Heretic II Siege - Multiplayer Conversion
Siege is one of the first fully realized attempts to bring a certain level of strategy and realism to the 3D shoot-em-up genre. Instead of your typical frag-fest, Siege presents the player with a more in depth and entertaining experience. This experience can most easily be summarized as a "First Person Warcraft". Siege attempts to bring intelligence and planning to the multiplayer FPS, traditionally the realm of mindless deathmatch. It combines entertaining gameplay, real world physics, balanced characters, numerous options, and many surprises. The basic premise behind Siege is a confrontation between an attacking team and a defending team. The attacker's goal is to besiege the defender's castle and steal the crown. The defenders on the other hand, need to be able to hold off the attackers long enough, thereby effectively deterring the enemy from gaining control of the castle. If the crown is stolen within the allotted time, the attacker wins, if not, the defender wins. Depending on the number of players, this time limit can be set by the server, otherwise default time is usually around 30 minutes. The game is a race against time, and both sides have many tools at their disposal in order to insure victory.

Half-Life

Action Half Life - Multiplayer Total Conversion
Action Half-Life is a multiplayer mod where you play the role of an action film star. Inspired by Hong Kong action films like John Woo's, it takes place in all kinds of realistic surroundings as for example: a penthouse where you finish an opponent with a big arsenal of weapons, to the ghettos or a gigantic country house in which there would be for example bots with berettas, colts and shotguns in 1911 for example. Every weapon has a special strength and weakness where one with the sniper's gun needs only one shot to kill somebody, it also reloads incredibly slowly and is inexpedient for close fights. In contrast the sawed-off shotgun in close fights is a murderous instrument there, but has barely any ammunition. The opponents you fight not in the usual Deathmatch manner but in a very entertaining style. One can bend like in Hong Kong action films in all directions, and "dodge" in slow-motion like already seen in Max Payne to shoot holes into your opponent in 6 different hit zones. These are divided into head, arms, chest, and legs and could not be more important. Thus it's enough that a specific shot in the head will cause the opponent to die, while one can shoot a whole magazine into another's chest. If one shoots on the legs, that person will move considerably slower and can no more use "dodge" moves, and wounded people will eventually bleed to death. Realism is heightened because you will die if in only 3 meters you can lose half of your health. However, on the other hand, one can also perform unbelievable stunts and jump through windows, while behind just a bomb detonates. Bombs are one of a lot of extra items one also at the beginning can select. To avoid explosive damage there are flack vests, infra-red binoculars, armor and other things that make life considerably easier. However, all in all one should get all versions of the mod downloaded, because with every version there are new maps. If one has a bad internet connection, one can play the maps also in your PC only against the bots. AHL:Directors Cut is a project started by the Ministry of Action. While this project isn't supported by the A-Team, the original developers, it has been authorized. Their goal is to take the best features of previous versions to create a final "Director's cut". This includes improving overall accessibility, weapon behavior, and content.
Action Half Life AHL : Directors Cut 1 2

Afraid Of Monsters & Director's Cut - Total Conversion
Afraid of Monsters is a survival horror mod for Half Life 1 that doesn’t follow the beaten trail of zombies and haunted mansions. We recommend that you play AOM in a dark room, with the game on full screen and the volume up high. Your name is David Leatherhoff, and you're addicted to a new painkiller from a company unknown. They keep coming, and you can't stop taking them. Lately you have started to experience illusions, dreams picking at your deepest and darkest fears. Finally, you go to the Hospital, seeking help. First, however, you make a stop into the bathroom, where another bottle of pills awaits you, standing out like a beacon in the night in your depraved eyes. When will it all stop? It received the "top adventure mod of 2006" award by ModDB. A Director's Cut was later released with new monsters (no Half-Life reskin) and weapons, improved maps and totally new maps, 4 different endings and ways to beat the mod, random monster spawns, new hud, sprites, textures, sounds, models and animations. The flashlight can only work with batteries that you pick up also.

Azure Sheep - Total Conversion
Azure Sheep takes place at the Black Mesa complex during the events of the original game. This time though, the story is seen from Barney's point of view. Essentially the plot is that Barney must rescue the girl (a female guard named Kate, aka Azure Sheep) and escape from Black Mesa. As such it sticks pretty much to the look and feel of the original game, but it does introduce quite a few new weapons and monsters that really add to the whole experience. They interwove their story with that of the original Half-Life, and even included sequences based on Opposing Force. The nice new content included like new voice acting, models and a good story all add up to a good mod with 51 maps.

The Battle Grounds - Multiplayer Total Conversion
This is an open source multiplayer team-based modification based on the Revolutionary War. You and your teammates will have to act together strategically to fight the enemy teams either as The Royal British Army, or The Colonial United States Continental Army. For each side you will have a choice of several classes, each with their own individual style and unique playing feel. In BG there will be 3 gameplay modes: Line Battle: the main gameplay mode which history lovers are salvaiting about where you will march to the Battle Field in marching columns and once on the field of combat, you will line up in your designated lines. From there you and the rest of your team battle the other team with volleys aimed at the opposition. After a certain number of volleys, lines will be released and full melee and bayonet charges will commence. Possession mode: There are several points spread over the map that have to be held by one team to win. The point is lost if an enemy moves over the flag or if the player who captured the point dies. After all points are captured all players respawn in their base. Capture the Base: One team is defending and the other is attacking, the defending team have to keep the attacking team from infiltrating the base and capturing and holding the base. Once all points in the base are held by the attacking team, the round is won. Other features in BG are: Cannons, stamina system, bayonets, different melee weapons, commander, particle engine, interactive crosshair, report menu, ingame setup dialog and much much more!!!

