“Hope you are enjoying your short rest, Mr Freeman. I trust the new apartment is to your liking. Please do not try to escape again, we are watching you.
We have received information that a squad of maverick soldiers at a military base near your previous place of employment has a small number of Xen specimens’ capture and are planning to go public with them, we cannot allow this to happen.”

Freeman’s Fight

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

There is no story or background to this 14 map collection and there levels are a quite repetitive.

The action is relentless and the difficulty ever increasing.

Can you reach Xen and the special portal?

In The Kitchen

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Starting in the kitchen you need to kill everything you find and then look for the secret button to release the floor doors and enter the underground area.

That’s all there is: no story, just an excuse to shoot stuff.

Sounds fun to me!

Spot the difference – a mapping challenge

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Art mods, Alt mods, Creative mods call them what you will, they have become more popular recently.

Whilst I am not a big fan of them, I recognise and applaud the creativity involved.

Using game engines for things other than gaming is certainly not new and and the more we explore possible uses the more interesting things get.

Lambda Station

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Made for a Russian forum mapping competition, this map puts you back in Black Mesa.

You need to find your way to the army truck that can be driven to safety.

Of course, plenty of enemies and obstacles stand (and run) in your way.

Only the strong will survive. Good Luck!

The Haunted Lab

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

You find yourself outside a building and you seemed to have swapped your scientist status for a shotgun and “Sargeant” tag.

Explore the building, if you dare, and ignore the strange visions. Chasing the ghost scientist might not always bring dividends though.

An old friend brings your nightmare to a close.

Poll Question 229 – Have you been playing the 100SDoN maps?

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Well, here we are after nearly 3 weeks of 100SDoN and I thought I would use this week’s poll question to find out how many PP readers are playing the maps and mods.

Besides the really crappy maps and the pressure of having to add one map or mod every day I am really enjoying the whole thing.

Back to Xen 2

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

A new device was developed to stop the alien invasion. That device can disturb transporter signals, so aliens can’t beam in to attack and it is the same for humans. That means no further research in XEN. The Administrator decided to cancel the project, but some scientists blocked all entrances to the Transporter Tesearch labs to continue their work. They finished construction, but were not able to activate it. Your mission is to find that device and activate it. It is located somewhere in the New Mesa Complex. Good luck!

Gman Island Part 2

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Here is the text from the start of the mod…“After destroying Black Mesa, the Gman went into hiding. Previously the island was managed by the government, now it is controlled by the Gman.

In there, aliens are subjected to experiments and research. However, something is beginning to happen!”

Nuclear Power Plant

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

You are working in a nuclear power plant when things go a little “wrong”.

Could it have something to do with the Black Mesa Incident? Probably.

The army grunts clearly want to stop you reaching the portal. Don’t let them! Go find it.
