Modder ‘TeamClown’ has released a really cool mod for Half Life that lets you save all of the game’s scientists and security guards. This mod will let you experience this classic FPS in a completely different way. As such, I highly recommend trying it.
A couple of days ago, the modder shared the first public version of it. Version 1.0 will let you contains everything from Unforeseen Consequences up to Apprehension, which is literally almost half the game. Throughout it, you will be able to rescue up to 45 NPCs.
So, consider this a demo as it does not cover the entire game. Still, this is one of the coolest mods I’ve seen for the first Half-Life game. After all, it makes major changes to the gameplay and pacing.
Another cool feature is that the Security Guards can now help you. So, the more you rescue, the easier the game will become. Not only that, but Barneys will be able to pick up more weapons, such as the shotgun, MP5, and hand grenades, while scientists can now pick up Glocks.
You can go ahead and download the mod from this link. To play it, you will need Half-Life: Source.
Speaking of the first Half-Life game, there are some other cool mods that you can download for it. For instance, you can download Brutal Half-Life. Then we have a mod that adds Full Ray Tracing/Path Tracing to it. This is a must for everyone who wants to re-experience the main game, so be sure to download it.
Now, if you don’t want Path Tracing, you can use this AI-enhanced HD Texture Pack. This pack will overhaul all of the game’s textures. However, its lighting won’t change in any way. Thus, you’ll get an experience closer to the vanilla game.
Halo: GoldSource is a fan-made game that brings Halo’s gameplay into the Half-Life engine. It has two main modes: Slayer and Firefight. You’ll find lots of classic Halo maps and some new ones made just for Firefight. Plus, you can use many cool Halo weapons.
Finally, we have Half-Life: Delta. Half-Life: Delta is a Total Conversion Mod, featuring 4 chapters and 31 gameplay maps. Oh, and there is a new Aliens-based TC Mod, called Solitary Echoes.
Have fun!