In the fictitious metropolis “Metro City” will make you hunt on the escaped scientist Dr. Gallagher, who stole a mysterious briefcase, which the government wants to have back at any price. But the good doctor has relations and so it succeeds him to escape one more time. It has 20 playable maps (inclusive "Tutorial" map) + 1 intro map + 4 cutscenes + 1 credits map, and 712 textures (638 are new). A remake called Black Ops Redux was later done which used the AM Rebirth Code (Which is pretty freaking cool) and adds 3 new weapons, as well a various graphical updates.

Case Closed - Partial Conversion
You are a janitor at the Black Mesa Research Facility. Some brilliantly designed 17 levels, and lots of grunts to fight. One of the more memorable moments is going through a portal and having your gravity flip upside down, giving it the "walk-on-the-roof" effect. Some well-designed Xen levels are also incorporated, which give a feel much like the stranger levels in American McGee's Alice.

Chemical Existence - Total Conversion
Chemical Existence puts you in the role of Reece Max whom simply is in the wrong place at the wrong time. He gets mixed up with fighting gangs, evil corporations and mutated creatures. Fight your way through cruel ghettos, get through china town and fight off gangs in the deadly sewers beneath the city. Cross the river by boat, the woods by jeep and find your way to the mysterious chemical plant where strange mutated creatures roam free. There's around 10 totally new enemies, with tons of scripted sequences and animations! You start out with the dreaded board-with-a-nail-in-it, and you acquire such arms as a laser pistol, sniper rifle (complete with night vision and range indicator), and the poison dart gun. It also has great voice acting, new music and superb gameflow. A must play!

Chronicles - Partial Conversion
This contains 5 professional style maps in the original Half-Life style even with eerily similar voice-work that closely resembles the original scientists voices. It takes an alternate path from a place in the original game where you come in just as you enter the military compound. There are some nice action sequences like the stunning monorail sequence and a few new weapon models.

Decay - Expansion Pack
This is an add-on included in the PlayStation 2 port of Half-Life remade by independent Ukrainian developers for PC with the help of other european developers/fans. The third expansion for the original game, it features two-player cooperative gameplay (in split-screen) with the two female scientists Gina Cross and Colette Green as the protagonists. It is meant to be played with two players at the same time as it is more puzzle-oriented than the original game and the first two expansions. Singleplayer is also possible, but then switching between the two characters is necessary to advance. When not active, the other character is AI controlled for basic actions. It is set at the same time of the events in the original Half-Life, but from the perspective of other characters. All enemies and weapons are based on the original game and many of the missions have a more friendly approach about working together or rescuing NPCs. Unique to the series as a whole is the lack of a single narrative; instead the add-on consists of fixed, separate missions. At the end of each mission, statistics are shown and the player is graded. When the nine levels are completed with an A grade, a bonus mission is unlocked where players control and work together as two Vortigaunts. As an additional bonus, the entire singleplayer can then also be completed as a Vortigaunt.

Earth's Special Forces - Multiplayer Total Conversion
ESF is a fast paced 3rd person fighter based on the hit anime, Dragonball Z. Select your favorite character and fly, melee, power up, transform, and beam your enemies into pulp. There is a learning curve so newbies beware. This mod is really popular, I guess because of the popularity of the characters but the mod is still in beta stages so don't expect a completely polished product yet.

Edge Of Darkness - Partial Conversion
This episode consists of 11 levels with some of them having awesome areas leading to a final showdown on an alien ship with lasers. It has excellent use of scripted sequences and HL's dialogue to provide very entertaining setpieces. Much of the climaxes of Half-Life's original gameplay make appearances in this pack (the tentacle monster, a portal generation sequence, etc) but everything is new and fresh enough to be stunning all over again.

There's a new rock music soundtrack, memorable level design the likes of which we rarely seen. Stunning attention to detail and equally amazing application of textures is definite candy for the eyes.

ETC (Earthquake Test Centre) 1 & 2 - Partial Conversions
ETC - contains 9 maps with good use of shadows where enemies can hide, lovely architecture and nice scripted scenes. There are some nice challenging puzzles and enemy fights that are very well designed.
ETC 2 - has 13 maps continuing from where ETC left off though not as spectacular in architecture as before. Perhaps the story is not as compelling as in some other SP mods but the levels are professionally done & a pleasure to play.

Firearms - Multiplayer Total Conversion
In this mod, war battles are simulated, in contrast to Counter-Strike with police and terrorists. Thus, defensive ditches, bunkers, mines and similar things are available. At the start, one selects his equipment and weapons. One has a number of predetermined points which one can distribute into various items, until they are used up. One can decrease body armor or buy more, for example, and also for arms and legs. As with Counter-Strike there are shock, smoke and concusive grenades (however, also Claymore mines) and weapon types of all kinds from the knife to pistol up to MGs (some from CS). In the game, one can gain better skills similar to a role play game. Depending on if how many kills one has, one climbs up in rank from the common private up to the brigade General. By the higher rankings one becomes more exact or quicker (in reloading), injuries become less from falls and soon you can also give orders to other players. One can also move by crawling which has a lower risk of being hit and more accuracy in shooting. Also one gets out of breath if running for too long and must rest. If one is shot, you bleed and must search for yourself a quiet corner to heal within a few seconds. Designwise, Firearms dates back to before Counter-Strike in every area clearly. From the accurate weapon representations of the surroundings, up to the animations - everything looks much cheaper. I have played Firearms up to now only a little bit more than one hour, so cannot review all the singleplayer levels. Nevertheless, to me they appeared to be very realistic. So it depends itself on how uptodate your system is to enjoy the realism as well on how fast the server is that you play multiplayer on. In the end, however, this is another very good mod that I will look in the future to play now and again.

The Gate - Total Conversion
This is an epic adventure the spans over 26 beautifully detailed maps that go from a frozen Poland to a scorching Egypyt. The story revolves around a Time Gate found in Egypt by the Nazis and resealed in a tomb until Americans find it again who again test it by sending a military troop into it but they never return. This has an MP3 Engine coded into the game engine, a fully subtitled German script, full classical music score, the highest polygon models of any HL mod, advance AI scripting for enemy German soldiers. It's difficult and quality varies throughout but all the effort that went into it also shows.

