2007 - 2008 | Last Hope // Crysis Modification
This Crysis mod is not directly related to the original X-COM Last Hope project. After the original lasthopemod.com domain was abandoned, a separate team coincidentally chose the same name for their Crysis total conversion. While unrelated to the X-COM inspired Half-Life mod, we document this curious coincidence as part of the "Last Hope" naming legacy.
The true continuation of the original X-COM Last Hope project is X-COM: Last Hope Neo for Half-Life 2/Source.
In 2007, a separate team created a total conversion for Crytek's Crysis under the name "Last Hope." With a completely new team and a fresh creative vision, this project set out to create an original sci-fi storyline about humanity's last stand against an alien invasion.
The Crysis mod featured the Earth Scope - a planet-wide orbital shield defense grid - the Slaver Horde alien invaders, and the United Earth Coalition (UEC) military forces fighting to reclaim humanity's home.

"The year is 2214. Our once great planet Earth is now all but an apocalyptic wasteland. The Horde has taken control of our planet, and we are almost helpless to stop them...

We are our Last Hope."
