House Arena - ok I guess. Got way too hung up on shooting down the troop carrier until I realized I was progressing through enemy waves, rather than trying to turn off infinite enemy spawns.
Hostile Takeover - really liked the fast zombie section. Mixed in Combine to keep them busy as I traverse upward. A really great way to discourage camping and encourage progression. The lighting was great; zombie shadows overhead as they climb their pipes was downright menacing. This is what the Source en...

Hi Stef, I found the same thing and eventually gave up on this one.
I've been playing through all the HL2 Ep2 maps that were rated 'Play It Now' and 'Play It Later', and found a number of them that won't play because of source 2013 compatibility problems. Peoples' text scripts in forum posts to fix this, like with this map, never seem to work for me either.
I've been able to solve a few of them by going to moddb and searching the files section for HL2 Ep2, where sometimes patches with th...

Since a played the last updated I suppose I really had no problem
For me this was a high enjoyable experience really fun to play through, perhaps the part i didn't like that much was the end arena but for the rest nothing to complain and the end was great :) don't know if there was something created by the author after this one ?...
Hello guys :)
I copy/paste the text from shaboo to replace and modify the existing gameinfo of the mod but I got an error message saying it's not a valid format :(
then I open other gameinfo file to see the structure, I was able to have the things running until the game menu that isn't working, since I never made anything as a developper its complicated to know what wright or wrong :(
the original game info is:

I'm not a fan of only puzzle oriented maps and this one was not an exception.
First of all the design and the size of door was quite clostrophobic second everything was not that obvious what to do next and especially when you need to use one of the key twice for the end it was abrupt but i manage to understand what was needed to do
there were certainly good idea and creation behind how to make it work but for my self I didn't enjoy it...

thanks to Anon_2042014 who post a comment about this one in the 2024 General Chat, I gave this one a try and it's well worth one
The construction of the map was solid in term of architecture, interaction with elements and gameplay on the other side I found that sometime the construction was not that realistic (pillard in the church, valley lost in a hole).
Also the kind of path oriented progression was sometime a little bit to obvious
but clearly this was a high enjoyable experi...

Regarding the turrets, when I said friendly, I meant friendly to me. Why would I complain about inconsistency otherwise? Not gonna have a debate over every little thing when I stated all I had to say. Plus I had already reached out to the devs after my post and they would not even bother to read it or watch my playthrough. They would ask questions that would only make me repeat my post on moddb or here. That was not cool.

Note half of the entries have fairly crude or weird looks. If you want to play decent half-life levels, limit yourself to All is Wrong, House of Chaos and ALT-LIFE.
Difficulty-wise: maps are all fairly easy if you're an experienced players. Focus was clearly on the theme, not to give players a particularly hard time.

I mostly agree with Stef's opinions and comments on 4 of the 7 - Taken for a Ride, ALT-Life, Vlu Shift and Artic Fight. The other 3:
White Mesa; Its Good:
I really enjoyed this one after a number of quicksave restarts and adjusting my mind to figure out what's going on! Then gameplay was enjoyable and a reasonable length for a Map Labs map. I rated it 8/10
All is Wrong; Its Great:

Perhaps the theme was a little bit complicated and too openwide for a theme. I didn't feel that there was some guideline in this map lab but this is just my point of you

I had been playing a large HL mod for the past days, and today went on Steam to start HL2 Episode 2 in order to load a map from its console. I was shocked that Episode 2 had VANISHED from my Library Games list ! So had Episode 1.
I saw the major update announcement a week ago that said Ep 1 & 2 are bundled into HL2. No mention I saw that they are no longer "games", instead they are "tools" ! If you are like me and want HL2, Ep 1 and Ep 2 to all show in your Games list along with mods and...
I created a tool to help generate ideas for making HL2 maps. With renewed interest in HL2 from the 20th anniversary update, it would be great to see more new custom maps for HL2. Hopefully this helps anyone come up with some basic ideas for what to include in a map, or even just challenge yourself to come up with a short map using a small selection of game elements.

Hey, Radial!
I have looked into your request and unfortunately there are no .wmf files available, for the following reasons:
When I created the maps, the Warhammer editor was set to Half life 2: Ep. 2.
Because I used textures and models on the maps that were only in Half life 2, I got errors during test runs. To convert the .bsp files without errors I had to use PAKRAT and VIDE programs to put the original Half life 2 textures and models into the Episode 2 maps.
Because of this, there ...

Those who have subscribed on Steam to Black Mesa Blue Shift will have noticed a large download yesterday. Its the update to BM Blue Shift including new Chapter 5, Focal Point.

I was reminded of this "classic" today when a very similar looking mod was uploaded to ModDB by the name of They Invade. It turns out that They Invade is literally just this same mod with four new maps that are literally unplayable.

Too many enemies, but also, too much ammo. No problem, it's ballanced anyway. Still you need to take a nice caution in the first level. I like the designing of a turret killing all the houndeye around. That turret is quite strong, 4 Revolver shots to destroy, what a record. He could do the same in other rooms. At least when aliens are turned away is a simulation they are worried with other things....

Well I had fun with this one. It wasn't as frustrating as I thought it would be, although I must warn you that developer was quite lazy and reused a couple of levels multiple times. There are a lot of mods that are more interesting than this one, although I do recommend playing it for more experienced players (I don't want to spoil anything, be warned, but I also recommend trying it for 3rd person segments that I must say were quite unique and fun ;) ).

This like a combination of Escape Games, Acrobatic Games and some RPG in the middle. Including some stupid questions which most of them has no sense at all. It's like the designer was living in Hell a couple of days and found a sense of dying too much inside in game. It's like there're too many ways on dying in hell over and over again like nothing happened. Thats a new world full of possibilities. I still don't know how the designer get into that world. Is there a rational way to get into it? I...
It seems the more safe you pick, the more enemies there's, and for worst on Hard mode, aliens are stronger than humans, so there're many of them. If you lose your time you can get in a situation without having ammo. this level also would require auto health regen to play without problems. It seems this guy has forget to include some health kits around the level. The chopper do not attack but if there're enemies close to you you may receive a rocket from friendly chopper fire. That sucks a lot. I...
Playing it on Hard is kind of more interesting mod. You can waiste plenty of ammunition. The only defect of the mod is that it would be nice to have an auto-regenerative health. In some ocasions you need health. This is goos so you can use all types of weapons that way. if not you are doomed to play with certain types of weapons. Zombies are ammo eaters. don't use shotgun on them, but machine gun, all your bullets will be waisted. And if you use shotgun, fire from distance. That way you can wai...

Hi everyone! I am Michael and I found this site while looking custom maps to play. I’ve been playing Half Life and other 90’s FPS games since I was kid. As far as fanmade stuff goes, I’ve mostly played Doom and Duke Nukem stuff. I even made some Doom maps myself. I never played much custom HL stuff, so I’m looking to rectify that.

Very long mod. It's long because it's too hard. Yes, parameters of this game are oriented that you hit the enemy in first place. How you do that, it's your problem. usually if you fire enemies without receiving damage you do the max. Until there everything seems to be challanging since you need to see enemies through walls and guess where they will go when they will spot you.
The problem is that in The Real 1 he designed ambushed where you can easily be busted in one hit from several enemies a...
