What are some good HL2 mods?

[Anonymous No.7146597]

People no longer make level mods for half-life 2.
But they do make level mods for episode 2

[Anonymous No.7146606]

Most of the really good HL2 mods are multiplayer sadly, so they're pretty much dead at this point.

I remember I played the shit out of Substance and some SMod variants when I was in high school.

[Anonymous No.7148142]

The one that lets you kickboat and also gives you the UMD launcher, don't remember the name of it though

[Anonymous No.7148164]

>>7146425
I'd personally recommend; Minerva Metastasis, Research and Development, Mission Improbable, Year long alarm, Transmissions: Element 120, Half-Life 2 : MMod
Portal Pro, Portal 2 Perpetual Testing Initiative Maps

Is Raising the Bar redux worth playing?

[Anonymous No.7148714]

>>7148164
From these, I've played Minerva Metastasis, which is super acclaimed but I didn't care for, Year Long Alarm, which feels very much like a chapter right out of Episode 2 and Transmissions: Element 120, which, despite its name, is really good, almost feels like a demo for Half-Life 2 from an alternate dimension where it was released later, with better graphics and more mechanics

None, this game is trash.

I want more mods where you ride/ drive trains.

[Anonymous No.7149371]

>>7146606
this.

GoldenEye Source, that one cyberpunk mod (I think it was Dystopia?), and Zombie Panic were some great shit indeed but I highly doubt they are still going.

for single player I really liked Minerva, Substance, and of course Black Mesa

[Anonymous No.7149514]

SMOD is pretty much my favorite one, play it on the standalone launcher from Bsnooch, best build is either Redux V8 or Redux Final
>>7149371
is the cyberpunk mod you're thinking of called Neotokyo?

[Anonymous No.7149567]

>>7149514
never played neotokyo. I was indeed referring to Dystopia. It was kind of like a Battlefield objective/class based game where there's hacking and turrets and shit. I remember it being really fun MP back in the day but I'm thinking it's dead now

GEDDY'S MOD

[Anonymous No.7149729]

>>7146425
entropy zero is a pretty good mod and of all the mods where you play as the combine it's probably the best one.

SMOD is another good one. it's basically a weapon mod for vanilla HL2 and weapons range from CSS & DOD weapons to some crazier ones like a PSP or explosive bananas.

lambda wars is a HL2 RTS. i haven't played it yet but it looks pretty interesting.

like >>7146606 said most of the big HL2 mods were multiplayer ones like dystopia or hidden but they're pretty much dead as dirt but you could always check out sites like runthinkshootlive for some singleplayer mods/maps.

>>7149567
neotokyo was basically counterstrike with a cyberpunk wrapper

>>7149371
>>7149612
does GMOD & black mesa count as mods when they're essentially standalone games at this point

[Anonymous No.7149742]

>>7149729
Are they standalone?
I haven't been keeping up with Hl2 or PC gaming generally in the past decade lol

[Anonymous No.7149749]

>>7149567
Neotokyo is one of those mods that you can only play at certain times on weekends, gameplay is kinda objective-like similar to CS but with much lower TTK. The main appeal however is the atmospheric level design and the soundtrack done by an actual composer

Anyone

[Anonymous No.7149771]

>>7149742
you can buy both off of steam as their own thing but i think GMOD still requires you to own the respective source games it's supports for assets (i.e. you need CSS to use CSS content, etc.) but i haven't touched GMOD since either middle school or freshmen year of high school.

>>7149749
it always urked me how neotokyo's artsyle and atmosphere was basically wasted on a counterstrike clone.

it feels like there aren't alot of cyberpunk FPSes

[Anonymous No.7149792]

>>7149371
GE:S still gets played but mostly Team Arsenal which is not what I play arena shooters for
If I idle in a server for some time people usually join and then I rekt them because most players are terrible

Wait the hate one? Have mods actually started to catch on to the obvious spammers?

I actually love RE4. I think you're butthurt that some faggot made an anti-RE4 thread. Unlike you, I ignore troll threads.

Hmm

[Anonymous No.7149957]

Trying to remember a single player source mod I played around a decade ago. You started off in a haunted mansion type setting with an axe as your first weapon, I vaguely remember late in the game you fight alongside a special ops team to gun down all the baddies. It was horror themed. That's about all I can remember, but I'd like to try it again.
