HL mods were all just (poor) recreations of existing Quake I/II mods and I will fight you OP.

Anyone remember which mod had the single player mode that basically recreates HL1, but you play as Barney and you get to recruit gordon as a follower in one of the levels? I know it's not blueshift because they gave gordon a weird voice so it's obviously fan made.

Probably got mentioned already but I'm curious which one it is.

I'm actually playing through that right now. The smooth hover flight animation of the marine troops is really off putting, but it's pretty solid mod.

you didn't miss much, as I recall the next update after that was a complete overhaul to add more ~realism~ instead of being a simulation of bunny hopping full speed around the map with an AUG and scoring headshots from a mile away and it kind of sucked after that

FLF ruled until they introduced suppressive fire and the player base evaporated

TFC would've been a lot better if people played cool maps like The Hunted and Rock instead of 24/7 2fort

Rule of hl1 mods: everyone wants to play the worst map all the time and will vote for it everytime even if there are 50 available 24/7 servers for that map

The Specialists came with a billion great maps and people just wanted to play in an ugly green box all the time

Science & Industry was extremely good but it died out really quickly.

The wizards mod was terrible fun and had horrible everything, especially the Geomancers

Sven Co-Op was amazing and full of griefers, plus it had a bunch of weird psychadelic horror zone/map places

The Specialists was great

FLF was great until suppressing fire

Ricochet was cool for approx. 2 matches, but it became a sanctioned mod and was lame anyway

Natural Selection, great

Box Wars was incredibly fun at LAN parties

Whatever that one Snark mod was with shitloads of Snark themed weapons, homing snarks, snark rifles, everything

The ability to choose whatever character I wanted just like Quake, and useful color sliders. I always played the most obnoxiously bright yellow/green or bright pink/purple barney and name FLUORESCENT EXTRAVAGANZA which would make people mad since it scrolled their names off the killfeed

I always forget DoD/TFC/CS were all mods, but all ruled. I have fond memories of Beta 4.0 in CS when the P90 was introduced along with that one incredibly unbalanced map where the CTs had to wait for a gigantic, extremely slow garage door to open up before they could leave their little spawn office, and Ts would just camp outside. DoD when they introduced Brits. Putting a small piece of tape in the middle of my screen for both Kar98k snipes in DoD and AWPing in CS.

I miss Natural Selection, that game was awesome. The sequel is alright, but suffers from me not having a minimum of 3 hours to spend on a single round.

:agreed:

NS was the game I've probably put the most obscene amount of time in (and being a teen, that was a lot of time). It was the only time I ever played esports too, in cal which was interesting but I learned never to do it again and it gave me terminal aids

shame NS2 kind of sucked and bombed but it wasn't unexpected considering how loving retarded Flayra was and awful decisions they did during development. I actually was more surprised how much of a flaming trainwreck it didn't end up being and instead was just a boring mediocre trainwreck

I loving loved Science and Industry

Also a big fan of The Opera, even if it never *quite* lived up to its potential it was rad as heck to do wall flips and headshot people with your pistols while diving through the air

PVK was also good fun, though I think Chivalry is closer to a spiritual sequel than either of the two mods listed above

CS was great, but peaked for me well before 1.0- I missed the hilarious shoddiness of the early betas (gunkicking! nightvision that was just a green filter that made it harder to see in the dark!) and the maps ripped directly from Goldeneye

I also loved playing as the super OP Allied Infantry in early DOD- run at a million miles an hour, gently caress bitches with the Garand, spam your historically accurate grenade loadout (i.e. way too many) all over the place

EDIT: The ones that came outta nowhere were Natural Selection and Poke 646. Nobody thought they could still make high quality mods before those came out.

I played it alot less than the ones above, but I had fun playing it. It was weird seeing the minutemen and british army zigzagging slightly though, for all the mod tried to portray.

Deathmatch Classic I think? man I forgot about half of these mods, it's kind of crazy to realize that 40 bucks my parents dropped for me on xmas 2001 gave me like 4+ years of entertainment. even really bad mods that were forgotten right after release were pretty fun to gently caress around in for a day, like the endless mediocre counter-strike knock offs.
