Good luck for you because you can have some fun.

Your job: Re-establish contact.

Of course, nothing goes the way you expect it – that is if you expect it to go smoothly!

You will need to fight your way through and solve puzzles along the way to reach the waiting helicopter.

Are you smart and determined enough? Let’s find out.

Courage

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

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

Author’s Note: “Courage is the name of a machine and a state of mind.
This mod is not strictly set in the Half-Life universe, but it can be. You don’t play as Gordon Freeman, but you can if you’d like.
You might get the wrong idea if I said it reminds me of something that’d happen if L4D2 collided with Dear Esther, so forget I said that. You get to do stuff, I promise.”

Rising Water

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

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

“Rising water is a single player, standalone level for Half-Life 2: Episode 2. On his way to a rebel outpost with Alyx, Gordon gets into some car trouble. With split second reaction time, Alyx is able to jump out of the buggy before Gordon accidently drives it into an Antlion cave.

After recovering from the fall, Gordon realizes the cave is not only full of Antlions, but the water in it is rising fast from the rain, and it is full of leeches! Gordon must climb, run, jump and punt Antlions with the gravity gun to get to the top of the cave before it is too late.”

Vortigauntlet

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

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

Vortigauntlet puts you back in Nova Prospekt. This time you need a Vortigaunt’s help and use the gravity gun to escape.

As with all puzzles, the order you do things is vital.

Think carefully before rushing around as you may save yourself some time.

Good Luck!

Black Guard

for Half-Life

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

Dr. Eddy has been up to no good. To be honest, that seems like most scientists at Black Mesa.

You are part of the Black Guard, I suppose that’s like Black Shift, but maybe not.

Without warning, things really get crazy and you find yourself in the middle of it.

Do what BMRF has paid you to do: Kick some butt!
