive before they can get away and get into the vault. Then the Mobsters will have to run away or struggle with getting a car out of police barricades. The Mobsters will be ailed with the fact that the more money they carry away for their Boss, the slower they will run. The mobsters will start with lower end weaponry in the first round, pistols, dual pistols and a rifles. The more money and the better job they do for the Don will reflect in what they are given in the second round when they are given a bank to rob and they have to get there. If the mobsters do not gain enough money from the first bank robbery then they will not be able to afford cars to get to the next bank, or enough cars to get everyone to the bank. The less money you get from the first robbery will mean that the bank will be closer to the Mobster hide out so that they have a chance to get good enough weaponry to survive. Jail Break The third type of map style is Jail Break. A type of game play that will see the revolt of the prisoners and an attempt at escaping. Police Force The police force will have different arsenal of weaponry to your choice, sniper rifles, pistols, shotguns and much more. The job of the police force is to keep the prison inmates from escaping. They will re-spawn in towers, in jail corridors and other random places in the jail, and after a certain amount of time the riot will start. Police officers will have to run to different locations to grab the weaponry, you will not buy it but it will be situated in an area that will help the area. i.e. if you are in the yard and in a tower on the wall you will have access to sniper rifles. If you are on the inside of the prison you'll have access to shotguns and pistols. One person will be given the warden designation. This will give the most experienced player in the server the warden position so that he knows where to take the keys to help the team the most. The warden can lock certain sections of the jail as well as has access to supply rooms. He can be taken prisoner. The warden will have bodyguards when the riot takes place. Mobsters The mobsters will re-spawn in a jail cell and when the gates open they can use anything they can find to bust out of the jail cell. Garbage cans, chairs, mops, brooms, stuff in the weight. Whatever is physically possible to throw they can use. You can pick up weapons of police officers you kill but it will take more then just throwing the garbage can at him once to kill him. You will have to use unconventional means and a couple of team members to escape. The emphasis is on the Mobsters to work together to escape and win the round.

Cars 1936 3 litre Golden The 20.9 in 1931 got a revised chassis and changed its name to the Golden and continued in theory until 1937 although few were made after about 1933. In 1931 four body styles were listed priced at a not inconsiderable £1050 for the limousine, £1075 for the enclosed landaulette and £795 for the aero or the fabric saloon. Some up market variants being known as the Super Six. About 100 of all variants were made. The Silver The 15.7 in 1930 gained a centre gear change and Perrot-Bendix brakes and became known as the Silver sharing its 10 ft 3in chassis with the Golden. As was the fashion at the time its four speed gearbox featured twin-top gears with a "silent third". Top speed was now quoted as 70mph. The 10hp range Three cars were entered in the 1932 RAC Rally by C J Joyce, of London's Pass and Joyce car dealers, with a new style of bodywork to his design made by James Young and won the Autocar Trophy for best coachwork on a light car. One car was driven from London to Edinburgh in the "amazing time of 8 hours 25 minutes" and on his arrival at the finish in Torquay the "comfort and driving ease may be judged by the fact that Mr Joyce , instead of going straight to bed as did most competitors, was able to go and play a round of golf". 1932 10hp Torquay saloon By the mid 1930's the Torquay and Buxton were looking old fashioned and so Gordon Macandrew took action by getting C F Beauvais of the Avon Motor Bodies to design new coachwork. Crossley adopted a conservative rendition of this into production in 1935 as the Regis, which was mechanically very similar to the previous 10's but lower and longer. The wheel diameter dropped from 18 to 16 inches. However, in the end very few of the Crossley version were made as the paying public preferred the original Beauvais design and this was made as a saloon or tourer. The new car was heavier than the old "tens" and the performance suffered so a six cylinder "Regis 6" 1500cc 12hp engined version also appeared which was later also available as a 1650cc model. This was tested by The Motor in 1936 who found it "A lively car which is easy to drive. Well planned coachwork and comfortable springing are features". Performance figures measured were a maximum of 66mph with a 0-50 time of 25 seconds. Fuel consumption was 21-25 mpg. The Regis Even though by the mid 1930's most car production was restricted to the 10 and 12 hp models, development had not stopped on the larger cars and in 1934 the final updating of the 15.7 Silver was made with the 2 litre Sports Saloon with new chassis and running gear and modified engine. Wilson pre-selector gearboxes were used. The Motor found it "speedy refined and comfortable" capable of 76mph with a 0-60 time of 25 seconds in 3rd gear. An overall mpg of 17.4 was recorded. The 2 litre Sports Saloon What turned out to be Crossley's last car design to enter production was a 3 litre Sports Saloon. This involved fitting the Golden engine into the Silver chassis and was shown at the 1934 Motor. It made a final appearance, along with the Regis, at the 1935 show with a new 4 light body by C F Beauvais but few were sold. Estimates of production figures vary between 10 and 20 cars with possibly 5 going to Australia in chassis form. One survives in Australia but no longer with the original body ___________________________________________________________________________________ © Copyright 2003 Jolt Online Gaming and HL: Mobsters team.
