Very impressive campaign map played that I used my first BO6 weapon for this playthrough.

How much time is required to beat all Half-Life 2 Mods, including Episode I and Episode II in total as an estimation on the difficulty of Easy? So many games are released today I can't believe my eyes. They release too many goddam indie games, too many of them created by bots or even Chat GPT, can you believe it? People are using bots to crate over 10.000 games every year. There's no even time to play them! Videogame indystry is SATURATED like HELL, they are copying and imitating AAA's games to ...
I just got hooked on some BM maps recently, as I just played the fantastic BM Blueshift chapter 5.
And I downloaded some more BM Singleplayer content, and noticed the lack of clear setup instructions for setting up and launching these kinds of maps and mods.
Well, here I'd like to provide some of the basic logic to install and play the Workshop maps.
1) You need to "subscribe" to the workshop content you want to use, or the maps you like to play.
2) The content will download auto...
Love this short campaign that takes place in the oil rig which I havent played for a long time. I did this as a coop with my brother as a playthrough and turns out well. Very great small map.
https://youtu.be/TT0O6KOryH8...
I liked this campaign that I played it in Gmod. So playing it in Gmod may not be recommended cuz the ally becomes a citizen unarmed. So play from the HL2 engine.
Most of the time it's just me fighting them but still good one:)

Pretty fun mappack, most of them are good. I only skipped one which is photosensitive because i didn't know what to do tbh and didn't have the patience to find it. Maybe will check it later again....
It's eh. Average I say. Map is too short. Basically killing Kleiner and just escape. It's too easy to complete tho.
I didn't enjoy it but I just want to play it to use different guns as a playthrough ngl

This was my longest map that I play this month and was a blast. Dude that last map that you are surrounded by tonnes of Hunters that they could die from it but I lived with a MWII shotgun with a drum mag.

Teaming up with the combine is one of the best gameplays I played. I played this before like more than 3 years ago and made into a video. Really enjoyed this short map:)

Map is not bad. It may be difficult to playthrough and some part can be a bit confusing that I did struggle to get through but managed to for a long period of time.
Decent map but hard to play through

Love this map that takes place in the prison full of combines. I recommend this. I thought it took place in the original HL2 prison but its way different:)

Howdy all!
I've lurked on this site for a few years now, and thought I'd finally get around to making an account. I've been enjoying Half-Life since my older siblings introduced me to it as a small child (I might have been as young as 6 or so?). I'm afraid I don't have too much else to say, other than that I'm very happy to join you all here :)
Have a good one!...
yo these random, chaotic corridors kinda break the immersion. As if any sane architect would ideate these claustrophobic concrete mazes.
Tram ride was kinda boring. Valve gave you stuff to look at, not a bunch of long, empty tunnels.
Pretty solid level design. Far more interesting than the tram ride. The zig-zagging corridor maze doesn't make much sense, but it's fun to play through.
Challenging combat that often had me feeling like I didn't have the right weapons for the job. Eventuall...
pretty decent joke mod, short and not that clever...
A lot of combat that I have been experiancing. In like a Nova Proskpect against a ton of combines which I love going against. I challenged myself with an assault rifle with a sniper and a weak pistol. The sniper im using takes long to cycle and reload.
Love the map when saving Alyx:)

