Mod not working?
An update by Valve to some Source engines has caused a number of mods to stop working properly and give errors.

OK! I can now say that the Complete Series does not work. For me atleast. So I downloaded the separate They Hunger 3 file from vgpro and it worked! Thank you guys for the help and for the save file so I don’t have to start all over. Wish I did not start right beside a headcrab lol but it’s all good, thanks.

Sometimes it doesn’t work with just one save, I’ve had the same problem, too. I don’t know why, or what other saves it needs. It’s a mystery!

Great. Forgot to post that I finished it. I loved the boss battles. Boss battles really make mods good for me.

I remember playing this mod back in 2001. This mod gave me the most enjoyment than any other that I’ve ever played! There were moments when I jumped in my seat when one of those mutated headcrabs sprang upon me! I love the custom models and voices added to the game as well as the integrated mix of combat and puzzles. The puzzles were never frustrating, unlike the jumping puzzles in many other mods. The final gunfight at the end of the third part was a bit frustrating, but I remember emailing Neil Manke, the creator, for help, and I actually got a friendly reply the next day! I strongly recommend this mod if you’ve never played it before.

I played this mod for the first time when my dad had a cracked old WON half-life disc with PC-Gamer’s promoted They Hunger. Of course I was too young to know anything about it, and it didn’t even work; oh well i’ve made it work at around 2005-6. The first episode brings real horror to you if you try to ignore the freaky voice acting. Aside from that the gameplay was awesome, the atmosphere was easily settling, as I immersed pretty quick in the shoes of the hero. The second episode is where i’ve been stuck the most in, and after a few tries and 1 year pause, i’ve reached some really freaky institute, where more freaky experiments take place, freaky enamies appear. The most memorable enamy, besides the frequent zombies and headcrabs were the frankenstien-looking monsters, created by dr. Franklin’s experimental revivings. I was really scared when one charged at me. The third and final episode starts pretty quick, as you discover the hospital you were housed got overran by the undead too. New weapons, as well as new enamies came to this part of the game. My favourite weapon through the game was the rifle, because it replaces the mp5′s skin and, besides other weapons even though some are freaky, really gives the game the chronologic immersion feel to the player somewhat, because I relate the game’s time to ours.
This mod is overall awesome: The level design is purely extraordinary; the textures are somewhat good, since added are few; The weapons this mod feautures are good to shoot and throw at the funny yet nice to combat enamies. The story is simple yet interesting, because, as half-life the story telling tradition, it unfolds secrets like tape recordings and inscriptioned objects. The sounds are perfect as they are, though i reccomend playing this mod without the high definition pack, since it doesn’t add anything but different sounds to a few first weapons. Lastly, voice acting is a bit off, except for the radio man and for Dr.Franklin, and a bit sherrif Rockwood.
Bottomline: A truly Half-life follower, in all it’s aspects, except for voices. It’s cleverly done and the maps are excellent. There’s also alot of new content to discover throughout the whole game. You will surely have fun if you have some respect for the work and not criticize it’s weak parts. I tell you , this mod is highly acclaimed and my favourite.
Have fun playing it!

It’s a great mod, the atmosphere and design is great, the voice acting is off but don’t criticize and ignore
. I’ve wrote a full review before but it didn’t post. Have fun playing it!

This is a freaking good mod for God sake…!!! I’m not so fond of the HL1′s mods, but this one rocks…
The ambiance is absolutly incredible, from the beginning with the first cutscene, to the deserted town, it has also a good story of it’s own, but the most interestinf part is the enemies design : the zombies are absolutly frightening, and their howling “fleeeeeesh”, “huuuuunger”, is very convincing…
And there are SO many different enemies/designs, I’m so fan of the skeletons (and also the MINI-skeleton, ha ha!), but there are also bulls-zombies, marines-zombies…
It’s also a good idea to put the Marines in this game, because I’ve always thought they Hunger and HLverse are linked together, such as a virus spreading in water, linked to the headcrabs, and it could transform people in “simple” zombies…
The overall design in all the mods is cool, the forest, the catacombs, in the first, the town, the police batiment, the asylum…
The last one has some very good moments with the fighting against the Marines, but sometimes it is a little too difficult, such as some fight scenes with the bulls, an helicopter, and the too last boss, despite being very entertaining, are a real pain in the ass…
The weapons are also well done, changing the crowbar for a shovel (adapted!)…
But overall, it has no real “weak points”, and it could have been released as a real game… seriously, because there are so many things of HL changed that it could have been a total conversion…
Play it if you haven’t already… Cuz’ They Hunger : Source seems, saddly, to have disappeared

This is a classic HL mod! The only downside is the last boss of episode 3 just has too much health! On hard I use all my ammo and the helicopter only just starts to smoke! Other than that, the whole series is great, and one of my favourites.

Even on easy that happens to me, sure is hard….but a quick ‘impulse 101′ to recharge soon sorts it out…
14th September 2011
You can play it in steam…alter the path on the self extractor to C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\youraccountname\half-life
It should now show on your Library Tab.

Great mod, only I think they could have done without the skeletons that fire the same electricity attack as the vortiguants (Islave) from hl do. It’s just… bad. First of all it sounds annoying, they are really easy to kill, they look terrible compared to the rest of the monsters, they don’t make sense… why do they fire the electricity stuff? Why are they skeletons? The mod should have sticked with just Zombies, Zombie guards and Zombie dogs. And perhaps one zombie frankenstein and a couple of Zombie buffalo. Same goes for the bullsquid & headcrab replacement which just look weird and should have been removed. Aside from that I think the mod had some nice new weapons, new objects, unfamiliar locations, some good ideas like the audio tapes, long length for a mod (I think its longer then Opposing Force!), but a poor storyline and 3 bad/out of place enemies.
(the crawling decapitated hands was a nice addition- a little reference to Adam’s Family/Evil Dead 2)
