2 | ''[[http://www.dystopia-game.com/ Dystopia]]'' is a {{Cyberpunk}} themed [[GameMod total conversion]] {{FPS}} of ''VideoGame/HalfLife2'', created by an amateur development team (now ''Puny Human Games'') and released to the public for free. |
3 | |
4 | ''Dystopia'' places the player into tense combat situations in a high tech world spanned by computer networks. As either Punk Mercenaries or Corporate Security Forces the player will fight through the physical world to gain access, via jack-in terminals, to {{Cyberspace}}. |
5 | |
6 | Cyberspace is a three dimensional representation of the world's network. Inside cyberspace players will launch programs to [[HollywoodHacking hack]] into systems linked to the physical world while fighting off enemy hackers and defending critical systems. Gameplay progresses through inter-linked physical and cyberspace objectives, some are completed in either the physical world or cyberspace, others only by a well timed combination of the two. |

8 | !!This game provides examples of: |
9 | * AllThereInTheManual: The game has quite a deep setting, but the only way to find about it is to read the (now defunct and archived at time of writing)[[https://web.archive.org/web/20191221163444/https://www.dystopia-game.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page wiki]]. |

12 | * AttackDrone: The Spider Mine |
13 | * BodyArmorAsHitpoints: Armor has a certain hit point value and takes damage in place of some of your health, but it works differently. It takes double-damage from explosive weapons and half-damage from everything else. It also cannot be regenerated like health. |
14 | * BondOneLiner: The taunts. See the example on the page for a list. |

Global Warming has been halted, at the cost of the atmosphere now being filled with UH-4, a compound that is carcinogenic to life. The ozone layer has been split into ozone spheres...the list goes on. The game doesn't have the name Dystopia for nothing. |

37 | * IncrediblyLamePun: Some of these emitted by the heavy armor. |
