What Half Life 2 mods are you waiting for

bananaman · Mar 14, 2006, 03:03 PM

Given that HAlf Life 2 seems to be being modded like there is no tomorrow and we are getting to a time when some pretty good mods like Dystopia are coming out I wondered what mods you are looking forward to the most. Hopefully we should be able to share round some of the best looking mods for HL2

For me, I am very much looking forwardto Insurgency ("Ins") http://www.insmod.net/ as it seems to have a more tactical gameplay element due to its realism and should really raise the tension with actual fear of being hit

check out http://www.insmod.net/mod.php for a little tour of the mod

as a note I think the main guy behind this was one of the guys behind Red Orchestra for UT

so what is everyone else looking forward to?

I mostly don't play alot of mods, just the original game online after single player missions. The ins mod looks like BF2. Not that's not a bad thing looks pretty good.

I like C&C games so I'll be waiting for this one. By then maybe Episode 1 of the new exp will be out.

I think they would crucify you if you said it was like BF2 on the Ins boards.

Ins looks like BF2 as they are both modern combat, but Ins will play very differently as it is much more geared towards realism and thus will force teamwork and it is also infantry based not vehicular as BF2 is.

ViP3RH3LL · Mar 14, 2006, 03:32 PM

Ah, team-based that what's we need more of, mostly when I join a server everyone is running around by themselves grabbing weapons and ammo then get blasted by a sniper when they get out of the building. With a team intact you have a counter-sniper to help your spawn point.

That mod does look really interesting.

SFOSOK · Mar 14, 2006, 06:27 PM

World at War, it will be made by the original creators of Firearms (best mod for HL1).

topbob · Mar 14, 2006, 06:29 PM

nitrousoxide52 · Mar 14, 2006, 08:53 PM

Black Mesa source looks very interesting, a real remake of Half-life 1, should be awsome!

Nightwatch(!), Black Mesa Source, Metastasis (Two are out, it's an episodic release, they're great), svencoop, the list goes on.

I downloaded that HL2: Substance mod and wow did they ever add a bunch of cool stuff. I just played it for an hour and it was really tough.

the big Firefly · Mar 18, 2006, 01:27 PM

Like in HL1. man i remember playing thet with my friend at school when i was in 9th grade. like HL OP. that was fun...we still play it sometime just to bring back some memories.... why didnt they put in a MP funtion in the game when it came out. that was readly the down side of the game for me............
