The Specialists is a modification for Valve's famous first-person shooter, Half-Life. It is a real fusion of ideas, taking inspiration from such famous Hollywood movies as Face/Off and The Matrix, mixed with the Hong Kong "Blood Opera" style of directors such as John Woo. All of this is added to classic yet innovative deathmatch and team play game types and mixed with an arsenal of realistic weapons, real freedom of movement, a great selection of maps and serious amounts of carnage.
