Gameplay
Swarm is a class-based teamplay modification. The mod consists of two Races: Human and Xen,
Swarm 2 will initially support all TFC gametypes.
Swarm will default as Combine Vs Xen, but mappers can choose to make combine vs combine, or xen vs xen maps.
We hope mappers will keep the story line within reason when creating maps, but if people like that kind
of gameplay we will just go with it.
Once all TFC gametypes are supported, we will move to support Onslaught and assualt game types.
A more indepth discussion of the SWARM game play system is available here.
A discussion of the SWARM worldcraft FGD file is available here.
Maps rotate as they would in a normal Half-life game, either by score or by a time limit. Your team may choose to operate as a team, or alone. The mod is best played strategicly, using all of the variously classes abilities together to win a round.
Swarm is compatible with HL2DM maps. Swarm will default to Team Deathmatch mode on these maps.
