What HL2/Source mods do you play?

[dontleave]

Im really really bored, I'd like to know if there are any decent mods to play for HL2/Source. Way back when HL2 came out I thought, this is going to have sooo many mods, just like HL1, I guess I was late on the scene with HL1, it takes a long arse time for mods to come out. The only good TC mod is Dystopia, ES is okay, but they need some bug fixing, and the the design for infantry kinda sucks, as well as the balance.

ZM and CSS ZM aren't very good, ZM lags waaay too much, and well CSSZM is self explanatory, that mod is just plain stupid, its like playing TFC except every one is as fast as a scout and takes and gives damage like a heavy.

Im anticipating the complete version of ES, Dystopia v2, and Black Mesa Source... but are there any other good mods out now, preferably total conversion mods, im tired of the same effects and sounds and textures from HL2...

So, any recommendations?

I tried Zombie Master a couple days ago and before it crashed (my video cards fault) it seemed okay..

[A DUCK]

well 2 source mods i like to play sometimes are Hidden:source and PVK 2

[dontleave]

Oh yeah, I have PVKII also, its okay, great graphics but it gets boring. Only one class for each sides... hidden source was crap when I first tried it, one guy invisible with a knife stabbing everyone else... did they change thaT?

[Teknobry]

CS:S zombie is awesome, provided you go on the right server, as the game varies massively depending on what the server config is for the game.

The two best servers by far are:
Mint clans server - 81.19.219.145:27015
Team end's server - 81.171.101.105:27015

[dontleave]

Its just plane stupid in my opinion. The sheer mechanics of the game are just dumb its like the origins of the mod started out like this

"Hey, I wonder what kind of game we would end up with if we did everything Valve DIDNT do with CS:S"

[Teknobry]

Its stupid? Its one of the main reasons L4D exists!

What exactly is dumb? That a great zombie mod was created?

From simple idea's come GREAT games! Its like saying 'Counter strike is dumb, its like someone thought hey i wonder what kind of game we'd end up with if we do everything valve DIDN'T do with half life'

Zombie mod FTW :D

[dontleave]

They took CS:S, coded in a billion health that you couldn't fit into one ticker, didn't even bother joining the teams, no new models or anything, CT/T die in one hit, dumbass green view, no reloading, infinite ammo, ported models for HL2... the list goes on.

Is it even really a mod, is there a team behind it? I could have done this in my spare time between brunch.

THIS IS NOT A REASON L4D EXISTS. Someone probably figured out that putting bots with knives only was fun also, and who made the ai for the bots i wonder. The topic warrants saying i also tried the bots with knives, a couple weeks like i saw zm_ maps and was like wow... this is dumb.

Anyway im dling the hidden, and this decimation mod, saw in on PHL, i really have nothing else to do until my leg heals up... other than play with my neighbors dog that is.

[Pixelnator]

Garry's mod (altough Gmod 10$ costs muh-nay)
Dystopia

That's about it actually. I tried some weird ski-fi space simulator/fps mod but didn't like it.

Edit: Oh, dystopia was still V1 on my steam games list ^^"

[dontleave]

Thats Eternal Silence, I want Garrysmod, but Garrysmod 9 got abandoned when they released GMOD10, it looks so much better, im getting it once Episode 2 comes out. Im going on a steam blowout then.

[Pixelnator]

Yeah, eternal silence it was.

As for Gmod 10, it is really worth the money if you like that kind of games.

They even have an awesome zombie minimod created for it :D

[dontleave]

I loved Gmod 9, I have no doubt it would be on par with gmod 10 if valve hadn't wadsadasd'd it.

I might get it sooner than expected though, I miss making forts and stuff, and giant 50 ft robots that slay zombies. And making planes out of toilet seats and microwaves.

They took CS:S, coded in a billion health that you couldn't fit into one ticker, didn't even bother joining the teams, no new models or anything, CT/T die in one hit, dumbass green view, no reloading, infinite ammo, ported models for HL2... the list goes on.

See, thats because you've played the wrong servers.

The ones I use, you have limited ammo, you HAVE to reload, the zombies are quick moving, you simply press 'N' to remove the green nightvision view.

If you tried the right servers, am sure you'd really enjoy the mod.

You fail to realise that it's this very formula that contributes greatly to the fun that is Zombie Mod. If you want a more polished but similar experience, check out Zombie Panic: URL (http://www.zombiepanic.org/site/index.php)

[Tobold]

I played the original zombie panic, was pretty fun, looking forward to the source version.
Played Zombie Master a bit as well. Its not bad, but very repeatative.

[No Shelter]

Too bad Brainbread source is, "dead".

[dontleave]

I agree, that was the best zombie mod for HL1 IMO, I never got into ZP, mostly because when I did, people IN GAME told me the game sucked.

Is zombie panic out for source or wha?

[Quotidius]

Too bad Brainbread source is, "dead".

Good riddance, I say.

