Willard Network has many good things, and many bad things, but one thing that is bad but shouldn't be is the DAMN ATMOSPHERE!!!
The Why:
Willard, in itself, is an incredibly unique server with even more unique ideals and beliefs. For Christ sakes, we let Vortigaunts become loyalists! Yet, we are missing one of the core pillars of what makes HL2RP truly immersive! Proper atmosphere! While the server has exceptional ambient tracks and very well thought out careful map propping, it lacks the proper audio and visual effects.
Proposed Features
-- AUDIO
Ambient Dispatch and C24 Broadcasts
We're all aware of the classic City 24 dishonored style broadcasts from the original maps, Industrial 24 sadly misses these. There are also a plethora of Dispatch broadcasts that could be played ambiently, combined with some of the distant alarm sound effects from Half Life Alyx. Many of these lines and whatnot we have in the content pack as well!
Other Ambient Sounds!
The sounds of planes overhead, helicopters, distant striders, would all make great additions.
-- VISUAL
Raindrops showing up on gasmask and CP/OTA Visors when outside during rain.
Pretty self-explanatory. This feature would make small raindrops appear on your mask (if you have one) during rain. It can be enabled and disabled via settings of course!
Why would this benefit the server?:
The features proposed in this suggestion would benefit the server by raising the overall immersion for nearly all factions. Though these additions are relatively minor, I hope that they will be a perfect seasoning already for the server's immersion, combined with the exceptional ambient tracks.
