This Friday brought about some wild Steam news update action by telling you about a couple of mods and deals. Slow news week? You bet your leftover turkey it was!
Two Source-powered mods worth your attention have just been updated.I'll hopefully get the Left 4 Dead preview sorted out sooner, rather than later. So keep an eye out for that in the next couple of weeks!
Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat is a squad-based, multiplayer total conversion for Half-Life 2. Insurgency simulates modern infantry combat and encourages the use of teamwork and tactics to take down the enemy. The team updated their BETA 2 with a new commander promotion system, new classes, and a new night map (Ins_Samawah). Check out their new trailer.
The Empires team has released the second version of their Half-Life 2 mod, which combines real-time strategy and first person shooter genres. Each game team has four classes to choose from (scout, rifleman, grenadier, and engineer), each with unique weapons and skills. One person from each team becomes the Commander and leads his team to victory using an RTS-like game interface and an adjustable top-down view of the battlefield. Watch the trailer over here.
