Nightmare House 2

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

Nightmare House 2 is a free, horror-themed first person shooter modification, and the direct successor of “Nightmare House”.

The story resumes with the player lost and confused in a hospital known as “Never Lose Hope”. With no understanding of how you came to be there, there’s only a vague memory of the mysterious, haunting girl from Nightmare House. Soon it will be difficult to determine between a dream and reality. How long will it take you to realize that escape is not an option?

On A Rail

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

This is a remake of the On a Rail section from Half-Life 1. Half-Life: Source was used as the inspiration apparently.

I found it via tip from jasper, who saw it on Grinder74.com, who seemed to how found it on PlayGround.ru.

I converted to a normal folder installation without the author’s permission and hope that’s ok. The bad news is that in doing so increased the file size a bit.

Only the strong or crazy will survive!

A grey and orange textured arena where you must kill as many enemies as possible before you die.

There’s a kill counter to keep score. I reached 8473 before I died. Wait, sorry I meant 8.

for Half-Life 2

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

You’ve got plenty of ammo, health, suit power and weapons.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that there are plenty of antlions, Combine soldiers and dropships.
How many enemies can you kill and how long can you stay alive?