Whoops, got cut off a bit there. Here's that last sentence:
"Felt like a highlight reel of the author's best stuff. No filler here, just non-stop intense action. Highly recommended."...
Loved the intro. Fast-paced and intense, puts pressure on the player to M O V E without feeling unfair.
Intuitive mapping and combat. Battles felt high-stakes, but the ambushes were fair and the game gives you plenty of cover to turn back the tables.
That bright office felt liminal and familiar. A silent reprieve from the blaring sirens.
Clever Houndeye use to trap the player. These enemies are often too easy and feel more like killing pets than dangerous aliens, so I can applaud a mod ...
I used to play this map in Gmod before but couldn't find a way to proceed until now. Very nice campaign and I challenged myself to used a Sniper and it was difficult due to lots of combines but lived.
Play this map guys
My playthough here: https://youtu.be/NKYO3YuRr7s...
The Ropes (I never actually knew it was called that until now) is a series of very large and open maps set in the bowels of Black Mesa. In fact, these maps are large to a fault. A lot of the time the NPCs are at such a distance that they won't even notice you. Then, whenever they do spot you and engage, they need to move a considerable distance to enter their attack range. This often means that enemies can be picked off at long range with the glock before they become a concern.
Also, the scal...
This is a large cuboid room, with Xen textures, some enemies and weapons dotted around. It hasn't even been compiled with lighting. I will waste no more time writing about it....
Aggregate Pain is yet another short mod that I remember from back in the day. This one definitely came on a PCGamer CD here in the UK.
This is a short but sweet map pack, not particularly impressive but mostly just a gruntfest in an industrial setting. The opening is pretty cool, where you can wait for the grunt to pass you by and then have a minute or so to get some weapons before he comes back. The rest of the maps are just run and gun against more grunts, as is standard for these kinds of ...
Xen Again very much plays like a map made by somebody just learning the ropes of Half-Life mapping. It features buttons to open doors, NPCs walking to a single computer and pushing a button and a teleporter to "Xen."
As a playable map however, you start with the crowbar and no HEV and have to make your way to a lab area. This is where you can get your suit. Supposedly you can also find a gauss gun, but I managed to miss it and I am considering that a mark against the map.
I then ran throug...
Two Smoking Barrels is one of the older maps I specifically remember NOT finishing as a kid. This is likely because of the level change issue between maps one and two, which sadly still exists here. There are also a couple of other issues I have with TSB which make it JUST fall short of a Personal Favourite rating.
The map starts off well, with a crowbar required to progress from the starting area and an HEV suit available to you before any combat starts. Whi...

The Evil World is the first Half-Life map from Martin Schultz who according to the readme has released other maps for Quake 2. I would assume based on this map that they may have also dabbled in Quake 1 because that appears to be the DNA that spirals through this entire map pack.
First of all, I know full well what it's like not having access to texture creation tools, especially in the late 90s. The Evil World has an entirely custom texture set and it has to be said that it's a little bizarr...
Exodus 2 has a lot of the same problems as the original and a few new ones. Once again it's clearly an early attempt at Half-Life mapping as things feel a little unbalanced to start with. Right from the get go, you're fighting everything from headcrabs to alien grunts and even the occasional controller. The issue is that all of these enemies have just been crammed into narrow corridors and small rooms, meaning the combat devolves into lobbing grenades blindly around corners or standing in place ...
Urgh, another one I remember and I suspect I only ever beat this using godmode when I was younger. Optimum Fear is an action packed map pack set in incredibly cramped tunnels. Seriously, almost ever room is an exercise in frustration as you get stuck on everything. Perhaps the author wasn't terribly comfortable with scales yet, but every room feels like it would benefit from being two times bigger.
This pack is also prone to several of what I call level design sins. Constantly ambushes the pl...
Now this one is iconic in my eyes. As with many others of these early releases, I played this one when it came on a PCGamer disk. The starting area is burned into my brain and the whole area totally holds up. There is a bit of an issue finding the crowbar at first, but eventually I just kinda tripped over it. The map loses out on being a personal favourite because of my gripe with getting weapons before the HEV suit, but at least there's no significant combat encounters before then. You can actu...

Used to play this before that I havent got HL2 EP1 and EP2 mounted but now I finally get to complete this. A very good campaign. Combine battles was one of my favourite tings when killing them:)

Average map. The second map was just nothing when reaching to the top.
it was ok
https://youtu.be/9hyhILdbJyQ...
This map is really really short with small maps. I played it a lot years ago in Gmod so could say players will like this map as a warm up

Here's a hot tip for the budding mappers out there in 2025 on-wards. If your player has just done something that is going to lock them into a room and veeerrry slooowwwly kill them? Maybe don't autosave at that point. Just saying.
Exodus is of course, another classic that I recall playing as a youngun. I don't believe I've ever finished it without cheating until today, because as is typical of the time, you start the map in a three way battle with no HEV suit! GAAARGH! I don't know what promp...

