Until the year 2006 I played every map-mod as soon, as I could download it. And I can say that I played almost every HL1 SP map-mod at those days (above 400). Since 2006 I mostly saved all mods "for a rainy day". So, this "day" came suddenly for me and I decided to play again. I just finished all single maps and small mappacks (including all realeses from TWHL) and got to play "mods" (released by authors as games that you can choose from in-game menu). I'm started from small mods, and I will finish with big ones. So, all the fun is yet to come! I’am HL1 player. Until the year 2006 I played every map-mod as soon, as I could download it.

Old habit since Q2 days. Back then i played mods for some shootergames (Q2,HL,U/UT,JK&MotS,Thief). Since a couple years im a bit choosy and only play the big ones or map packs that look worthwhile. I rarely play single maps except for FC or Crysis. Usualy i play mods as they are released. Old habit since Q2 days. Back then i played mods for some shootergames (Q2,HL,U/UT,JK&MotS,Thief).

But mostly I leave them for a rainy day. Exceptions are mods I've been following, mods and maps that get play it nows with a lot of praise on here and things that just look really good (visually mostly) to me.

So I download them, put them in my folder, wait until I have a bit time and then I make myself some kind of a hl2 evening or sometimes also a night.

But that counts only for hl1 mods. I don't play hl2 mods much except MP mods. Guess I just don't like the theme with the combine etc. If this mod seems to be good or the story sounds interesting then I play it asap. But that counts only for hl1 mods.

Londoners and the Home Counties keep the good weather to themselves. North of Watford (I'm in Nottinghamshire) it pours - buckets. Just joshing, we know what you mean.

If I find a load of maps or mods in one day from PP and other sites I download and save to desktop. I'll always play mods first and keep maps for a rainy day - but this is England and I can remember 2 or 3 days without rain this 'Summer'. If there are no mods, then I'll play the maps, each one thoroughly at each skill level, in order of smallest first. All maps are deleted once I'm done because then move on to the next map. I like to keep my Steam files clean. Mods are deleted if they have no replay value, those that have get the short cut stored in the 'Hidden Files' Folder to get replayed on a rainy day - so I'll need one tomorrow then.

When I read the comments and see a lot of "play it now" or "personal favorite" I usually download and play at once. (Research & Development for example) I do allways install the mod's right after downloading, so they are visible in my steam gamelist, otherwise I would forget them for sure. I actually have a few mod's in my gamelist for over a year and still have to start playing them (shame shame, I know, so much to do, so little time).

And where I live gets twice as much rain as London, UK, and I live in Spain! “Save them for a rainy day” is just an expression used to talk about time when you don’t have anything to do.