Suffice to say that I got tired of farming points and getting banned for 24 hours for simply killing the bloody (player) zombies that attacked me.
Besides, there was never any actual teamwork - just a bunch of misfits running around, gunning down "ferocious" zombies, assailing you at speeds one normally associates with lesser invertebrates, farming them for points.

[dontleave]

Yeah, fun. I doubt there was really much you could do with the original HL engine...

[Sandman77]

To bad Sven Coop aint out for Halflife2. :(

[dontleave]

I heard the Synergy mod was like Sven Coop, I haven't tried it though, im pretty sure I dled it once and it sucked.

[No Shelter]

I tried it, its pretty dumb. It takes more to kill enemies and it gets old fast.

[dontleave]

Btw. Neither of the IP adresses you posted are working for me. Damn L4D come out already..

[Agret]

http://www.dystopia-game.com/
FREAKING AWESOME! Best source mod out at the moment.

[Deadly]

I play hidden source gmod brainbread vampireslayer cs zombies (both kinds)

[ArsenaI]

I play Dystopia / Hidden everynow and then.

Used to play just a bot vs human zombie server, zombs had lots of health and would revive. Was real simple and good fun, cant find another server like it now days tho.

Its all that infected mode stuff, i dont find that fun at all tbh

[A DUCK]

gmod 9 is ok, but multiplayer on it doesnt work for me ;(

[Arkeneaver]

the multiplayer should work on Gmod... The zombie modes are quite good but if you want some real fun, pop along to the zombie House server IP:91.186.6.96:27015

[A DUCK]

1. i dont have gmod10, just gmod9

2. my game always freezes when trying to join a multiplayer game

[No Shelter]

^^ Happens for me even when trying single player Duck. And this is for all source games lol.

[A DUCK]

lol that blows

[dontleave]

I revive this topic to ask the question. Anyone play Perfect Dark Source?

[defth]

I haven't but I'm taking a look at it now..have you played it? if so..is it any good?

[soldier_of_war]

I played Perfect Dark Source. It's a good release, and it looks like the mod has a lot of promise, but it got old quickly. Only a few guns and maps. And it was kinda laggy. But I would recommend trying it out if you are into that mod.

[CondeMafias]

I've played Gmod10 (In a ''Friend'' Acount, he shares it with me and a couple more persons, too bad that an asshole changed his password..), I play Sourceforts (Before), The Hidden: Source (This one was fun, the other day we all got camping at the warehouse with 10-20 trip alarms, everything gone wrong anyway, and I'll play Gmod, when its available again, for me.


Edit: Did anyone played in Noxious (Gmod9) servers?, I enjoyed that Ships that transport aeroplanes (I can't remember how it's called..), It was based on Crates that shooted missiles (Guided) or droped explosive melons, there was also a closet that shooted sawblades on fire, like an A.A. gun, it was funny.

[squerl]

I tried Gmod a long time ago but don't know exactly what it's for/does.. I know it's a sandbox sort of thing but that's about it.

I played Perfect Dark Source.. I'm just wondering how they're using that IP without getting in trouble? I thought it was okay, the blur was a little much and the hand-to-hand combat was a little weird. The map I played on I'd give an 8/10.. forget which one but it had a variety of areas and a bridge. The aiming was a little weird, I did best when I just stayed in one little area and killed whoever came near me.

I played a couple of mods yesterday. I tried a Ravenholm mod and it took me a while and I got to this empty field area and looked around and I couldn't find anything.. something was either broke or I took a wrong turn (so I guess I didn't finish it)..

Also tried Rock 24 which was VERY well done, I recommend you all go download that. It's single player and has story elements and besides a few awkward gestures in some animations it was amazing. In some of the maps it took me a little longer than I would like to figure out what to do, as in not that the puzzle was too hard it just wasn't laid out intuitively. Still great.

I tried the Exite mod that copies Portal technology, played for a few minutes and it's pretty fun except it's full of bugs right now.

I downloaded the Penetration mod which I'll probably play tonight or this week sometime, it sounds like it's a long one.

[Tobold]

I'd give them all a try if it wasn't for uni work.

And i'm busy writing the part2 preview for left4dead411.
No wait.
Thats you.

[sir monster]

No wait.
Thats you.
lol

[dontleave]

Haha... Gmod is REALLY fun, I remember I made a robot out of ragdolls, cool stuff.

[A DUCK]

And i'm busy writing the part2 preview for left4dead411.
No wait.
Thats you.

ouch lol, people are going to start egging frog n squerl's houses and mugging them until part 2 comes out at this rate.

[dontleave]

I can't imagine anyone being mugged more than once...

[dontleave]

Insurgency mod coming out this month guys, anyone else excited?! This is like the second big TC mod for HL2, first being dystopia I think.

[Prometheus]

I've been waiting for insurgency for a LONG time, so long I forgot about it for a while. :D

I hope it's good.

[dontleave]

It's been in developement for three years, and word is its coming out on Friday possibly Monday. Can't wait to play.