The third thing I experience with "bow" was... the level design tutorial level? Sure it's been extended a little and includes an "outdoor" section and some stairs but... this is the map you could make following the guide that came w...
This is very clearly one of the author's early attempts at mapping as it contains almost every beginner mistake that there is. Walls with equal thickness to the walls so you see tons of z-fighting whenever one opens. Buttons on the other side of rooms, or in some cases in totally different rooms leaving you to guess what you actually achieved by pushing them. Breakable and unbreakable crates that are identical in appearance. Putting the player in combat with no HEV suit. It's all here. There is ...
The Silo Station is another relatively simple map with some uninspiring combat against the HECU and some Xen creatures. Once again this is a map pack that does not give you an HEV suit, so you will need to use the give item_suit command if you want to easily switch weapons and keep track of your health and ammo. I don't know why this was so common in these earlier maps. Was it supposed to be part of the challenge because I have to say, you can keep your challenge to yourself.
The fact that th...
So far, this is the first HL1 map ever recorded/released,

Sooo, Soft Boiled. I don't know how I came to have a copy of this map in my youth, but I can guarantee you two things. First, I had no idea it was called Soft Boiled, running the command "map sb3," I figured it was just called sb3. Second, had I known it was called Soft Boiled, I wouldn't have made the connection to John Woo's Hard Boiled because I'd never heard of it and to this day I've never seen it. Perhaps if I HAD seen it then some of the stuff this map expects me to just know would have b...
If I were to describe Dark Force in a single word, it would be "inconsistent." The environments look great, except when they don't. You can break open crates for weapons and ammo, except when you can't. You are over-equipped and the combat is trivial, until it isn't. It seems that rules which apply in one map do not carry over to the next and this is constant throughout the mod.
It has to be said, that when the environments look good, they really do shine. Some sections have the tell tale sig...
I remember this one, but I never finished it before because it does something I cannot stand. A lot of action and weapon pickups PRIOR to getting the suit. Back in the 90s when I first played this, I didn't know about changing weapons without the HUD, so as soon as I picked up the crowbar, I was doomed.
In spite of that, what we have here is a fairly decent gruntfest through a fairly nonsensical environment. Starting in a prison cell, very cliche in this day and age, you fight through a wareh...
Lounge is, as the name implies, set in a series of corridors that could be considered a lounge. Most of the map consists of a winding series of narrow hallways with the occasional zombie, headcrab and houndeye dotted throughout. At around the midpoint there is something that does look like a lounge, making use of Worldcraft's included prefabs, stretched though they may be. After that are a couple of rooms divided by a destroyed wall and the map ends in a room with a crazy laser beam lightshow. I...
A Brendon Chung classic, who created one of the most interesting Half-Life mods ever.

Idk about you but the version that you played seems to be bugged.

This mod really broke me.
It's one of the weirdest, hardest and longest Half-Life mods I've ever played, even surpassing some Half-Life 2 mods in terms of length.
This is a sequel of Assault on Roswell and it had 4 years of development cycle. The result was?
Well, it's better for for the worse.
First off, the mod offers limited saves. Basically, you need something called "save gems" in order to save the game. If you don't have one, you will lose health and if you have health lower than 20, y...
Assault on Roswell is the first ever work of Andy "migandi" Hulatt for Half-Life.
Considering he's a Quake mapper, it reflected to the map work with weird geometry and brushwork.
It also has a rather confusing story, I don't even know what's going on.
Maybe you should play this once and never touch it again.
Also, migandi later released a sequel for this mod, Riot in Progress, and the leap of quality compared to this mod is insane, if you don't mind its flaws....
A very very good campaign that took a long time to play for me cuz I used the weakest Shotgun in Black Op 6 that took for ever to kill the combine lolXD
Still very nice job

