After I had finished playing Half-Life, I couldn’t wait to play more. Fortunately I didn’t play HL until nearly 4 years after it was released, by which time Opposing Force and Blue Shift had been released. Valve seem to have decided not to outsource any HL2 games but if they did ….

Having a mod delivered directly to your game folder and being able to simply start the game and play it is obviously a great selling point. Steam has done it for games and CrosuS is trying to do something similar with mods. Here’s this week’s question:

It’s hard for designers not to repeats certain gameplay scenes in single player games. In fact it’s desirable to repeat some types of scenes. Imagine action movies without a car chase (More on that another time)! However, there is a big difference in repeating scenes because they are needed and repeating scenes because designers can’t think of anything else to add.

What gameplay scene has been over used the most in SP maps and mods?

Unreal Tournament featured a great gametype called Instagib. Put simply it was one shot, one kill! Assuming you hit the enemy that is! I loved playing that, partly because I always played on the easier difficulty settings. I was thinking how it could be adapted for SP games.

Would you like to see a one shot, one kill gametype in SP games?