Yet another one of those crazy black and white mods where you get killed for looking at something when you should have been looking at something else. As in the previous two parts, you once again play the role of a victim, thrown into a strange and deadly environment to suffer and die - for the entertainment of whoever is watching! It takes about four to five hours from beginning to end, depending on your skill.

Heart Of Evil A-E - Total Conversion
This continuing mod has accumulated 5 episodes and took over 2 years to make. It contains new weapons, monsters, textures, sounds and code, making it the largest SPHL mod ever at the time of its release. Set in the Vietnam War and inspired by Apocalypse Now/Heart Of Darkness, your mission is to assassinate one renegade colonel by the name of Kurtz, "with extreme prejudice". Unfortunately the only way to get to him is by wading through armies of Viet Cong and hostile US troops, not to mention hordes of the undead roaming the earth and feasting upon the flesh of the living. It's just you, Barney and your chainsaw against the world. In 2007, a fan group set out to enhance the mod with: updated models, skins and animations, maps with new effects and visual improvements, some updated code, modified some weapon behaviours, updated NPC's and other models to higher end models for today's PC's. Also, make it fully compatible with Steam and WON, and add cooperative Play (COOP).

This 30 map pack took 1 year to make and involves time travel. It is heavily influenced by Quake 2 architecture and uses "keys" in order to open some doors. You'll visit a Coca Cola factory, moonbase, Mars, some galaxy etc. The game also includes some Duke Nukem sounds and ideas. There is some "adult content" too so it's not suitable for children. It's a very well designed set of maps.

Naruto: Naiteki Kensei - Total Conversion
This offers a unique fast-paced experience based on the hit Japanese anime Naruto. Players are able to compete online using a system that combines aspects of a third-person shooter and an action-based fighter to provide a new thrilling experience. The system includes casting clever and powerful Jutsus, stringing together Melee combos, evasive acrobatic free-form Movement, and utilizing an array of Weapons with multiple functions all seamlessly. Players are able to transverse through full 3D environments, utilizing various ways of movement such as walking on walls, water, or dashing around the streets of a village. Gameplay consists of three main systems: Weapons that take advantage of a quickfire system, Jutsus that make use of combo based inputs, and Taijutsu abilities that can transfer into aerial combos! Players are able to throw a single Kunai, or a spread of Shurikens to damage opponents and disrupt their Jutsu's. Exploding tags can be stuck on surfaces and players, as well as being able to throw one attached to a Kunai. The Jutsu system allows players to execute powerful Jutsus or techniques. By holding shift, players will then input combo strings of 2-4 using WASD on the keyboard. Correctly inputting a combo will then execute its respective attack. The Taijutsu or melee system is very simple to learn but takes a lot of practice to become the best. The primary function allows players to attack consecutively for five hits before sending your opponent sliding back. The secondary function allows players to knock their opponents into the air, where various other methods of attack can then be executed, such as throwing a weapon, performing a Jutsu, or jumping in the air to continue an aerial combo.

Natural Selection - Multiplayer Total Conversion
This is an extremely popular multiplayer-only Half-life mod where one team plays marines and the other plays aliens. The humans must keep their cool and work together to assault an alien-infested spacecraft or colony. Marines vs. marines and aliens vs. aliens scenarios are also supported. It's a "First-person strategy" with a real resource model and consequences for actions. Both sides are genuinely different and together they accommodate different play styles: Marines - Fighting skill is less important, strategy and communication take its place. Playing as a marine will be a tense experience with methodical planning and strategy, interrupted with action. Aliens - Playing as an alien will be an intense action experience, rewarding reflexes and alien heroics. Communication and coordination don't require typing.

The Opera - Multiplayer Total Conversion
The Opera is a game that places style and flair at its heart. Set in the world of asian gunplay films (Hong Kong Bullet Operas), The Opera offers a multiplayer internet dueling experience where victory is won through playing with ilan and not with efficiency. Developed over a number of years at Redeemed Software The Opera has so far seen a release as a modification, or mod, for the bestselling PC Game Half-Life . The first version of The Opera challenged multiplayer gaming traditions by rewarding players for the method of killing their enemies rather than the kill itself, while at the same time pushing the limits of the Half-Life engine with impressive movement options and animations. There's blazing fast akimbo gunplay mixing shotguns with pistols, amazing acrobatic stunts from the action masters of the far east, and a colourful asian characters with super stylish schticks. A stunning scoring system rewards innovation and aesthetics over pedestrian predictability.

If you are looking for a long mod to play, this which consists of 50 original maps will keep you busy for a while. There are new models, sounds, textures, everything! Uou are Corporal Roger McAllen, a specialized commando whose team is sent in to destroy the WOLF terrorist organization, behind enemy lines. WOLF has developed long range missiles that can target some nearby towns, and letting the towns be razed simply cannot happen.

You and your squad mates are in the middle of a desert, and then hell breaks loose. For nearly all of the mod, you are on your own, which isn't entirely bad, since the NPCs cannot follow you through much of the game. You will continually battle with troops and puzzles, trying to figure out where to go and what to do next. To help you, an innovative "objectives" box can be called upon, and you can read what you are supposed to do anytime.

Poke646 & Poke646 Vendetta - Total Conversion
13 months after the incidents in Half-Life are settled this mod takes place. One has founded a special troop, to help prevent a second similar incident, named Poke646. Generators should prevent a second encounter with Aliens and close the dimensional curtain again. You are only a common worker who suffers an accident, falls in a faint and finds himself alone in the city which has become evacuated. Now the task is to switch on the generators. The textures look finer and for communication this time terminals are used. Poke646 looks quite professional, although it is a free fan-made mod. The scripted events are cool, the level design well-thought-out, the arsenal unusual and witty. I prefer Poke 646 to many better known yet duller games any time. At the end of 2006, Poke 646: Vendetta was released which has 14 new single player maps continuing the original storyline.

