Half-Life fans, get ready for a treat. Modder ‘Zoonyarts’ has been working on a gory mod for the first Half Life that will be released soon as most of the work has been finished. As its title suggests, Brutal Half-Life is a mod inspired by Brutal Doom, and you can view a trailer from it below. Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

brutal strife is a thing too.
Oh man, this can’t become a thing fast enough. I want this for every shooter.
you gonna buy “Hatred”
When it comes out, sounds like it is right up your alley
I think it will be a good game for stress release!!!
Oh yeah, but what I like most about what I’ve seen from that game is some impressive use of physics. They had very nice destructible environments in their trailer, which I really hope they will be able to carry over into the final version of the game.
Other than that I prefer first person shooters and against targets that shoot back. But I for sure will check it out just for the controversy alone. I just hope it’s more than a slaughter simulator and actually comes with challenging gameplay.
The more Brütal mods the better. Let the blood run red!
Guess it was only a matter of time.
At one point Half Life was going to be gorier than it turned out. I can remember an interview before the game released where they said the magnum would blow off the top of people’s heads leaving only their jaw and tongue. They toned it down for some reason.
too bad, wouldda been cool.
Reminds me an interview with how Assassin’s Creed was meant to be where one hit would kill you and it was meant to be ‘realistic’ in how damage is taken. Now we can be hit 5000 times and blasts in explosives and it’s all thanks to Leather pauldrons even if we makes 15 mistakes.
You should read about Mr. Friendly. You will be surprised (or creeped out, I hope 🙂 ).
so what is brutal about this?
just the stupid exaggerated blood.
pathetic! i hate it when people focus so much blood.
sadism!
I don’t think it’s pathetic, maybe a little too juvenile (like other games where they add skimpy suits to the girls or scars to the male characters).
I don’t like these gore mods either. I think Brutal Doom kills the same amount of neurons as the Doom comic did.
Aint this Opposing Force? Or did they just mod that weapon to HL 1 ;p I want this mod for the expansions too. 🙂
Definitely trying this, I absolutely loved playing through Brutal Doom.
Funny thing is, one big thing that set Half Life apart in 1998 was how brutal it was. The first game I know of where you could explode enemies into chunks of meat that left blood stains on the wall. Not sure it needs a “brutal” mod.
all games should have this
Where are they releasing a Brutal Blood or a Brutal Soldier of Fortune mod? Oh wait, those games don’t need it hehe
