Ive been keeping my eye on this mod for what seems like years lol.. Every time i go scope out moddb i see it.. Its awesome to finally have a beta come out in a few weeks

I agree :p

My friend said it used to be like a halo dinosaur thing? maybe he was thinking of something else.

To an extent, you can read more in our FAQ:

http://www.orion-project.net/index.php?page=faq

Reason for the dinosaurs:

This is NOT on Earth.

The story starts millions of years ago. Billions even. Before Earth was even formed there was a large chunk of rock in the Milky Way. On this rock was bacteria and dust and chemical that later would ignite the evolution and basically us as we know it.

However, before the space rock had struct Earth it had hit an object and split into to distinct pieces. One rock landing on Earth and igniting evolution and growth here.

The other had zoomed passed Earth and out of the Milky Way. It landed on a planet which we later (in 2442) code-named Orion. This was our sister planet to every extent of that meaning. Same weather patterns, same growth patterns, same forms of evolution (although the Dinosuars never had gone extinct due to no ice age or volcanic eruption (whatever you may believe) ever occurring on Orion as it had on Earth.

What the fuck is the flag name for the model? lol, I cant find it..

oh thats because its a placeholder! haha.

search for the word "bomb" in the model searcher.

its the Helicopter Bomb model from HL2 only re-skinned with a sprite attached to it (the yellow and red things).

We'll be replacing this flag shortly.

haha, that why I could never see it; I had put the filter to just orion so I could load faster. Thanks! now I can have a proper flag lol

Sorry for having to ask this noob question, but I'm pretty much a new PC gamer (Console Only for the longest!) and haven't been on steam that long (Maybe 6-8 months... But only had Counterstrike Source) to figure out how things work.

Anyhow, I downloaded the Orion Source: 1.2 which is a mod for Half Life 2 correct?

If so, I guess that means I have to purchase Half Life 2 in order to gain access to 1.2?

If so that will kinda suck, because I already own the Orange Box for 360. XD

I bought a bunch of games during the Steam Holiday sale which includes TF2... but I guess that doesn't matter too much does it?

Will the Orion Prelude beta still require Half Life 2?

If so, then I'll suck it up and buy HF2. If HF2 is not needed then that will be great!

But yes you need a source game to play source mods.
