	Games - The Wastes

The Wastes is a total-conversion mod for Half-Life based in a post-apocalyptic/nuclear holocaust North America, where bands of surviors duke it out in an all-out deathmatch. The scenario and features are inspired by various post-apocalyptic fictional works of all sorts, such as the Mad Max movies and, as most newcomers to the community notice before anything else, the Fallout series of games.

The Wastes features akimbo weapons, player models including The Wanderer (as seen in the Fallout franchise) and Mad Max (known from the movies of the same name, most of all The Roadwarrior), over 6 different melee weapons including katanas, sledgehammers, spears, bats and, if one downloaded the custom model, a pink lawn flamingo. The environments are harsh wastelands from blistering hot deserts to icy frozen mountains, as one could expect from a post-nuclear game.

The Wastes: Source

The team is currently working on a version of the modification for Half-Life 2, taking advantage of the impressive Source Engine, and it's progressing at a seemingly steady rate. This version is intended to include teamplay options, as opposed to the original version of The Wastes; although the original was, admittedly, supposed to include such features in a later version.
