Trauma

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

You wake up to silence, in a room with a bed and some shelves.

Who knows why or where. What matters is that you keep moving forward.

Eventually, you will find a weapon, which you may have to use.

Good Luck!

Unknown Faction

for Half-Life

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

A rather generic: “You are sent in to some base to do some thing”.

It’s not exactly Black Mesa but it looks like it.

Take your time and look everywhere.

Return

for Half-Life

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

As the name suggests, you go back to Black Mesa. It’s a sparse area with some Grunts and Vortigaunts.

There’s only 1 headcrab to be found in the whole mod, which is a good thing.

Gargs can be found in various places throughout the mod, no need to look too hard, it’s not as if you could miss them, is it?

Little Escape

for Opposing Force

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

Starting with the same basic scene as Opposing Force, you need to escape the base.

There’s a few areas you need to access before you can reach the portal.

Be careful, even your friends may be enemies.

Maze Of Death

for Half-Life 2

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

A seemingly simple map, that has brick walls, set in a maze design. Includes, Combine soldiers, zombies, fast zombies and a rather unhelpful Alyx.

This was originally released in December 2004 and I have updated the post to include new screenshots and working download servers.

It will revert back to its original publish date of December 2005, in one month.

Dachka

for Half-Life 2

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

A first map that offers a very simple premise. I’m not sure what that is but it’s fun. There’s no story and I didn’t reach the end, so I can’t tell you what happens.
