  • VideoVille 1: City 17 Humane Society

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

    Time for a competition with a difference.

    Firstly, there’s no prize, just the bragging rights that I chose your video over the hundreds of other entries!

    About a year ago I made a little tribute called City17 Humane Society (mp3) to a video I saw on YouTube called WHS – Kitty Midnight Madness.

    I included it in one of my podcasts, but would like to add it to my YouTube Channel, but it needs a video to go with it.

    Black Death is a single-player Half-Life 2: Episode Two level that deviates from the original gameplay.

    In the post-apocalyptic future, Gordon Freeman must escape from a zombie-infested medieval tourist town outside of City 17 with no allies and only two tools at his disposal – his trusty crowbar and a confusion crossbow.

    The new crossbow confuses enemies into attacking the victims rather than killing them. Outmanned, he must adapt to his new environment and find the balance between crowbar and crossbow.

  • Alt Mod Idea: Crowd Control

    How people behave in small groups and large groups is very different from how they behave when they are on their own.

    Even if you think of yourself as an intelligent and independent person you can sometimes find yourself manipulated.

    The story I am about to tell you really did happen to me.

    You play as Corporal Daniel Fletcher and your mission is to recover data from the Anomalous Materials Laboratory.

    Along the way you will encounter all sorts of enemies and eventually rejoin your unit.

    Can you complete your objective?

  • CrossbowVille

    Well, here it is. The entries from the CrossbowVille mapping Competition.

    The objective was to create an interesting release that used the Crossbow as the main weapon.

    The mod contains 3 entries, with varying styles.

    I would like to thank the competition’s sponsors; SteamContests.Com and Tt Esports.com and of course, the modders who entered.

    Enjoy!

    I have a World Exclusive for you.

    Ivan’s Secrets is jumping ship from Source and moving to Cry Engine. In addition, they may even go retail!

    When Jamie told me I was angry but now I am resigned to the idea.

  • Poll Question 257 – What type of mod would you most like to play?

    So there I was sitting at my desk, staring at the blank screen of my laptop wondering what this week’s poll question should be and then I remembered a comment s.anchev had made (He wasn’t the first and won’t be the last) …“If someone could use all the GuildHall ideas on a full mod, it could make one hell of a mod.”.

    And then I had the question. Phew, they are getting harder and harder to write.

    Anyway, back to the question.

    I made a list of different types of mods that I thought might be fun to play.

    I have gone into a little detail below in case readers aren’t sure what I mean by them.

    You find yourself on a runaway train. Nothing left to do but work your way to the front – if you can!

    Headcrabs and Combine soldiers try to stop you.

    Follow the path in and on the train until you meet you final foe.

    Play as a Combine soldier who has some “enhanced” abilities.

    Follow your commanding officer and do as he tells you.

    Then defend the position as long as you are instructed to.
