I find it surprising that a professional dev team still hasn't matched the feeling of being in a John woo movie quite like the specialists did, it's been like 13 years since that mod came out For real being 14 in the age of hl1 mods pretty much meant you had infinite entertainment for an initial investment of 40 bucks

Boxwar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRPKa7gv0M8 You are a box. Everyone is a box. There are also lots of non-people boxes on the level. You can camouflage yourself among the boxes and strike when the time is right, or go all out in a box apocalypse.

Sven Co-op and Scientist Slaughterhouse are fun non-serious mods Natural Selection, Firearms, The Specialists, and Brain Bread are all good multiplayer ones Half-Life 2: Jaykin' Bacon: Source is funny and good USS Darkstar, They Hunger, Half-Life: Visitors, Heart of Evil and countless other singleplayer mods are still fun to run through. TFC, DOD, and CS are fun Afraid of Monsters is dumb loving garbage for pussy retards

Even like a really bad mod that had two active servers could keep you entertained for at least a week, I've spent 60 bucks as an adult on games that have held my attention for less time than that french counterstrike knockoff that was miserably optimized for net play or the firearms knock off that I'll never remember the name of

Mr. Pumroy posted:this is my choice, s+i was super interesting and once they revamped it with original models it really had a very neat personality. it's something that i could def see in the tf2 style now but unfortunately that never happened there was a ton of stuff i thought would be cool when it got remade but never happened. it's kind of surprising how lovely the source mod scene ended up being compared to goldsrc. i remember there being a lot of hype and interest initially but i guess that faded quick.

Predator minigun for the M249  I did a ton of model conversions from CS plus reanimations into The Specialists back in the day. It was a really neat time where content creation that was like, 90% as good as what the professionals were doing was possible by a bunch of bored 15 year olds on summer vacation with a pirated copy of Milkshape 3d

S&I was great until the version that made it really easy to launch yourself with the charger-up laser gun thing and then winning the game was just how well you could catapult yourself down the map as fast as possible while carrying a scientist
