Quite an enjoyable mod. Would strongly recommend playing it....
This mod is amazing is one of the best if not the best mod ever created.
i love everything in this mod enemies,weapons some from opposing force,how long is it and good it is.
this my first mod i ever played its my favorite i love this mod for the Team action where you can see how many hecu soldiers you have and how much hp they have,are they a medic.
i love opposing force and this is the reason i installed this mod beacuse of opposing force and i wanted to play i thinked it will be around 1,2...
Thanks dougjp I will give it a try :) i'm really in my freetime between Q1 community and Half-life so it may take some time to go through...
Hey, not seen anything mentioned about this, but this map is definitely worth a play...I've played it several times now and keep finding different approaches...check it out...just stick the BSP into HL 2 EP 2...find it and play. https://www.moddb.com/games/half-life-2-episode-two/addons/forgotten-valley...
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:
Very enjoyable gameplay and visuals. I rated it 9/10
House of Chaos; Its Great:
Really well done, this t...
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 was also surprise to find a Half-Life 1 oriented in the package

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. Its also available for direct download at moddb. I always find the install procedure confusing each time they have brought out a new chapter. The download doesn't mean its installed - instructions are in the BM Blue Shift Steam Workshop where you subscribe.

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.
Anyway, onto the original here. It's... pretty bad. I remember the zombie models and human head crabs were always goofy as Hell for me. I never really found it scary, though the level design impressed me back in the day. I can't say that it does now. Every single ...
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....
This is a level where one of the photos of half life is a mister demon president who died in this office and is creating a nightmare all around. That's why level is irrational, because you are in hell with the demon playing with you....
A nice travel in xen's surroundings. Some soldiers are parked outside waiting for Freeman. At the end, we are all reunited, he says. For sure, as game character, that's a meeting in the end.

It has its own unique atmosphere. It's enjoyable and this was one of those early mods for HL and was released in 1999! Amazing feat if you ask me.

Also the zombies too, a bit amateurish but c'mon I am being a bit harsh here, Imagine developing a mod in the late 90's with limited technology. This alone makes it a...
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 ;) ). It's around 2...

Well the Present Part is the worst part. Still you get your note. Even if it's just a few levels. I keep dying because of you, everything is dark and I keep dying like an idiot. What's wrong with me? Why am I constantly falling to the ground and scream out that I took damage and my body is gone? Where is my body? Only my soul remains, nothing else. Someone can find my body? What kind of joke is that?...
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. For whaterer reason, I though mods were much more popular than mapsets which are more of my thing....

Pyramid was the satisfying map played.
https://youtu.be/YK8LNHHKOo8...
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...

Earthquake Test Center. I would like to see at least one great earthquake in-game where all of the scientists are buried inside the earth. Sadly, the name doesn't mean there's an earthquake in-game, there's a big bomb instead which is used to blow Xen. that's what earthquake means. It also means human are living alone in the universe, that's sad. Just only you and no one else....

I think the idea behind how it was think and build was great, A labotary complex were things got wrong, but the atmosphere of the complex through the way it was build missed something to make it really great (more details labs, interconnection with survivor, tense music...) neverteless I enjoy playing it and certainly recommand it :)...
Cool, the level design is good, great pace,scripting, good enemy encounters. There are some simple good puzzles and this was released in 2002, very impressive. it's very old mod but still looks greats, I'd even say some areas come close to being valve quality. I also forgot good use of hl1 tracks as well. So, it's enjoyable, top-notch mod which is a must-play for HL1 fans.

This is a mix of Half-Life Original, then you'll play Opposing force and then you'll play Blue Shift and short. Or at least this is the sensation I had when I played this. 3 HL in one, but generally I didn't found any spectacular building in general, most of the building has many similarities. Otherwise it's the easiest way to create a mod, just transform many places your way and that's it you have alternative way of playing....
Yes you need to break the crates to open them for items and go though using same system until get the crowbar. The first crowbar is located behind the glass while you climbing up the catwalks. This is the first place to collect. what I don't know if it's possible to turn off the steam to be able to cross safely to the other side. I like the design of the area where you can ignore all three turrets without fight, but the next area is one of the worst where you can easily fall the first jump. Acro...

This mod has a potential button demand location, if you miss one switch you are not going to make it. There's not even a hint to what to do if the player is lost. It's like guess in which stone is the key, if not, you are going to stand there forever. The areAS with chopper is another tough area. in both areas you must hit with all available rockets, if not, you guess how you destroy the choppers. The first chopper can be skipped, the second one I think you can bring down with the mounted rocket...

This mod is kind of go into the area to trigger the battle between humans and aliens. The first time I played this, I first killed humans and then the aliens and that me in the point with very low ammo and almost no health at all.

As well as this happens to Gargantua, we are not supposed to fight it at all, but we can't stay still and watch because if you do, well,hmm...you will be dead....
