Half-Life Mods

[Kirkreng]

So I just got the Half Life 1 anthology. But since I have already played the game I want to try out some mods. Does anyone know of some good mods to play?

[Axeldeath]

They Hunger part I, II and III are really good ones. Probably the best.

[Pinkie Pie]

Don't know any HL mods, as for HL2 I can name several.

[Lord Sinister]

I remember playing some strange but not too bad single player mods for HL1 many years ago. Point of View was one where you played as a Vortigaunt, and Quantum Leap, which appeared to be a collection of 'short stories' bound together.

Ripping off Half-Life: Decay's extra story? Shame on you

 

I really recommend to get the mod that replicates the ps2 only Gearbox release known as Half-Life: Decay.

Huh!? I believe I played the Decay mod based on the PS2 version a while back, and from what I've read there is a bonus co-op mission where you play as two vortigaunts, but aside from that from what I can tell the similarity ends there (although I may try to find some video to double check that). I really think you should actually read or even play the mod you're talking about before making the frankly ridiculous generalisation that because you're playing as a Vortigaunt it's 'ripping off' the other game. Good grief!

 

EDIT: I've just watched part of a video on the Vortigaunt part of Decay, and I stand by my assertion that Point of View is completely different barring the fact that you play as a vortigaunt.

jeez, take it easy, i know the vortigaunt thing is just a bonus mission, i was just joking that the creator of the Point of View mod may have had some "inspiration" due to this bonus mission of HL: Decay, thats all

Sorry, the lack of emoticons in your post meant I didn't interpret your statement as a joke. >-

 

I sometimes have a rather strong hatred of generalisations like 'all Americans are stupid' and so on and so forth.

Afraid of Monsters: Directors Cut

They Hunger

 

to name a few good ones

 

Cry of Fear is one I've been looking forward to for a while, release date is next February, doesn't even look like a goldsrc mod at all.

[Axeldeath]

Talking about mods that look nothing like Goldsrc, Heart of Evil: Napalm edition is really good and veeeeery nice looking.

Sven Co-op is a mod that let's you play Half Life, Opposing Force, and a variety of custom campaigns cooperatively with friends and online. The site is here and the latest version can be downloaded here.

 

This mod is a load of fun with friends, the difficultly has really been ramped up and the actually mod itself drips with quality. I highly recommend it if you have friends to play it with.

[Kirkreng]

Thanks for all the suggestions.

[Pinkie Pie]

Hazardous Materials Episode 1 wasn't too bad.

[Koach]

i played They Hunger once. Quite good mod. Top 10 for Machinima.com

Can you get any of the mods for HL:S, do they already work with them, or do they need the original Half Life?

[Axeldeath]

Well seeing as it's a different engine you need the original Half Life to play the HL mods. Half Life is Goldsrc and Half Life: Source is well... Source engine.

[Chuckthe2nd]

Half Life: Source is well... Source engine.

Cry of Fear has been out for a couple weeks now, it already had a few patches and the mod seems fairly stable now, worth checking.
