Retaliation

for Opposing Force

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

Author’s Note: “Retaliation picks up where Dark Operations left off. There will be no Xen or displacer in Retaliation.

Action is the main theme. It will mainly be an encounter against military targets, but there is a healthy dose of aliens too.

There will also be many sequences and a few puzzles to keep things interesting. Retaliation is the last of this series. Enjoy.”

Be sure to read the hints in the readme if you get stuck.

Leon’s Coastline to Atmosphere

for Half-Life 2

This mod continues the story where Half-Life 2 finished and offers one possible scenario.

After the big explosion you fall to the ground and are very badly injured.

Some people find you and take you home to a small village outside the city where the citadel was built.

After 3 months you’re strong again and want to fight on.

I have added this to the frontpage because there has been a patch released that addresses issues that have been casuing this mod to crash. I have also been live streaming it. – Phillip

The Combine have discovered where you are hiding and things only get worse.

With your fellow rebels you must escape using a portal.

Did I mention things get worse? Well, they just get EVEN worse. The Portal worked but not as expected.

Keep the faith you will find your comrades and perhaps you will finally escape, although don’t count on it.
