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

    October is upon us.

    Leaves changing colour, more rainy days meaning no more excuses to not be in front of our computers playing Half-Life mods!

    Got any modding plans for this winter? Gonna build your first mod? You should. In fact, so should I!

  • Poll Question 301- How old is your main gaming computer?

    In the first in a short series of hardware polls, this week’s poll is about the age of your main gaming computer.

    The question was suggested by a reader who is building a mod and has decided to ensure his son’s computer can run it, since it’s quite old.

    It’s a sensible philosophy but when he suggested it to me, we couldn’t find a good way of classifying PCs.

    Automated enemies never get tired, never get scared and never doubt themselves.

    You face three different scenarios where your only adversaries are automated enemies.

    They require a different approach to live enemies; patience and thoughtfulness. Running and Gunning most likely won’t work.

    Good Luck, you’re gonna need it.

    After the Cuban Missile Crisis, humanity is wiped out and only machines are left.

    This is a vision of a possible future.

    In this adventure mod, your task is to solve puzzles and move the Handcar along the tracks until you can go no further.

    Let the “robot” guide you and pay special attention to his head!

    Today is the site’s 11th birthday.

    Can’t believe I have been doing this for so long.

    Let’s hope the future of HL modding is bright.

    Oh BOY! You’ve been captured and taken to a Combine Prison.

    Your mother was right, You are special.

    Follow the instructions and do what you do best – cause trouble.

    Watch the story unfold right before your eyes.

    You’ve been sent to what seems to be an abandoned water treatment facility.

    After confirming there are no Combine left, you just need to get out.

    Unfortunately, the lift needs to be powered, but once there is power, you find you are no longer alone.

    Can you survive long enough to get the elevator?

    You’ve probably noticed that I have started livestreaming and then uploading my initial playthroughs of the maps and mods I now add (see the sidebar for the YouTube and Twitch channels).

    I have to play them to get screenshots and write a review, so it’s actually not that much extra work for me.

    New Prospekt wasn’t the only prison the Combine have been using.

    No Sir, not by a long way.

    You have been sent to another prison, along with two highly trained squad members, to asses the situation and if possible rescue prisoners..

    Carefully command the squad and do your damnedest to bring back as many prisoners as you can.
