Ok, thought Dystopia deserves it's own thread. Dystopia is a Half Life 2 mod that Evernite, Estara, and I have been playing, along with a clan of some of my old gaming friends from Neocron. It's sorta like a combination between Counterstrike and the Matrix (Tron?), with a bit of a cyberpunk flavor.
The game has 2 sides, punks and corps, the punks usually are attacking and the corps defending. You switch sides at the end of each round. You fight and meet objectives both in a traditional FPS level (meatspace) and in a cyber environment (cyberspace). Your team has to work togethor in both worlds in order to accomplish anything.
The game has a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get passed that, it's a blast for some quick action. You have to have Half Life 2 already or just Half Life 2: Deathmatch (Runs for about $30 or $10 for HL2:DM and is downloadable via http://www.steampowered.com), but otherwise the mod Dystopia is free and available at http://www.dystopia-game.com

I remember seeing this mod in it's initial phases upon the release of Half-Life 2. I was interested at the time, but the bookmark is long since gone from my list. I'll check it out as soon as their website comes back up.

Cool Durk, yeah check it out. But be warned, this game involves a little bit more than 2-2-2-2-2-3.