Virtual Reality: The Real World has managed to pass under my radar all these years. I certainly never played it when it was released, which means it was never featured on any PCGamer CDs back then. This is how I would access most mods and map packs, before we had internet access on all the PCs in the house. I think the primary reason for that is that the whole thing is fairly average.
Now, I'm not saying the mod is bad. On the contrary there are some wonderful ideas in here and every map has ...
Map appears to have vanished from all corners of the internet. Adding this review for the sake of completion on RTSL. :)
Will add a legitimate review should this ever resurface, but we're approaching 20 years now......
While it's definitely a little shorter and benefits a little from custom textures and skyboxes, Conundrum 2 fails to impress much in the same was as the original. Far too often it was necessary to take fall damage, meaning had my health been any lower at certain points within the map pack, I would have been softlocked or forced to cheat.
That being said, I actually WAS forced to cheat when the mod expected me to face off against a gargantua in a tiny space with satchel charges... oh, and 15 h...
Conundrum is certainly the word. I had a feeling I would not like this mod right from the start. It commits every single one of my level design sins. Several times throughout this mod, your means of progression is via a locked door you passed a few minutes ago. However, you might unlock this door by pressing a button on the opposite end of the map, or in some cases, simply walking through a trigger elsewhere in the map. The player guidance is worthless and if you feel you've hit a dead end, you ...

RudyK, you certainly deserved the comments! I have played every map and mod with overall ratings PIN and PIL, in HL2, HL2 Ep 1 and Ep 2, most of them multiple times over the decades, and am mid way through well rated HL maps again. I don't rate that many as Personal Favorites, but yours is.

Twisted Hazard Course plays very like a much more proof of concept to Hazardous Course. The map leans towards dark comedy in both the training given and the environments in which it takes place. It is clear that Black Mesa has seen some considerable budget cuts since Freeman ran the original hazard course.
So, how is it overall? Not terrible. It's definitely more of a joke map than one to be taken seriously. There are no real combat encounters as such besides massacring scientists akin to an ...
Try, Try Again is an older map pack that I actually wasn't familiar with to the best of my recollection. If I HAD played this one before then it did not leave a lasting impression and honestly, that could have been the case. This map pack is, to put it simply, "fine." It's OK.
Once again, the story is confined to the readme but apparently this mod takes place in some alternate timeline where Freeman simply went job hunting after the Black Mesa incident. What we have here is some unnamed and c...
Also, forget to mention this mod is annoyingly loud, full of hideous alarms from last to the end, so be warned and play it in like a 10 or maybe a 5 percent of volume as it is very "ear r4pe" experience....
To me this is a perfect Maybe? recommendation. This mod has many good and bad points. But in my view, the bads outweigh the good ones.
First of all, the whole textures of the mod are quite the same, which I understand as it is supposed to be a "super-computer" machine environment, but overall the lighting of the whole mod was poor as it has like a 90 percent of dark spaces, which is difficult to navigate. Which takes me to the next point. Overall, the mod feels like it was done around 1999 o...
Tucked Up is one I remembered fondly, though playing it through today I think it was just the audio that left an impression. This mod does not take itself too seriously, with a dozen or so new voice lines, pitch shifted for comedic effect. The story told via these new lines regards a murder for which Gordon Freeman has been accused. Otherwise, there's no real story here. You simply fight your way through three maps, primarily against HECU and assassins with the occasional Xen alien.
The maps ...
I'm sorry to say that this one is simply broken. From reading the comments here, this is supposedly a patch to be applied to a previously uploaded beta version of the mod, but I cannot find such a thing. It appears that the coding changes here have rendered the mod unplayable as the new HUD sprites have a black background which blocks your entire view, giving the impression that the map is pitch black. Removing the custom .dll files resolves the HUD issue so you can see, but means that the custo...

Half-Life: Shadows Part 1 is yet another step on a looong walk down memory lane. This map pack came up in conversation recently, and I had to give it another look for old times sake. One of the first map packs I ever played for Half-Life and it has lived in my brain, rent free, for two primary reasons.
First, the story. While not conveyed in any way within the maps themselves, it exists purely as a section in the readme file which was fairly common back in the day. The fact that Gordon is hun...

It was the longest mod I played. For my video, I played it in gmod that I have to wait every 2 minutes when I auto load the next map. Behind it, i spent 6 full hours (including breaks and auto loading)
So I wouldn't count I spent 6 hours, as a recording, I spent more than 3 hours playtime.
I really like this map, very long and awesome

Tense, riveting combat. Forces you to think under pressure and know when to hold your ground or press your advantage. Pushy, but rewarding as all get out.
Atmospheric. Lighting like headlights passing through grating on a long car ride home. Really nails that nostalgic Nova Prospekt vibe. Very Half-Life.