Freeman has to retrieve the three Telnorps (Xen butterflies to me and you), that he released entirely by accident while teleporting through the Eye of Ashann. Gordon will have to travel around the globe in search of the Telnorps, as they have been bought by various shady dealers. This mammoth episode will take you from the Himalayas, to an amusement park (where you can actually enjoy the rides), to an import/export facility, to Xen and even to the world of Quake 2. There's great architecture, texturing, and just general visual splendor are all maintained throughout the episode. There are a great deal of custom voices for the various sequences which pop up throughout the episode. Custom models are also present and a nice touch of humor as well.

Residual Point - Total Conversion
This is a very professionally made mod by a Korean mapper, utterly epic (this is longer than Half-Life itself!) and it's even got a few new baddies ("smart" zombie soldiers, fast headcrabs and a few others). The gameplay is very well balanced and never unfair. Most of the environments have been seen before as it takes place in Black Mesa, but the maps themselves are all-new. The scripted sequences are tremendous, too.

Someplace Else - Total Conversion
Single-player Half-Life, with no crates, no soldiers, no air ducts, and a Xen setting. Aren't you just dying to play it? A stand-alone map with a story? Pay attention - things are more complex than they might first appear. Intrigue, subterfuge, and mystery predominate. An ancient machine tainted with human technology, guarded by a vicious pack of Nihilanthi aliens. There are few answers, but many questions. Will they ever be resolved? With a plot which links in to MINERVA for Half-Life 2, Someplace Else is possibly one of the stranger single-player Half-Life maps around. Now updated for Steam, with a new splash-screen, detail textures and an icon, you'll never look at Xen in quite the same way again.

The Specialists - Multiplayer Total Conversion
Similar in respect to The Opera mod with an action movies' gameplay style, this also adds credible realism both for guns and their damages. Firefights, depending from the various gameplays that will be listed, will be both spectacular due to "stunt" moves as well as spectacular for a new implemented particellar system, new muzzle flashes and weapons' realistic power. Players can shot down an enemy just with a burst of 9mm as well as a single shotgun shot.

Sven Co-Op - Co-op Multiplayer Mod
Sven Co-op is a very popular Co-operative based mod where players must work together against computer controlled enemies and solve puzzles as a team. While it has similar weapons, monsters and characters, the difficulty has been increased. Sven Co-op's levels are set as missions and are generally separate from each other. Many missions span several maps, and some are collected together in a series. The aim of most levels is to reach the end or to achieve an objective -- obtaining a high score is not essential to beat a level, its just part of the fun.

Sweet Half-Life - Total Conversion
From the makers of Peaces Like Us comes another great 27-level mod. The level design, the puzzles, and the game flow are all first-rate. SHL has a couple of new enemies (including a pretty tough heavy grunt), new weapons in addition to the original HL weapons, and even friendly scientists in HEV suits that can kick some serious ass with the rocket launcher or the tau cannon. Also well done is the use of music (both the CD audio and new music tracks, including some Vivaldi). The architecture is decent and the combat is well-balanced (including the rather tough boss encounters), but what really stand out are the sequences and cutscenes.

They Hunger 1-3 - Total Conversions

These are single-player mods from Neil Manke. The levels are eventful and come up with one or another surprise. The animations and graphics are not quite overwhelming (but whoever likes zombie films won't be disappointed as the senses are atmospherically well played with). The trilogy came into being about several years and became better and better configured. One begins with more opponents, better textures etc. in the first part in a cemetery and must ward off (unusually) only with an umbrella the zombie arms. Also in general these zombies are to be killed not by several body shots, like usual opponents, but after some hits to the head. There are some level puzzles, some which are not as evident as you go onward, however, I have found none which can't be solved after thinking a little - even if it does not seem quite often so. One meets different zombies and you can also use vehicles, trains or boats on the way. In a radio station (from the Intro) one finds out that one should fight through to a police station. The second part begins seamlessly with this police station as well as in and around a psychiatric clinic which plays a big part in the story (from there the evil enemy seems to have originated from). In the third part, it goes on with the psychiatric clinic. Enemy AI is more brilliant than the player expects and scripted film sequences become more numerous and better. The conclusion of the trilogy is an intensive game experience which stops, unfortunately, only 2/3rds of what was planned. However, to this day it still maintains high respect (in spite of outdated engine). Level designers should take this as example to themselves in how to make gameplay exciting. Altogether They Hunger (for the old engine) offers really good entertainment, even if the beginning is a little bit tentative. Until the first cool places come, already has passes half to three quarters of an hour in gameplay. Then, however, the game never lets you go so fast. The action is continued mostly on radios or tape recorders, one gets to learn things from scientists and people of other backgrounds. All in all, They Hunger for me has been a very positive surprise. Even if the playing time is only about 12 hours, nevertheless, these are more entertaining than with some new retail products with better graphics, but less spirit.

Timeline 1-3 - Total Conversions
The first in this series involves a bunch of renegade Marines who have kidnapped a couple of scientists who have been working on time travel. And now, they're tampering in God's domain, as evidenced by a bunch of Nazi flags all over the place. Your mission is to screw them up completely, even if it means going into various eras. From a central hub in one map, you get to travel to three different periods of human history (the entire story is not confined to this single hub; there's more beyond this): Egyptian, Roman, and the Civil War. You also get to see a vision of a horrifying alternate future in which the Nazis bomb New York. Grand, impressive architecture is set in sparsely-populated maps and there's really difficult gameplay. There are a few places where you might experience new highs in frustration, but essentially it's good for a long (30 maps), enjoyable gaming experience.
In Timeline 2:Iced Earth, after the events in the first one that the G-Man has sent you to a parallel Earth, one that's suffering through another Ice Age and some guys from Xen have shown up. You're sent to stop the Xen-creeps before they conquer your Earth when they're through with this one. There are great maps (high on impressive views), infuriatingly complex puzzles, and much more combat than in the first episode. There's a snow sled ride has got to be the ultimate capper to any map yet made. Also, you will be in a wild airplane ride, and shot into space as well among the 47 maps.
Timeline 3:Heart Of Darkness has a great new 2-map hazard course, beautiful 56!! maps this time using hi-definition pack and you go from a hundred or so years in the past to insanely distant future dates. One fascinating segment was traveling in a certain Mr. Wells' time machine. There is varied combat difficulty,spectacular scenery and tough puzzles again.

