Greetings, all. First time poster here, 2 year lurker.

I used the search function on all of the forums to look for any reference of this, but couldn't find any.

Has anyone else noticed how many ideas huxley shares with a previously released free mod for any source engine based game called Dystopia? Three classes, two sides, similar weapons, similar upgrades and other things. Nearly everything I've seen of the content in this game mirrors Dystopia, which had an official release over 2 years ago.

Thermal vision? Yes. Stealth? Yes. Spider grenades? Yes. Grenade Launcher? Yes. Some of these ideas are found all over FPS'es but there's a lot of really creative ideas that it seems have been borrowed.

Now I'm not accusing Huxley of "stealing" ideas (if there is such a thing), I'm just noticing how completely similar these two games are.

Dystopia. A Cyberpunk Game for the Source Engine.

Once again, I apologize if this connection has been noted before, but I couldn't find it.
