Prisoner of Event

for Half-Life

One night, Gordon Freeman was going home from work. It was late at night and he was in a hurry. The car’s engine purred quietly and inside was pretty comfortable.

Beyond the car’s window was a cold, cold night and black mountains against a dark sky could be seen in the background.One night, Gordon Freeman was going home from work. It was late at night and he was in a hurry. The car’s engine purred quietly noise and inside was pretty comfortable.

Trespasser

for Half-Life

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

Your name is Mark Hunt, an elite Marine sent in to ‘clean up’ the Black Mesa Incident. Near evening your platoon was ambushed by a superior force, taking you completely by surprise. In the chaos you became separated from your C.O. and by sheer luck evaded the atomic blast that followed. The Brass didn’t call it luck. You were courtmartialed for desertion and sentenced to ten years in a maximum security prison. Two years into your sentence, something happened…

Runder

for Half-Life

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

You start in a cave and have some buttons to press and enemies to kill.

It’s a simple map, with a simple layout and a simple ending.

Kill the enemies and press the buttons.

Even a simpleton could do it.

Phobos IV

for Half-Life

You are sent to Phobos IV which has a deadly virus.

Fortunately, there is an antidote. Less fortuantely, creatures from Xen have taken control of the base.

Follow the on screen instructions and use you ammo VERY carefully.

Affliction

for Half-Life

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

Starting with a black sequence, it’s clear you were in some medical distress.

Fortunately, the HEV did what it was supposed to do: protect and heal you.

Waking up being guarded by Assassins, seems the least of your troubles.

Pick up the crooked crowbar, go about your usual day: creating mayhem and destruction!

Parallax

for Half-Life

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

This is the beta release of an unfinished mod. Since this will never be finished, Adam gave permission for it to be released.

There are only two maps and the second one is just two small areas.

My original post had many more screenshots, including outdoor areas with trains, but these are absent from the released files.

Vlokam 2

for Half-Life

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

A set of maps, including a training room, which lead you through a variety of locations.

You need to reach the bomb – I don’t know if you must disarm it or set it off.

Anyway, things don’t end well – do they ever?

Lab Ex

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

Waking up in a Combine prison laboratory your only choice is to take the HEV and cause as much trouble for the Combine as possible.

Of course, they won’t like it! So expect some opposition.

Get as far away as possible, as quickly as possible.
