    Mods. One of the few things that is a mainly a p.c only asset. Give old games new life with graphical updates, experience the vision of an
    amateur developer for free. Play online in a game that is truly something different and worthwhile, for FREE!.  We all know about mods here, so lets get to it.

    What mods you do use/have used.

    Currently I'm enjoying

    Half Life 2 Cinematic Mod Version 4 (last one supported by 32 bit windows. Massive texture update/sound, makes for a whole new half life 2 and ep 1 experience)
    Far Cry Addon Mod (changes/improves many things/ including graphics)
    Far Cry the Delta project  (hard yet visually outstanding conversion of far cry)
    Stalker Weather Overhaul with motion blur and other graphical enhancements  (very awesome)
    Oarl's Texture pack for Oblivion, Atmospheric Oblivion, Natural Environments and Weather + others for oblivion
    Brain Bread. (total, utter and mindless fun for half life 1 co-op/ multiplayer against endless hoards of zombies)
    Get a life (sweet/for half life 2 ep 2)

    You?

    I haven't played many mods for single player games, but:

    + Team Fortress 2: A whole bunch of mods, such as an engineer one that allows you to pick up and move sentries. A scout one that sets a beacon on spies. A spy one that allows you to sabotage sentries (convert them to your team). A medic one that allows you to spread infections. A pyro one that allows you to plant hamburger mines. Also, a melee only mod.

    + Wolfenstein Enemy Territory: ETpub, True Combat Elite, Et Pro, Jaymod, No Quarter

    + Halo Combat Evolved: Generally the mods come via custom maps, but cliff mod (total reconfiguration with a bunch of teleporters and sky bases), a pelican mod.

    The only few mods I've ever used are a few for Half Life 2 and a few for Counter Strike: Source, nothing more.

    Wow, so few responses.

    I mean come on, Counter Strike one started out as a mod. The new left 4 dead started out as a mod, hell all of those cool/funny half life 2/source videos, movies and whatnot where created with Gary's mod!.

    Well, it's a pretty broad question. What mods have you used throughout any game on the PC? It would be a lot better suited for a specific game. As I'm not currently playing anything, it's hard to answer. I just know I most enjoyed modding Morrowind with a multitude of things, and GTA SA with.. what was it.. SAMP? There were two online multiplayer mods for that. I don't remember which I played.

    Oh jeez. I have about 20 in Oblivion... Lets see. Off the top of my head: Open Cities, Darker Dungeons, Real Lights, Natural Weather, Better Imperfect Water, Qarl's Texture Pack 3, Qarl's Normal Maps, and lock bash. I also have the Cinematic Mod for Half-Life 2 but I don't use it anymore because I don't like what it does to the character models. Do custom config files in Crysis count?

    Oh yeah, same here! I had a lot of mods for Oblivion, like ehmm; graphics enhancements, graphical user interface enhancements, lots of extra sidemissions, new armors, new textures and even a lot more. Plus all the expansions/add-ons ofcourse.

    A few Oblivion mods but I mainly do tweaks to lighting and whatnot.  tweaked Bloom to look like HDR so I could have Anti-aliasing on(looks much better and runs smoother, though I've noticed a few things look funky and a few effects are disabled).

    left for dead was started when the developers of the game where playing counter strike 2 human players versus a full team of bots with knifes they thought it was really fun and updated and made it a zombie game

    I don't really use mods until the specific game is old and could use a graphics boost.

    Played through Diablo 2 for the first time and used the high-resolution mod. It doesn't work with multi but it makes the game look pretty sweet.

     There arent nearly as much mods today as there were back in, say 1998. Each and every game released having at least 5 modding community sites with huge userbases and hundreds of  custom made tools ranging from save editors, texture converters, even full 3d modelers like say ZModeler which was originally a NFS editing tool. The Need For Speed community was the best in that aspect. Now if if the game has any DLC planned modding will be made as difficult as possible. Also, the kids now don't seem as much interested or capable to code up anything useful. :(  I'm old and rambling.
     
    My current mods consist mainly of  fixing up controls in fking console ports. Also, Quake1 Tenebrae and Darkplaces, Quake2 Berserker, System Shock 2 Rebirth.
