HL2 Prison WIP

for Half-Life 2

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

Here is a Work In Progress that I have decided to post (I normally only post finished maps and mods) because it’s unlikely that this will be finished in the near future.

It features a simple prison setting, followed by a street setting. Expect some missing sections, but it still play okay.

This is an unfinished map that was released because it will never be finished. This was originally released as a HL2 map and had missing textures. The file has been updated and changed to Ep2. It plays okay, so I thought you might want to try it.

Poll Question 220 – Would you play more maps if you didn’t have to use the Source console?

Would you play more maps if you didn't have to use the Source console?

I know a lot of people don’t play the maps that I post on the site and there are many reasons for that. Some don’t like the fact that they are generally short. Some don’t like that fact that they generally don’t include new content and others, well, let’s just say they can’t face the trouble that installing maps can cause.

As you may have seen, I have just announced a new application that will remove that particular aspect of map playing, so this seemed like a good question to ask, although some may say I should have asked it before!

Over to you….

Audio Interview with Patrick Murphy

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

I was lucky enough to have a chat with Patrick Murphy, the maker of Precursor, a highly-rated new single player mod for Episode Two. It’s one of my longer interviews and we talk about a number of things but really focus on the mod itself and various aspect of it.

Patrick has agreed to stop by and respond to any comments, so feel free to ask him your own questions.

Precursor

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Re-enter the Half Life Universe and revisit City 17 in the time before Freeman, in this fan made single-player mod.

The Resistance is threatened by a decisive Combine assault, and as a wanted Resistance member you will need to fight to escape from the Combine’s clutch.

At the same time, a mysterious force is working towards ends unknown…
