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

    So I was checking out a game on Steam and I noticed who had the game and one person I know has all the games on Steam.

    Yes, I do mean all.

    Some readers know him, but I won’t explicitly say who he his. He has a special Steam account that gives him every single game released.

    You and your squad have been designated as the diversion.

    Use your superior crossbow skill to keep your comrades safe.

    Follow any other instructions you receive.

    Good Luck!

    I am pleased to announce the next mapping competition: NewBlackMesaVille.

    Well it’s time for a change. The next mapping competition will be on GoldSource, that’s the Half-Life 1 engine. Why? I hear you ask. Well, firstly, it’s something I have wanted to do for a while. Secondly, there’s a Source mod announcement coming soon that would interfere with a normal competition.

    This is a short but varied abstract map that challenges you to be observant.

    Can you reach the the end without dying?

    Only the careful will survive.

    Well, 2011 wasn’t exactly a fantastic year for SP Source modding but there were some interesting things that happened.

    This isn’t a review of the year, just a look at some of the highlights.

  • Three Legged Terror

    Author’s Note: Three-Legged Terror occurs as a side story during the events of Half-Life 2:Episode 2. The player assumes the role of a basic Resistance member, hidden away in an isolated mountain base with a small team of soldiers. This base is discovered by the Combine, who send a Strider to destroy the base. Gameplay revolves weakening and damaging the Strider throughout the map as it ascends the mountain trail, giving your NPC allies time to fix weapons and provide aid. The idea was inspired by Capcom

  • Poll Question 258 – What kind of speakers do you use?

    Having a good sound card and speaker set up can make a big difference to your experience of gaming, yet few of us can have a large speaker system dedicated to our PC.

    Currently I just use my laptop speakers or some cheap headphones. I have had 7.1 headphones but my ears overheated, so I had to stop using them.

    As much as I would love to have huge speakers to play with but my living arrangements and the fact I like portability, anything other than headphones is impossible.

    Tell me more about your speaker set up. Got any recommendations regarding headphones?

    I have been meaning to write this for a few weeks now, better late than never I suppose.

    To be honest, it was only the title I thought about and not the actual predictions. These are all off the top of my balding head.

    Don’t forget to add your own in the comments.
