They Hunger
Picture 8 of 20
This horrifying single-player mod hit the scene back in 1999, created by Neil Manke and Black Widow Games as a modification of Valve's popular first-person shooter, Half-Life. In what would be echoed a decade later in Left 4 Dead and its sequel, They Hunger merged the zombie-survival-horror genre with the first-person perspective, creating an intense environment that outdid anything found in the Resident Evil series.
As the story went, the protagonist--a troubled, unnamed writer--finds himself up against a flood of zombies spewing forth from the earth. In what began as a country retreat to work on his latest novel, the trip turns into a freak accident when a lightning bolt strikes his car, causing it to crash into a lake. Armed with a recharging flashlight, his only escape from the bitter waters is through a drainage pipe that eventually leads him to a mortuary chapel. All the while, a strange atmospheric phenomenon is taking place in the skies above...
to bad the firearms mod for HL (now FA source for hl2) isnt listed.
The Specialists is not only the best mod ever, but may even be the best game ever. What a huge disappointment.
Whoa, too many shooters. Where's Planetfall and TSL RCM?
Apparently only First person shooters are modded - what a tedious list... You guys ever play anything other than shooters?
there are also TONS of mods for oblivion and fallout 3 (halo mods for fo3 were sweet)
Hell yeah Natural Selection. Shame that game is a ghost town lately =/
As long as NS gets a mention, I can live with it.
Man, I sure played a lot of Action Quake 2. If it wasn't the inventor of the fps headshot, it came close (it did exist before Counterstrike).
What about the first real hard core mod Infiltration with iron sights, and in later versions breathing sway and running motion. Lots of fun. And speaking of the original UT mod's the western themed Badlands was cool as well.
The real winner here is Valve................
great games that come with great mods from the community.
Hope this Foster guy can bring me Half Life2 EP3 ASAP, im bored of playing the other half life..D:
vampire vs slayer for hl2 was pretty fun to play
there were also some very fun mods for Red Alert 2.
what about Fruit Doom, did anyone ever play that?? lol.
man this has to be the gayest list of mods i ever seen , aside from GTA every mod is FPSer mods ,wtf ??? what about oblivion , fallout 3 , dragon age , baldur's gate 1 and 2 , mechwarrior 2 and 4, just to name a few games from other genres that saw tons of mods
What about the master and maximum lvls for doom and doom2? User created lvls distributed by ID. Even came with a sweet poster.
no love for the dota? But it's your favorites so fair enough.
How come all mods are for shooters (except the gta one) ?
Imo the best mod ever made must be Wake of Gods for Heroes of Might and Magic 3. It made the already best game of the series into a much much better game.
It really beats any mod in this list except ctf and cs, and since I don't like fps much, is top on my list.
The WW2 mod for Myth II is still one of my favorites.
Way too many FPS mods in this list, sigh.
No CoD-Modern Warfare mods eh?
Their are alot of mod packs, and items taken by the developers to use in the craptastic MW2.
A favorite newer mod for Modern Warfare was the Star Wars mod. Map was Tattooni, Empire vs Stormtroopers, blasters of all types etc. Fun stuff.
CPMA
Where's Painkeep? That was an excellent mod for Quake. The can of beans to help you jump higher when you fart was hilarious. Of course, the farts also gave up your location.
Oh, and the air gun to blast a rocket coming at you back at the shooter? Awesome.
Painkeep was the most played mod by my friends and I. I just don't see how that didn't make this list.
