Incline Half Life and Half Life 2 - List of recommended modifications and mini campaigns

[Ivan]

Playing Field Intensity and it feels like a worthy add on, reminding me of Opposing Force. Playing on Hard and getting my ass handed to me often enough. Good to be back in the world of Half-Life 1 though. I've missed these sounds.

Something about that doesn't look right to me for some reason, even though the game theoretically would be one of the greatest beneficiaries of ray tracing.

No one mentioned this so far, so I will. Been playing it since it released two days ago. Most of the changes they made are good, although the game seems a bit easier than before, despite some encounters being reworked. I'm also not a big fan of the added particle effects, but thankfully, those are not that common. Overall, a good mod imo. I hope Opposing Force and Blue Shift get the same treatment.

Also, Uplink is included in this instead of the tutorial level.

Is the sound fixed yet? Last time I played HL I had to stop because of the annoying crackling. I looked it up and apparently Valve have fucked it up with some update.

 

[ferratilis]

You mean in MMod or vanilla? Anyway, I've never had that problem in either.

What was my surprise to find that Half-Life MMOD had turned their backs to moddb, requiring you to log into Steam's client to be able to download it, with this latest release. I might sound like I'm nitpicking, but it seemed reasonable to expect to be able to launch this without the use of a client. You could play Half-Life 1 offline campaign without "cracking it", for example.

What a lame decision.

You might as well remove the entry from moddb and stop hosting the pre-historic files, as even the developer(s) realise the version available there is "Extremely Outdated".

HL Opposing Force Remastered screens leaked

fake or nay?

I've lost count how many mod teams out there try to create "Epistle III". We'll see if any of these makes it to the finishing line.

[Daedalos]

Isn't black MESA still the best new "mod" for half-life? And why doesnt that mod have the new ray tracing stuff in it.
who wants to play the original game with prettier lights lol. still looks dated.

Update on the long anticipated HL: The Core mod:
https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-core/news/2024-the-year-of-the-core-q1-update

Tl;DR

Development is back in full swing and it may, or may not, release this year.


Meanwhile, there's another promising mod you can check out now: Delta Particles

https://www.moddb.com/mods/half-life-delta

Delta Particles is a single-player modification for Half-Life.

The plot takes place at the universe of HL. You're playing as a technical engineer of complex "Delta Base" Nick Farell. Unfortunately, the protagonist was in the wrong place at the wrong time, as an experiment at the Black Mesa Research Facility resulted in a resonance cascade that teleported extraterrestrial beings from the world of Xen to Earth.

Features:

• A new single-player campaign consists of 4 chapters (31 gameplay maps + 1 titles)
• Total conversion, a lot of new content
• Atmosphere of the new scientific complex "Delta Base"
• New weapons
• New Dark Ambient soundtrack
• BlueShift-style XEN

It's an expansion-sized campaign. I started playing it and it's pretty good so far.

I've played through a decent portion of Delta Particles and unfortunately have to say I think it's mediocre. It has a lot of new art and it's clear a lot of effort was put into it, but it's just a remake of Half-Life that adds nothing. The set pieces are copies of the original (tentacle boss fight where you kill it using the environment, etc.) except less interesting. The level design is flat and uninspired. The encounters are similarly boring.

It's very nice looking but it has nothing on something like Half-Life: Echoes.

people lost hope that it ever gets any update

Old but good..?

Project Borealis now has a Steam page:

This looks interesting.

Heavily inspired by Alien movie and Alien: Isolation, it uses AVP 2 assets as well. Really good when it comes to aesthetics, and building up the tension. Episode 1 feels like a demo to me, it took me 30-40 minutes to wrap everything up. I hope the creators will deliver more.

Prologue coming Monday.
