Ghosts of White Forest

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

“Players gain a new ability to toggle between two worlds in order to activate a missile launch vital to the resistance effort. The world of the living is warm, dusty, partially destroyed, and crawling with headcrabs. The ghost world represents the past. Structures destroyed in the living world appear intact in the ghost world. It is also bitter cold in the ghost world. Gordon only hears the sound of his breath, and the cries of the ghosts that reside there.”

Trojans, Achaeans And The Gods

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

The gods are back and they are looking for a fight.

Abstract
A multiplayer mod concept, with loose historical references and a novel way of managing respawning

Over 3000 years ago Zeus and the other Gods caused the death of thousands of warriors in a siege of Troy.

The year is 2879 and New Troy is once again the site of pure carnage.

Poll Question 171 – How much would Freeman give to charity?

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

As with all my “What would Freeman…”, the question relates to BEFORE the Black Mesa incident.

Let’s see if we can get a sort of consensus of his character.

This question relates to what would happen if Freeman had won the lottery. And when I say “won” I mean a BIG win, at least 20 million Dollars.

Cenote Angelita – Real Theme

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Up until now all the real themes posts have been about man-made things; tunnels dams etc. This one is both natural and beautiful. It’s an underground “river” in Mexico. I say “river” because it’s different layers of fresh and salty water and hydrogen sulphide.

Substation

for Half-Life 2

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

Starting out in a cell, a tremor allows you to start your escape.

Find the correct route and avoid the Metrocops if you can (you can’t!).

The maps end at the bottom of the large stairwell in a room with a door that has hall of mirrors effects.

The “Art” Mods Debate

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

This has been discussed a few times in other mods but I felt it was time for a proper debate in its own post. I have copied a lot of the discussion from another post because it was what started my thinking about the idea.

To summarize, Robert Yang wanted to know why I didn’t add non-combat mod