Todesangst 1 & 2 - Total Conversions
The first in this series has a plot-twisting story deriving from Half-Life, a well-coordinated and entertaining ending, and thoughtfully executed gameplay. Intriguing cutscenes meaningfully convey the story and draw it all to a grand finale (respectively). In between is an experience that condenses almost all of the best parts of Half-Life. The situational puzzles are clear enough so as to not need the walkthrough, enemy placement is devious, and the scripted sequences sprinkled around keep the adrenaline high.
In the sequel, the scope of Todesangst 2: der echte Feind, in comparison to the original is much greater. While the original TC was essentially a map pack for Half-Life, T2DEF is a full-blown modification, including new weapons, enemies, music, customized voice acting, and a lot of new code that allows for some pretty neat tricks (such as mp3 support, fog, and some cool camera systems that you will get a chance to use). This time instead of making a map pack alone, Daryn "Peppyfool" Waite has both expanded his capabilities and added a supporting team to help build T2DEF into the full mod that it is. It's a lot of fun to play, and is certainly one of the very best Half-Life packs to come out recently. After a well-done opening sequence, you are treated to a fairly long game in T2DEF, full of well-designed maps. Architecture is solid throughout, and the overall pack is well laid out and flows very well as a whole (with the noted exception of the cutscenes). The mod itself is divided into three distinct episodes which lead you to varied locales with varied objectives, which are typically explained in the cutscenes.

The Trap - Total Conversion
This mod is a collection of very thoughtful maps that require the player to find solutions to puzzles with little to no shooting. Each section gets progressively harder, as you would expect. IF you love puzzles then you will definitely enjoy this. There's plenty of pulling levers, finding cables and switches, jumping to difficult places etc. And sometimes your enemy is your friend! It's very long and has voice-acting. In later levels you will have a helper.

Underworld Bloodline - Multiplayer Total Conversion
This is an official movie tie-in Half-Life mod that was released for free to the public as promotional material for the film. For a mod that only took about two months to create, the amount of new content in Underworld: Bloodline is impressive indeed. There are two teams: Vampires and Lycans (werewolves), and the gameplay describes itself as Capture the Flag with a, "live target instead of a flag." Your goal is to find and capture the Hybrids and return them safely to a prison cell at your home base, battling any enemy fighters in your path. Once captured, the Hybrids will regenerate and win points for your team. Each team scores 1 point for every enemy kill, 10 points for a Hybrid capture, but loses 5 points if they kill the Hybrid by accident. The team with the most points at the end of the match wins. Each team has four nearly interchangeable classes, all sharing a similar arsenal of machine guns, pistols, and bladed-type weapons. There's a "superhuman mode" which works a little like Day of Defeat's stamina system that allows Lycans to move faster and Vampires to jump higher. The biggest knock against Underworld: Bloodline is that there's only two official maps to play, but they're pretty huge, intricate maps that'll probably take you awhile to learn. This is a bit of a disappointment coming from Neil Manke who has made some excellent mods in the past.

Uplink Lite - Total Conversion
This is the original demo with all-new levels not seen in the game but designed to work with the "Custom Game" option in Half-Life. It weighs in at a mere 4 MB. Note that the Hazard Course maps are not included in the download - Uplink Lite only contains the 3 maps that compose the actual new material. Uplink takes place 48 hours after the "accident" in the retail game. You are in another part of the Black Mesa complex trying to get to shelter in the Lambda reactor complex. However, the main door to get in is sealed shut and can only be opened by another government agency. Unfortunately, the comm link to contact them is down. You will have to get to the surface and find the communications satellite dish, and re-establish the uplink, thereby getting you to safety. Scripted sequences really shine, and they're what set Uplink apart. Together with very well-executed scenes that take advantage of the AI, you can hardly travel for more than a minute or so without encountering another place with a scripted sequence.

U.S.S. Darkstar - Single Player Episode
Neil Manke's Darkstar has you work as a player on a research ship, who is later in it woken up to what actually is going on. One is expected at an experiment and is on the way there. Moreover, one must get familiar with the whole ship. This lasts awhile, particularly as the way is not very evident. The communications are spoken and clears some mystery, unfortunately, only a little. In the end, one gets to his destination where one becomes a witness to an alien encounter. Chaos breaks out shortly after and one loses consciousness. When one comes to, there are shrill alarm sirens, and the ship is out of control. One is still unarmed and some enemies wander around. The Facehuggers have attached to some scientists and others still hop about. One must first fight differently against the beasts, about a control chair with which one can steer a laser ray which is helpful. However, when you reached a locked area, one must consider how one gets to the next area. The puzzle density in Darkstar is considerable. Even if one cannot always figure them out (unfortunately, from time to time one must go back and find somewhere another way), patience is a must. Altogether Neil Manke's level design is also in this early work entrancing. However, the high density in puzzles or places in which one has to think a little, will not inspire every shooter fan who likes more action. But Manke was also able to present in Darkstar to the player some cool ideas never seen in Half-Life yet. The purpose of the game is to reach and board a rescue capsule. There is no final boss (which I find positive).

