The Desert of Doom

for Half-Life

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

“This map consists of a flat desert which covers the maximum 2 dimensional area possible in a Half-Life map. The interesting thing about the map are the small armies of human grunts and Xen aliens facing each other. Join in the fight or sit back and watch the fun! Run around a bit, letting some enemies chase you, so that they see the other army and the action starts. You will also probably want to use the cheats described below, if only to give yourself some weapons! This map may run choppily, due to the large number of monsters. If you see the framerates start to drop, remember you can always turn down the resolution.”

Wilson Chronicles

for Half-Life

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

This mod contains all the unfinished maps etc. It was kindly released by the team, instead of just letting it stay on a hard drive.

Don’t expect a smooth ride, you will need to load some maps manually and some maps contain little or no action.

Return

for Half-Life

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

As the name suggests, you go back to Black Mesa. It’s a sparse area with some Grunts and Vortigaunts.

There’s only 1 headcrab to be found in the whole mod, which is a good thing.

Gargs can be found in various places throughout the mod, no need to look too hard, it’s not as if you could miss them, is it?
