Starting in an underground prison cell, you need to fight your way to the surface.

Once there, you will find a train station and hopefully a train will lead you to your next encounter.

The final challenge is a Combine chopper, that won’t be easy to destroy.

This is a PlanetPhillip exclusive! This mod contains two maps that were built as proof of concept maps for the 99 Bolts: Chasing Winona mod.

Your main weapon, as the name suggests, is the crossbow, although you do collect other weapons on the way.

The first map is an open area with irradiated areas that you must avoid, it also contains friendly and enemy rebels. The second is a labyrinthine collection of corridors that you must traverse to get some grenades that allow your rebel friends to enter in the city.

A large, open area map with more headcrabs and zombies than you can shake a stick at. Plenty of ammo and health to keep you amused for at least 15 minutes. It’s apparently based on a real location in Siberia.

A story based mod that leads you through a variety of interesting environments to your ultimate objective.

Camp Trip combines the gameplay of a first person shooter with the structure of a role-playing game. Players find and receive quests, exploring a story-rich environment and battling the combine.

“What is this! Gordon Freeman, thank god you are here. Please help us with our major dilemma we just got word from a nearby outpost that combine are coming this way! Stock up on the remaining ammo and take on the incoming combine before they destroy us. This map is all about stationary fighting, you are confined to a building or if your bold the outside of a building. Combine rush in from everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE. Take your gun and start defending against the Combine Attack”

This is both a playable level and an investigation into “how players absorb critical information”. Don’t expect anything too clinical because this is definitely a level where you will have to play to win.

You play as a Combine soldier, who is part of a squad sent to destroy a rebel missile base.

Your objective is to set two charges deep within the base.

You will also need to stop the launch of a missile and then make a hasty escape from the base before it explodes.

There doesn’t seem to be a story but the objective is fairly clear. Get the HEV suit, find more batteries and use the elevator.

There are two puzzles and plenty of action, which should leave you wanting more.

Reach the vortigaunt for a mini-speech and the map ends.

Author’s Note “Crimson Dawn is a single-player map made for Half-Life 2. The goal is to make your way in to the coastal city, and help your squad and the Resistance Force assault the cities’ Main Supply Depot building to cut off the supply route for the Combine. I designed, built, textured and lit the entire level.”

You find yourself on a ship heading towards a small dock.

A Combine Gunship is shadowing your every move and the only thing to do is enter the barrel facility and escape using whatever means you can (conveniently) find.

A simple puzzle mod, with a little action and a brand new gameplay mechanic.

You are Frank Harrison, a rebel, who lives near City 17.

You wake up and find that the Citadel looks like it is about to explode and those scientists are urging you to flee the city.

No need to tell you twice! Off you go and good luck – you’ll need it.

Here’s a mod based off the Call of Cthulhu mythos. Work you way through the gardens and into the house. Can you follow the clues and reach the attic?

Combine forces are in the process of constructing a huge robot in an abandoned government fallout shelter outside City 17. The robot, codenamed “Das Roboss”, is the most destructive Combine creation yet. It makes Striders look like daddy long-legs.

This little map is the result of a challenge I gave Dylan when he said he was bored. It’s amazing what you can do with two hours!

A simple starting scenario: You find yourself in what appears to be an abandoned area. You need to make your way through the map and find the other rebels and help them escape.

This is a slightly more complicated sequel to Explosions 1.

Your objective is to reach the offices and enter the portal-type device.

Many obstacles block your way and the careful use of the exploding barrels will ensure your success.

The map starts with a women being guarded by a Combine Soldier. Nothing happens until you kill the gaurd and then all hell breaks loose! You need to protect her, if she dies then the map is over. To be honest I couldn’t finish this map without cheating and even then I died a hundred times.

Author’s Notes: “This is a single player Half Life 2 mod, set entirely outside of City 17. It features 6 levels of action, exploring a range of locations, non-linear level progression, a musical score, some new abstract textures and challenging gameplay. This mod is meant for those who have already completed Half Life 2″

“Tells the action packed story of a familiar soldier brought back to earth by the Gman for an unknown purpose. Use a Barnacle as a grappling gun to swing and pull yourself through levels.”

Set in an abandoned underground car park, you must fight the never-ending attack of various headcrabs.

However, all is not lost because you have a friendly Rollermine to assist you. Good Luck!

This mod was concieved as a never ending project. Unfortunately due to other commitments it had to be cancelled. This release is therefore promoted as a “proof of concept”

“After many wars between the humans and the Combine most of the technology is destroyed so people and Combine join forces against the only unaffected enemy – the undead. Of course not everyone is so happy about having the combine as a friends and you are one of those people.Your goal is to escape the prison you are thrown in and make your way to the freedom.”

The episode takes place during the events featured in the original Half-Life; specifically, the episode entitled On a Rail. The player plays John Skinner, a cleaner who wears a similar HEV suit to Freeman, and is hence mistaken for him by the military. Skinner’s objective is to destroy a surface-to-air missile launcher, which the military have brought in to take out the sattelite delivery rocket being launched by Freeman.

This is a cinematic portfolio piece. You and Alyx must support Echo Team in their attempt to attack Outpost 16.

Things don’t go quite the way you or they expected.

You have action and some puzzles to deal with, oh and don’t hang around looking at the beautiful view, if you linger you die!

In this map, the player takes control of Gordon Freeman as he flees from impending Combine forces. The chase takes Gordon into a dank section of City-17’s canals

The Citizen is set parallel to the events of the original Half-Life 2. The player takes the role of an ordinary man, pushed over the edge by the oppressive regime controlling his life.

A couple of distinct areas to find and kill the Hunters and Antlions. It’s not about the architecture in this map but the gameplay. My screenshots don’t show it but there is at least one Hunter and the Buggy is available. I’ll be honest and say I haven’t found the buggy yet and every time I fight the Hunter I die.

Another entry for a very old mapping competition. I am sure you will realize that this didn’t win!

You start off in a prison cell and things just get worse.

Can you survive the final test?

Can you find the hidden city? Plenty of driving and exploring required.

Are you brave enough to explore the G-Man’s mansion? In this slightly scary mod you have to work your way through a mansion looking for keys and fighting enemies. Expect some surprises and maybe a few hidden items.

Play in the dark with the lights out to get the best effect. Unless you are too scared. Want me to call your mommy?

Gordon Freeman is trying to help liberate City 16. He’s heading down the stairs to fight, but he’s going to have a nasty surprise. He’s trapped, and has to use his skills to try to help the citizens of City 16 without leaving the building.

Your brother has been taken by combine and your mission to get your brother back.

Your brother is in the Resistance but you prefer a more concilitary approach.

Unfortunately your brother is arrested by the Combine and tortured until he revealed some rebel secrets.

Like Zombies? Want to kill them and then “buy” upgrades? If you do then this could be the greatest map you play today!

Play in an arena with a number of areas, each with certain types of enemies. These enemies can chase you all over the place, so don’t relax.

Use your “cash” wisely to ensure the maximum amount of damage for the minimum amount of expenditure.
