    The modscene is a real plus for pc gamers, it can give a game extra lifespan. 

    So enlight us: what mods are coming out soon/ not so soon that you are waiting for.


    My favorite is Firearms: Source

    As the name hints: its a HL2 mod, but one with a firm history. Firearms was a rather popular mod for HL.

    You can compare it with CS, kinda. two teams shoot each other (end of comparison). Each map has different objectives (destroy crates in the base of the enemy, capture points). What made it stand out, imo, was the size/ quality of some maps (sd_durandal anybody), the fastpacedness (?) and the fact that you respawned instantly (with a 'pool' of lives like attackers have in rush mode in Bad Company 2). Loads of guns (some weird ones like the bizon). Aah memories. But its coming out in july (so in a couple of days) after 4 (im not sure) long years.


    Have a look for yourself: www.firearms-source.com

    Not technically a mod, they made their own engine I believe.. but a sequel of a mod, and I agree.

    I played the hell out of some FA back in the day, I hope whatever comes out of the crazy IP fight is good.
     
    I'm still waiting on Black Mesa Source so I can start my own endurance run of all of Half Life.  
    I think I planned on doing it about 2 years ago after it had been announced, and I hoped it would come out before Episode 3, and here I am still waiting on both of them. : P 
     
    But now that I think about it I've got nothing as far as other upcoming stuff, and HL1 mods were the majority of what I played back in the day. TF2 kinda acts like a mod for me because it's constantly changing and updating which is what I really loved about playing mods. Kind of upsetting now that I think about it.

    that is true about TF2, never thought about it like that. Great game but after 500+ hours, im getting a bit bored with it.


    If you liked Deus Ex, you need to check out the nameless mod (whats in a name eh) -> www.thenamelessmod.com

    Lots of dialog (not all great but what an achievement for a mod), deus ex like gameplay (stealth, action, dialog). Dudes worked on it for 7years...

    yeah, i can see where you are coming from. Installing mods for eg oblivion can be a real pain. But HL2 mods? easy dude. Most come with an installer, so you dont need to do anything. If its a zip or rar, just unpack it in the sourcemod folder in youre steam folder. I can help you if you have problems, add me on steam (search for AciD|MisT). Not that im THE pro know it all, but i think mods can be great. Go to moddb.com and have a look, im sure you will find one that interests you. Online ones (like firearms) have great communities that help you to get to know the game, how to play (lots of a-holes, but you can find them anywhere ;)