Vampire Slayer - Multiplayer Total Conversion
When the game starts you choose a team, Vampire or Slayer. The game is played in rounds where the teams have to wipe out the opposition. More scenarios regarding round objectives are planned. The game pits the speed and physical dexterity of the Vampires against the weaponry of the Slayers. Vampires can move quicker, jump higher, leap at opponents. Slayers are mere mortals but use shotguns, machine guns and crossbows to fight their enemy. Although Vampires have no ranged weapons, their close up attack is deadly. Vampires can move quietly to get close enough to use this attack. Vampires cannot be killed with bullets alone. You must either stake them or use the "stake firing crossbow" to properly kill a Vampire. If a Vampire is knocked down with bullets and is not staked, the Vampire will rise again. Vampires can feed off dead bodies to recover health. This is a fun horror multiplayer mod.

Vengeance - Total Conversion
Vengeance is a French mod set from where Half Life finished. Consider it the second chapter. Black Mesa has been destroyed, and the good doctor Smith has moved camp to another location. There are cutscenes explaining the story at the start & throughout the program. There are humongous outdoor areas with panoramic views and a plethora of detail. Eye candy is in abundance when it comes to this episode. For the 24 levels, the fighting takes a long time to pick up and doesn't really become challenging until the final one-third of the episode.

Wanted - Total Conversion
One slips into the role of a sheriff, Rogan Black, with a past. He escaped in his youth from a massacre, his parents and his brother having died. Rogan is a sheriff of a very small town, Redrock. A telegram provides for excitement. The Colonel and his band are nearby making a dreadful state of affairs. Thus he sets off to stop them. One does not have a lot of ammunition as a sheriff. In the wilderness, one meets principally scorpions (who dig themselves from the earth) and rattlesnakes. Throw in later also mine workers who have firearms and sometimes dynamite. Also Indians, Mexicans and cowboys are met. A bear also crosses the way of the player and a puma. Now and then one meets allies whose help you, however, not often. From time to time somebody opens sometimes a gate or a door. Most of the time one moves through wilderness, because principally it is a place of mines and mine work. One kills some 100 of these guys. As for weapons, there is a Winchester, a Smith & Wesson, a shotgun, thrusting weapons - later also a Gatling gun (with which the enemies can shoot by far more precisely, than you yourself). What irritates is how many opponents have weapons (also Gatling guns), however nobody leaves ammunition. One may also shoot with 2 (rusty) pistols at the same time or help himself to a handy, portable cannon. All textures are new, the weapons rather pretty, also the opponents are different from all in Half-Life. By the end one must go back to Redrock which brings the band there also and, in the end, his own past must be faced and overcome. Wanted does have fun in certain places, but the mines are dull. Because there are barely any western games in the first person shooter genre, one should give it a go and take a risk on it, however. Less big levels would probably have been better.

Xeno Project 1 & 2 - Total Conversions
The Xeno Project begins right after you decide to work for the "G-Man". You are going to the Xeno complex to begin your assignments and training, which is on the planet Xen. Everything is OK until the military comes in and tries to take over. Your objective throughout all the levels in this set is just to get back to Earth. Gameplay on the whole is pretty well done though it can get a bit boring at points.
In The Xeno Project 2, it picks up right where the original left off, and thrusts you right into the action. You've been detained on the government ship's brig, and once you break out, you're on your own again. The map starts off a bit slow, with the obligatory intro sequence and some mildly amusing scientist humor, but quickly gets into the combat. Most of your play time with this one will consist of your romp through the ship. Along the way, you'll face challenging gunfights, a few puzzles (though fairly minor) to spice things up, and some neat surprises. The cutscenes the break up the action throughout and the new dialogue adds shine to a unit that is already polished with some really nice visuals.

Zombie Panic - Multiplayer Total Conversion
Zombie Panic! is essentially a zombies vs. human survivors mod, with the zombies trying to wipe out the humans, and vice versa. The catch that makes it fun and interesting is that all players except one join the human team at the start of the round, and only one person starts off as a zombie. The zombies respawn when killed, but when a human is killed he respawns as a zombie, and joins in hunting down his former friends. Ammo is a scarce resource, so you can't simply run around guns blazing, or you'll run out of ammo in no time, and be easy prey. The more weapons and ammo you carry, the slower you move, so sharing ammo after an ammo run is a good idea.

These S3TC textures that come with the 2nd Unreal Tournament CD-ROM can also be used in Unreal. You need a graphics card that supports S3TC (all S3 Savage, nVidia GeForce and ATI Radeon cards do). Your current Unreal makes use of 256 color textures, in size they vary from 32 x 32 pixels up to 256 x 256 pixel. S3TC textures however can be High color (65,536 colors) and even True colors (16,777,216 colors) while the texture size Unreal supports can be as high 1024 x 1024 pixels. The fact that the compression can be that high and fast makes it possible to do this without noticable lag on your videocard. Another interesting fact is, these texture are of higher quality than UT 2003 and UT 2004 !!!

Tower of Shrakith'a - Singleplayer Map Pack
While on an archaeological expedition on an alien planet you discover a medallion. Suddenly you are taken to a mysterious alien world on some distant planet. After crashing through the wall of a Nali house you are taken to a bedchamber after a five hour nap you are told by the Nali living in the house how you may get back to your world. This map pack succeeds because of its blend of atmospheric design and dynamic, heavily scripted gameplay. Ask any seasoned Unreal SP player where their favourite custom map moments have occurred and it is likely that one or two will have come from this map pack. One particular incident involving a Nali and a tray of drinks springs to mind! It just pours on atmosphere with well chosen music, great eye candy (architechture is better than Unreals in most spots), lots of Krall to kill (my favorite part), ambient rain and nature sounds, perfectly balanced enemies and items, a decent cutscene at the end, and no apparent visual glitches and a nice and smooth framerate.

