Half Life 2 mods

Detoam — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 22:20:28 +0000

One of the best things about Half-life series is the amount of gamer released mods for the game. The best source for this mods is at http://www.moddb.com. The site contains mods for all possible games.

My favourite mods are:

Minerva.

Story:

You’ve missed me, haven’t you?

I am Hypatia, murdered for her beliefs, discoveries ignored by fools, name stricken from record. I am Joyeuse, an infinitely cutting blade wielded by an ignorant tyrant, for a cultural renaissance based upon military might. I am Athena, hunter and scientist, covertly guiding long-dead warriors for my quiet purposes. And as they say, technology and violence are a girl’s best friends; power is eternal delight.

Times have changed, moved on. I have forgiven my past enemies, but now in repentance I must forgive my colleagues; their actions have brought on more constructed suffering than your world has ever previously known. Walking among the fires of my forgotten home, dismayed by the torment and insanity of our unwitting hosts, ignored by long-absent angels, I studied their downfall.

In short, I must create my own system, or be enslaved by another. And in this, I have an advantage. Your ancients were superstitious, deluded zealots, prone to inflation of already impossible, beautiful claims. My adopted forefathers are different, their scattered, discarded playthings more conducive to a meaningful imposition of my thoughts upon our captors.

Fragments of these minor, pivotal dialogues may soon periodically appear, released from an uncertain, unwelcome future where my previous, abortive attempts at reconciliation may go forgotten. No more restraint, I am too strong for that.

I am Minerva.

Screenies:

In this mod You must infiltrate and investigate little island. I am not gonna go into a lot of details as it would give away a whole lot. Suffice it to say that this is by far my most favourite although fairly short mod. I have heard that the developer was going to extend it, but I haven’t seen it yet.

Another mod I like is actually intended on to be a “learning” mod. Sadly i can’t recall the name of the mod and are having hard time trying to find it again. In the mod player has to figure out chemical combinations in order to be able to get out. There isn’t much of shooting going on, but it still was really engaging mod.

This is the beauty of the player mods. There are very different genres. You can check out some of the mods by clicking here. Some of the mods don’t even look like the original game. What is Your favourite mod for this game?

Left 4 dead

Get the game

From Valve (the creators of Counter-Strike, Half-Life and more) comes Left 4 Dead, a co-op action horror game for the PC and Xbox 360 that casts up to four players in an epic struggle for survival against swarming zombie hordes and terrifying mutant monsters.

Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D’s survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique “movies,” guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies. Each “movie” is comprised of five large maps, and can be played by one to four human players, with an emphasis on team-based strategy and objectives.

New technology dubbed “the AI Director” is used to generate a unique gameplay experience every time you play. The Director tailors the frequency and ferocity of the zombie attacks to your performance, putting you in the middle of a fast-paced, but not overwhelming, Hollywood horror movie.

Left 4 Dead will be released worldwide on PC November 18^th.

Addictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life
Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.
An advanced AI director dynamically creates intense and unique experiences every time the game is played
20 maps, 10 weapons and unlimited possibilities in four sprawling “movies”
Matchmaking, stats, rankings, and awards system drive collaborative play
Designer’s Commentary allows gamers to go “behind the scenes” of the game
Powered by Source and Steam

The demo is finally out. Download it here.
