BACKGROUND STORY:
Project 421 was the brain child of Dr. Adelbert Hillebrand, he developed a
way to enhance the strength and abilities of the modern soldier thru a combination of genetic
engineering and nano technology. Thanks to the major technological advancements in cloning
in recent years, they can also be relatively cheaply reproduced, making it possible to create
armies out of single human specimen. This called for the sacrifice of many unquestioning
and unaware young patriots to supply enough specimens to conduct the research required to acquire
a suitable production specimen. Narrowing it down to two of the choices, both had to go through
painful "physical enhancements" to ensure obedience and prepare their bodies for the strain and
conditions they would be required to endure. Five clones were made of each subject so that
thorough physical and mental evaluations could be conducted.. These first subjects were
terminated once it was determined that some of their memories had triggered a violent panic
state followed by a small massacre of laboratory workers. Due to the high risk of mental
overload or breakdown involved, nanobots were injected into the next set of subjects and were
used to inhibit the free will of their host by distorting and redefining signals sent by their brains. It
was then discovered that without frequent attention, the nano bots would become ineffective in
controlling brain activity and the subjects, now conscious of their fate became even more violent.
A rage was let loose against the facility cracking walls, destroying equipment and killing nearly all of the
staff. Each subject had been genetically enhanced to be more physically capable, this somehow
severely altered their DNA, causing unexpected results. Ignoring the most important breakthrough in
the history of mankind, the project's funding was terminated and all witnesses and records ordered
destroyed. The Dr. was eliminated during the attempted Biological Shutdown of these "Subjects" after
enabling their escape. Suddenly, all over the world an army of super soldiers started striking Military
and Civilian targets in a seemingly random fashion. Growing to great power, and calling themselves THE
HAND OF GOD, these soldiers seemed unbeatable. Demanding nothing and causing widespread panic,
Something had to be done. With the late Dr.'s technology in their hands, the United States Gov't
declares war on H.O.G. with the creation of their own Meta-Soldiers... The (M)eta(R)esponse (F)orce.

Grenadier: Player has 4 grenade slots instead of 3 and can carry two of any grenade type instead of one ( up to a total of 4 ).
Silent Step: Cuts player walk\run down noise to 1/4.
Helmet: Adds a ballistic helmet and face mask, dampening head damage until it loses integrity.

I am still looking for help with modeling, animating and level design. The modeling and animation positions, primarily.
It has been a few months since I have updated. Work has not stopped, just have had a few unwanted breaks thrown in due to life. In the time since I last...
I spend too much time working\thinking about level design. This next update is going to be taking the most work to get completed as I am working on some...
The release is imminent! My main machine went down last night and so I couldn't get the last bit of work done but, I am pushing through on it now that...
Steam Group for organizing games and telling me to bugger off. Add me, ||sp.booger||, Steam Group invites for the group "Meta-Genesis."
!!!UPDATED TO FIX DEDICATED SERVER!!! DELETE OLDER VERSION BEFORE INSTALL Meta-Genesis changelog from version Alpha01a moving forward to Alpha01b. -Lance...
Here it is! This version of Meta|Genesis is being released specifically to get it out. There will be bugs, some non-game rule functionality still not...
Is this still alive?
Indeed! Complications in life have slowed my ability to stay up on communicating progress. There will be some announcements soon.
Played it, loved it.
It needs alot of work but this Mod is rich with potential.
Any plans on getting this to Steam?
My current plans are to put out a few more small and quick releases. Ill be adding a few more weapons, grenades and maps. In the near future, I'll be putting it up for Greenlight. Recently figured out how many eyes are on mods just having them as a vote able option. Apparently, I am starting a new tradition of every release I do, I break the dedicated server...so....ya.
Do you have a "Roadmap" of things you'll be adding as you Develop this?
Yes, although, some of it is dependent on me getting assistance....in multiple areas. Part of why I have this out is fishing for folks who see potential regarding level design\scenarios.
So what other Guns will you add?
Will there be like a Burst Fire Assault Rifle, Revolver, Magnum Pistol, DMR, Crossbow, or Grenade Launcher?
FYI, had to update download last night to fix dedicated server
The next weapon to be added is a taser for the pistol slot. Primary fire will shoot the charge and shock the target for a few seconds while secondary fire will work as a close range zap. I am working on getting it to tether to the target on primary fire but I'm not sure if I'll be able to get it exactly right. Flash nades and C.F.E.;s( Concussive Force Explosives ) are the very next things to add. As far as firing modes\scopes on new weapons...yes there will be weapons that qualify for what you ask, however, I am not sure if I am going to make most guns modular in that sense or just come a certain way by default. No current plans for revolvers or nade launchers....a mini, automatic x bow might be a thing at some point. There are a few things in the design doc I might also let go of...have to wait until I prototype them before I decide for sure( lasers! )
If anybody wants to play this or the mod author needs help testing you can add me on Steam: Certainly Syrix.
Also sorry for the double post, MODDB wouldn't let me edit the other.
