I was playing a mod this morning and found ammo before I got any weapons.
My first thought was to go back and look again, which is exactly what I did.
I spent, or wasted!, 5 minutes retracing my steps.
I’m not sure what got me thinking about this but I know that a lot of players are really interested in different types of weapons. I’m not. I’ll take whatever the mapper gives me and use that.
I wonder if players would like more “load-out” style rooms before certain sections of mods. I understand that it gives mods some replay value by adding more variables but just feels too artificial for me.

In the HunterVille mapping competition, one of the “Honourable Mentions” starts without a weapon. Unfortunately I didn´t find the crowbar the author placed near the beginning, so I had to struggle through until I found another one (It was right next to me, so it was completely my fault!)
At the beginning I was incredibly frustrated, but that frustration turned to motivation quite quickly. I knew I must have missed something but I wanted to see if I could still finish the map.

I often see complaints that new mods don’t include new content, such as textures, modles, sounds etc. Personally I’m not too worried about those things because I prefer to have a great map and gameplay than new things just for the sack of it.
So, this week’s poll question is:
Would you prefer new enemies or new weapons in a new Half-Life 2 SP mod?

PTSD guy returns in this all new epic adventure, full with completely new levels, secrets, weapons and returning characters such as Clockface, BlueASIS and possibly more. PTSD guy’s mental state is rapidly declining after the events of PTSD 1, you must travel on a big journey to find out what is causing this, and put an end to it.

Starting in a vent shaft, you need to keep moving forward.
Zombies, headcrabs and other enemies stand in your way.
Weapons and ammo is limited, so don’t waste any.
GOOD LUCK!

You play as Gordon, who has been sent to seek and destroy an alien/human spacecraft.
You will need to negotiate a variety of enemy and tactical obstacles.
Careful use of your weapons and ammo is advised.
Good Luck!

The Renegadist is looking for a mod. Can you help?
“So plain and simple I’m looking for an old Half-Life 2 mod, if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it since I usually never post on the forums.
Basically this was an old mod I played over five years ago that I have not been able to track down since which leads me to believe it was removed. I don’t remember much about it because it’s been 5 years since I’ve played it or longer but from what I do remember I’ll write down here.
From what I remember the main plot of the mod was that both the Combine and the Human rebels had formed a piece treaty and now both factions were against the player (Both Combine and Rebels shooting at you.). There were parts of the level that I remember playing, one of which took place in a mine shaft filled with zombies and rainbow colored water (This I distinctly remember), there was a farm or something with hay bales, and finally a chapter devoted to driving on a road in the middle of a forest in the HL2 Ep2 Jalopy. I believe the main crowbar was replaced with an Axe and if I remember correctly a few other weapons were different from the default Half-Life 2 weapons. There was a part on the forest chapter where you walk into a concrete building to press a button that did something, maybe to launch a rocket but I’m not sure. I don’t remember the name of the mod however I do believe a radiation warning logo was in it, or at least on the menu screen which showed sections of the forest road chapter.
I know you are going off of bits and pieces however the fact that the plot is so different might help with finding it, in the case that the mod was removed or deleted if anyone has the mod I’d love a download link for it. Other then that I can’t really say much more since I only remember bits and pieces of it, if anyone has any questions or anything concerning the mod please feel free to ask away. The Moddb community is huge and the amount of Half-Life 2 modders and fans of mods is huge, hopefully one person out there knows what I’m talking about.
Thanks and here’s to hoping someone knows what mod this is!”
