DAV Train

for Half-Life

This maps tries to bring a different ending for the Half-Life game when you reject the offer of the G-Man.

After you decline the G-Man offer he arrests you and puts you on a train to be transported to a base where your memory will be erased and converted to a cooperative member. In the middle of the journey you will be transferred to an Osprey to conclude the transfer to that base. It is here that the maps take place.

When you arrived, something happens and you hear some aliens and a battle going on. You realize that the aliens invaded this facility too. You manage to escape using the distraction of your guard and now you have to get to the Osprey so you can escape..

Paclife Alpha

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 an Alpha release of a conversion of Pacman. It was due to be part of the Arcadium mod I was hoping to produce but unfortunately that hasn’t happened.

It was never designed for public release, as all alphas aren’t, but I am releasing it now, with Joe’s permission, so that in conjunction with the post about the mod, it may gain some exposure and hopefully members of the mapping community will decide it’s worth the effort and take the concept further.

I would like to publicly apologize to Joe for letting him down. Sorry Joe.

Operation X

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Escape. A simple word but one with many possibilities.

In this old school mod, you simply have to escape.

Don’t expect beautiful views , clever puzzles or rewards for careful exploring.

Expect some fun shooting enemies though!

The Sprucecape Mappack

for Half-Life 2: Episode One

This release has been updated: The Sprucecape Mod for Half-Life 2: Episode Two.

You play the role of John Sprucecape. Apparently, a “once a successful professor of philosophy, but now a violent unemployed middle-aged man with an alcohol addiction”.

You wake up to find yourself locked in the house and your family gone. Go look for them! Of course Life has a way of throwing stuff in your way, as I am sure you expected.
