Lately I've been trying out mods for older games and stuff but to be honestly I've been quite disapointed by the mod support for Half Life, maybe I've been looking in the wrong places but it seems like 90% of the mods for HL2 are class based multiplayer shooters that 2bh I could care less about (I already own TF2 thanks). I was just wondering if you guys knew of any decent mods that I can actually download and play right now.
Source Engine
Concept »
Valve Corporation's proprietary game engine that debuted in summer 2004 with Counter-Strike: Source and later that same year with Half-Life 2. It may be worth noting that the first Source game released a full 2 weeks ahead of Counter-Strike, and that was Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines
Decent Half Life 2 Mods?
Don't forget GoldenEye: Source!!!
That video doesn't do it justice, at least the beginning I watched. The feel is spot on, and having no crosshair is compensated by the tracers, it really doesn't take too long to get used to. It's great fun. I just hate knowing that half the players online probably stick a dot in the center of their monitor to compensate... I even saw people recommend that to others in Neotokyo so they can shoot without using the right click... Gawd :S
Smashball is fun and hectic.
Install it through Steam here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/17730/
I am a programmer for a mod currently in development called Deadlock:

We haven't released a version to the public yet, but if anyone is interested follow us on twitter, check out our moddb page and say hi on the forums!
"Curse looks like it could be pretty cool. Gives me a lot of flashbacks to Serious Sam, think I'll download that right now. Thanks man, exactly what I was looking for "I'm sure you'll enjoy it, but it's nothing like Serious Sam. It's not about the combat, that's its weakest aspect, as I wrote in that thread. It's still awesome overall though. After you play it a while, maybe finish it once, run the little benchmark/demo it has in the main options screen. It shows how to clear the first level 100%, then you can attempt to do all the levels like that yourself. I went back to clear them all myself, it was good fun. But don't run that before playing, it will ruin some of the atmosphere... It's such a distinct, beautiful mod though.
Minerva's 3 (if I remember right) episodes are also worth playing, the developer works for Valve now. You probably knew of the mod already.
I'm just waiting for Black Mesa for more single player goodness...
Have you played Natural Selection? You haven't? Oh, that's alright, it's only the best team-based FPS ever created. However, the sequel for HL2 has been in the works for over five years now, and it's approaching its release.
IGN has the previews.
Research and development.
One of the best gameplay experiences ever created.
