Introduction For some strange reason I started thinking about the old fisherman character in The Lost Coast and I thought that he might make an interesting character to make a mod around. Below you will find a couple of skeleton ideas for some mods.

About eXterminate is a FPS type mod in pure kill-everything-that-moves style. I’ts very similiar to the classical game Phobia II, with the exact same same point: Kill as many things as possible before you die.

About So, the plan is real simple, Gordon. You and Crazy will charge in, grab some guns, and let us out of the cells. Once we’re out, well…we’ll figure it out from there.

Introduction Everything mass-produce is simply a replica. Just a copy, an almost perfect copy of a prototype. It does its job and we forget it. What makes something that is hand-made different? The fact that each one is slightly different. That’s the basis of the world of art. A painting, sculpture, concerts and plays are [...]

About The main hero (Jack Whyton) is a prisoner, who escaped from prison together with others. But on the second day their hideout was already attacked by cops. Jack managed to escape from the police. But he didn’t know that he is the subject of a very dangerous experiment and that some kind of xen [...]

Introduction For those that don’t know (is that possible?) the Source engine used to power Half-Life 2 and a number of other games include the ability for developers to insert comments anywhere within the game. This allows them to discuss certain design features, gameplay decisions etc. It’s a great idea but one that I believe [...]

I found these images recently and immediately thought they would make a great level for a Half-Life 2 Mod.

It could be part of a large puzle, meaning that certain actions have to be performed before the ship reaches the dock, get the electricity working, open the gears etc.

I have no idea where this is, so if you have any information please contact me.

After explosion of the Citadel, G-man immerses Gordon Freeman in stasis, but after a while deduces it from there for the new mission.

Using this teleport, it is necessary reach the Combine world and to destroy their leader.

About Dark Goverment Forces lead by the shadowy agent know only as “The Administrator” have taken control of the Black Mesa complex.

This device must not be used or it could spell doom for our entire planet. [...]

About The mod is a hazard course, where you are a member of staff in a training facility for Bio-tec research. During your training terrorists ambush a colleague and gain entry to the facility.

In Socialist Tension, you are in the role of a Contract killer, who was sent to City 17 for his next assighment. His client, one of the citizens of City 17 wants you to assassinate Dr. Breen and put an end to his domination. But he doesn’t know that the “death” of Dr. Breen will lead to tragic consequences and thus your only hope is to get out of City 17 as soon as fast.
Good luck.

Introduction I’m not the first to discuss this, nor the last, but whilst there are many aspects about Valve that really annoy me, I can’t help but congratulate them on their creativity. The image above (Sorry it’s not very clear!) is taken from the video below of a newly discovered weapon, from HL2 Ep1, which [...]

This mod continues the story where Half-Life 2 finished and offers one possible scenario. After the big explosion you fall to the ground and are very badly injured. Some people find you and take you home to a small village outside the city where the citadel was built. After 3 months you’re strong again and want to fight on

Here is another collection of images that I think would make either a great level or at least provide inspiration for one.

These images come from Russia. To my knowledge they are not part of the normal underground system.

Any extra information about them would be appricated. If you know of similar types settings please contact me.

I want to challenge a gameplay concept that we take for granted. It’s been on my mind for a while now but starting Half-Life 1 Episode 1 brought it to the forefront of my thinking. The weapons included in a game are one of the most, perhaps THE most, important element of that elusive thing [...]

About Author’s Note: “This map takes place in some sort of Egyptian tomb, where you will find combat as well as some little puzzle solving. It’s longer than Vilcabamba and better designed IMO. Custom textures by me, so I apologize if some of them look cartoony. Enjoy the map.” Reader Recommendations3 recommendations, average score: 3.33 [...]
