Northern Petrol Storage Area

for Half-Life 2

Starting in what looks coastal town, you find yourself up against a constant barrage of Combine soldiers.

Often ways looked block but with your trusty crowbar a way can be found through.

Once you beat the APC you are one step closer to freedom. Or are you?

Wizardly

for Half-Life 2

You find yourself in a brick maze. You have a crowbar but health, suit charge, the pistol, ammo and grenades can be “bought”.

You earn “gold” by killing enemies.

Metrocops and fast headcrabs are worth 4, zombies and normal headcrabs are worth 2.

5 Ways to Die by d_sparks

for Half-Life 2

Choices. We face them everyday. But they don’t often come with life or death consequences.

Today, they do.

Choose wisely, there are subtle clues placed within the map to help you (I never flipping saw them! – Phillip).

Just Like Rebel

for Half-Life 2

Short map inside a very tall secret Combine prison.

Work your way up and down the levels to find the exit into sunshine and fresh air.

The second map was never finished.

As I Lay Dying

for Half-Life 2

Play through two beta maps; Tram Ride, which is okay, and Cave, which is pretty cool.

The mod was never finished or released, so this is all we have.

I got an “A.I. Disabled” message when I died in the second map and nothing I tried removed it, so be careful not to die, otherwise you will have to restart the map from the beginning!

DoomEd

for Half-Life 2

DoomEd is a single-player first person shooter learning game that combines science and history with FPS action, taking players through the horror of bio-terrorism and WWII chemical experimentation gone wrong.

The backstory mixes factual content (the WW2 experiments at Porton Down, Chemical Defence Experimental Station, ‘urban exploration’ in disused London underground stations) with fiction and fantasy (a lost labyrinth populated with human mutants and military personnel who believe the war is still going on).

The action is set in the labyrinth of lost London underground stations and tunnels that have not been in operation for over fifty years. The game follows the conventions of FPS gameplay – interweaving between orientation/exploration and action/warfare with mutants but replacing puzzles with science-based problems and puzzles, drawing on appropriate aspects of the KS4 science curriculum.
