There must be plenty of non-FPS games that could be made with the Half-Life universe. One question is whether it would dilute the brand.

Would you like to see the Half-Life universe extended into other gaming genres?

I’ve heard of people who have over 10Gb of maps and mods in their Steam folder. I normally delete a map or mod as soon as I have finished it but I keep local and offsite copies. What about you?

What do you do with maps and mods after playing them?

I’ve always been attracted by the screenshots. It’s pretty shallow of me because I should look deeper but I truly believe that a screenshot tells you a lot. Not just what you see but the effort put into taking them as well.

What attracts you most in a mod?

A beta of a never-finished 5 or 6 part mod. Simply escape from the Combine.

The amount of new maps and mods has taken a dip recently, although there seems to be a few good ones on the horizon, that didn’t stop me from wondering…
Is the lack of new mods due to episodic content?

You play the role of one of thousands of citizens who gave their lives on the day of the 7 hour war, the day the Combine brought the world to its knees in a mere 7 hours.

A simple premise: Set up your turrets and protect them, whilst facing 10 waves of various enemies. It sounds a little boring described like that but actually it’s not.

Communication with a laboratory has been lost and you and a small group of rebels have been sent to find out why.