Forgotten Enemies - Total Conversion
This is an expansion pack created by members of the game's community with some technical support from two of the game's original developers. It takes place a good time after the events of BZII, and adds 2 new alien races, the Hadean Crown & the Cerberi Collective, to the game and features an entire new story. (The story however, follows the events of the 'Scion' plotline, rather than the 'ISDF' plotline, in which the Scions are destroyed.) In this expansion pack, the ISDF, looking to shed any association with the embarrassment suffered under General Armond Braddock, change their name to the EDF, or Earth Defense Force. They currently share an uneasy truce with the Scions who have not yet forgotten the wrath of Braddock. The Scions, while scouting in space, report a disturbance coming from a wormhole. This transmission is cut off, however, leaving the EDF to go on the defensive. The 'disturbance' turns out to be the Hadeans, another race, whose intentions are unclear. Later on, the player encounters the Cerberi, a race of mechanical beings whose motive is also uncertain.

Bootleg Squadron was born out of the author's frustration of the wasted potential of Opposing Force's friendly soldiers.

You may even recognize an area or two from your previous experiences at Black Mesa. There are collapsing platforms, well-planned ambushes, and things blowing up left and right. And there was never a dull moment, since lots of combat filled the spots between the major sequences. Opposing Force allows much more variety in enemies and weapons, and this is taken advantage of in this pack with challenging and diverse battles.

Along with crisp new sound effects, high quality models which polygon counts are hardly never below 1,000 keep the always proud Opposing Force looking its best.

DeFRaG - Partial Conversion
This is a non-violent mod dedicated to player movements and trickjumping. It aims at providing a platform for self-training, competition, online tricking, machinima making, and trickjumping.
It includes a variety of features—timers and meters, ghost mode, cheat prevention and learning tools. Specially designed maps are provided that will rely on the player's movement abilities to be completed up to the finish line, while standard Q3A maps and Capture the Flag (CTF) fast captures are supported as well. Furthermore gamespace physics from both the original Q3A and the Challenge ProMode Arena (CPMA) mod are supported. There are no opponents to be vanquished during the run. Because of their design many of these maps cannot be completed by normal player skills; rather trickjumping skills are indispensable. Furthermore start-, checkpoints-, and stop-triggers are built into the maps. As a proof of the accomplishment the mod automatically records a demo of every map completed successfully. Along with the demo, the precise time in which the map was completed is stored.

Infiltration - Multiplayer Total Conversion
Infiltration is an immersion into realism, driven by intense military combat, in a squad-based, mission-oriented shooter. Each of those missions brings the distinctive taste of multifaceted warfare in any environment you can imagine. You will choose your gear prior to the mission, based on the kind of soldier you want to be. Decide from a cache of modern-day weapons, keeping in mind the size and weight of the equipment and how much you can carry. Each mission will allow you to become a unique soldier, based on the equipment and skill you contribute to the tasks at hand. The different venues you will be called into won't have weapons and ammunition lying about. You must bring in what you can carry, and salvage what you need from comrades or the enemy. We give you the tools to do the job. How you do it is up to you. Take the skills you learn in one battle to help you with future missions and objectives. If you become a talented sniper, it's because you develop the skill to use the weapon and tactics properly and effectively. Keep in mind that these bullets are for real. One well placed shot, and you are out! Use common sense, pay attention to detail, and watch your buddy's back. The essence of teamwork separates the winners from the dead. Take your missions seriously, and move with diligence. Running around aimlessly will only put your team, and the entire mission, at risk. Play it smart, and you might come out of this alive.

Project Zephon - Single Player Total Conversion
Most of Project Zephon's maps are, visually, absolutely stunning. Architecture, textures and lighting come together to create the most convincingly freezing location ever seen in any Unreal single player project released to date. Project Zephon takes the icy high-tech theme seen in Hourences' famous Xidia Gold map Genome Warriors and implements it on a grand scale, suffusing almost every map with a harsh, frigid sense of coldness. It would seem that, with much of Project Zephon, the reigning champion Xidia Gold has finally been beaten for a dramatic and memorable rendition of a high-tech Unreal theme. In August, 2010 a new version of Zephon was released named Battle For Freedom v2.0 with completely re-made gameplay, as well as various map improvements and online co-op.

Cold... Dark... Alone. You have no memory of who or where you are. Smoke and noise assault your senses. Searching your surroundings, you discover you're aboard the Military/Science Deployment vessel GDU Antimatter Discharge. As your memory quickly recovers, you listen to the sounds of the ship. It creaks and moans as it slowly tumbles in a decaying orbit. You play as a female Science Officer aboard a General Deployment Unit, the Antimatter Discharge. Your duty was to assist in deploying a man-made wormhole device in orbit around a moon in a distant star system, thus completing an intricate network of jump-points. But something's not right. No one seems to be alive. The ship is on emergency power. And the distant noises you hear are not human...
Spatial Fear has an incredible amount of new features ranging from NPC conversations to vehicles. An action performed in one level can also directly influence the course in another level. This mod has a creepy System Shock 2 feel to it.

Thievery UT - Total Conversion
This modification changes UT into a whole new game, pitting a team of thieves against a team of guards in a pseudo-medieval setting.
It was released by Black Cat Games in 2001. Thievery uses the stealth gameplay and medieval/steampunk theme of Thief: The Dark Project and Thief II: The Metal Age but instead focuses on multiplayer. Not only do you get the opportunity to commit crimes and escape with loads of money, but you can also load yourself down with weaponry and stalk around like the medieval equivalent of the Doom marine. The matches all center on a target area, usually a single building (though a few levels, like "Flats", take place in and around the city, allowing you to hide on rooftops, down alleyways, and in the sewer systems). The guards start the match within the structure, while the thieves begin on the outskirts of it somewhere, giving the guards time to set up traps and ambush points.
Rather like Counter-Strike, players are given a chance to buy weapons at the beginning of the map. The different weapons and accessories compliment a different array of play styles as well. For those of you who want to practice your skills, instant action is also available, and the bots are actually very good.

