AutoVille

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

Automated enemies never get tired, never get scared and never doubt themselves.

You face three different scenarios where your only adversaries are automated enemies.

They require a different approach to live enemies; patience and thoughtfulness. Running and Gunning most likely won’t work.

Good Luck, you’re gonna need it.

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
After-Life 2 is the story of a player moving through a world which is slowly deconstructing around them. It is a struggle for survival not just literally, but also metaphysically. In a first-person shooter, you (the player) inhabit the body of a character in the story of the game. What happens when the character you’re playing knows they’re being played?