Hotel Carone - Singleplayer Partial Conversion
One of the first huge mods for Deus Ex with a few levels, but they're huge, and quite engaging. An SP mission that lets you stay with UNATCO a little longer, an option many people, like myself, have missed while playing Deus Ex. This is not a simple 'shoot'em all'-type mission, the player has to proceed with care. Stealth is actually important, though probably not 100% necessary if you know what you have to do. Especially in the main map the player is not forced to move around in a certain way. The level design provides many possible paths and different outcomes, the order for completing the objectives is not important, you can even fail some of them. It consists of 6 maps; 4 of them playable, 1 End-Sequence and 1 "Main Menu background map". The Mission is set right after Mission 3 of the original game and assumes you haven't killed Lebedev in the 747.
It has several new classes(not just the Elevator), new models, a new weapon and lots of custom textures.

TNM boasts nearly fifteen hours of solid gameplay. And, as with Deus Ex, TNM offers non-linear RPG/Action in a cyberpunk-themed universe. After claiming your allegiance to either PlanetDeusEx or World Corp, the adventure splits, having “completely different stories that will keep you entertained from start to finish.” Apart from the main task at hand, there are many smaller side stories that offer superb replayability and depth to this mod. Furthermore, professional voice acting has been added for the majority of TNM’s dialogue, cutting out large chunks of text that often plague RPG’s.

Convergence takes place on SRIII, site of the wreckage of the U.S.S. Ulysses, a matter of months after the conclusion of The Fallen. The alleged purpose of the facility was to construct a weapon capable of being deployed for planetary defense. The source of power for this weapon system relates directly to the story of the Pah'Wraiths, and to the ancient Orbs that they fashioned. The weapon promised to be of immense power, and it could ostensibly be deployed to protect any civilization from attack...the Cardassians have other plans, however. There's in-game cinematics and some unique NPC characters, such as StarFLeet personnel. These will have unique identies and custom dialogue. The gameplay is very much action-oriented. Probably more than in the original. The missions do incorporate some minor puzzle elements, but not to the point of annoyance. Convergence is set in a desperate situation, with much at stake, and many violent forces vying for control of the "secrets" on SR-III. Experienced players of The Fallen will find the missions very challenging, especially the later ones. First-time players will have have a short time to hone their skills in the opening levels, but even these are not easy.

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force

Colony 7 - Singleplayer Total Conversion
Colony 7 is one of the most successful mods in the EF community. It has a lot of action and a really good story line! The 1st chapter depicts the Klingon invasion of Hetlek station, a Starfleet outpost near the former Neutral Zone. You help Gordon Dufresne, a Starfleet ensign, to survive the onslaught. The 2nd chapter is set five weeks before the events of the 1st. You take control of Illia Ericcson, an agent of an organization whose name is only known to a very small circle. You learn of the Klingon's plan to attack Hetlek station and uncover a terrible secret. In the 3rd chapter the epic storyline comes to a closure. The story is just excellent and the whole idea of releasing chapters rather than the entire mod at once is one of the reasons Colony 7 has been so successful! Filled with action, the third chapter is not bereft of challenge. There are a number of 'puzzles' and such that help keep the player interested in the game. The maps were simply stunning! A lot of detail and depth. Good use of sound, and very well done cinematics! The previous chapters were nicely merged into the third one and the story switches were very seamless. The third chapter also introduces a new menu system in EF compared to the previous Colony 7 launcher that accompanied the previous chapters.

Starbase 11 - Total Conversion
This is a single-player mod and is based on the original Star Trek series. It allows the player to tour and explore this sprawling base as it was in the year 2267. Starbase 11 was seen in two TOS episodes, "Courtmartial" and "The Menagerie", and most of the areas seen in those episodes have been recreated for this mod. The mod goes beyond what was seen on television, however, and new areas have been designed and built to create all the facilities one would expect to find at a starbase. The tour portion of the mod is divided into two main sections: the planetside base; and an orbital facility. Each section includes maps of several buildings and areas, and there are hubs from which you can travel back and forth between maps. In addition to the tour portion, there are sixteen combat missions in which you fight against enemies such as Klingons, Romulans, Orion Pirates, and Gorn. These missions can be run from within the tour portion as holographic simulations, like the holodeck programs in Elite Force's original single-player campaign and expansion pack.

Calendra's Legacy - Fan-Made Mission
This is a sequel to Calendra's Cistern made by the same designer. Gameplay that is good in every way that Thief gameplay can be good, with very high replay value; beautiful visuals; an interesting and well-developed story; an overwhelming amount of extra detail. Cons: Your system might not be up to playing it. Otherwise, there really aren't any major flaws in this mission pack. Bottom Line: The best fan mission to date.

T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age - Fan-Made Expansion Pack
Even though it's closely tied to the Thief 2 universe, it features a whole new story and also a new, female protagonist. T2X was in development for five years, when finished reached 655MB in it's compressed form, and as such is probably the only, or at least one of very few fan made game expansions/FMs to have had such a lengthy and elaborate development. Every aspect was taken into consideration during this time to make it as professional looking as possible, from the ingame cutscenes, the music- voice- and ambient sounds, remodelling, level making and texturing, to the story writing and gameplay mechanics. More than 60 artists, designers, writers and programmers from the gaming community have contributed their talents to realize a fresh new Thief experience. Thirteen full-length missions take the action through city streets and rooftops, ancient tombs, hotels, museums, cathedrals and more in a gripping tale of vengeance and deception. Ten new weapons and tools provide the means to evade, outwit, and out-fight your opponents, as well as bringing unprecedented levels of emergent gameplay to the Thief series. Hundreds of new models, textures and sounds: 3000 lines of new dialogue. Four beautifully-rendered cutscenes and twelve new briefings in the original Thief style. A new main character with a fluid, immersive narrative that grips the player until the last scene.
