en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half-Life_2_modsI've played a few of the single player mods there... Antlion Troopers is a lot of fun, and hard as hell. Das Roboss was ok, you did get to control a giant mech at the end and fight against another. But it was pretty simple movements and attacks. HL2 Substance was ok, it was A LOT harder, with enemies starting right from the beginning. Some of the others that i've played that arn't listed (they include a city, farm, and water silo like area being over run with zombies..) are ' Night of a Million Zombies 1, 2 and 3. All 3 are pretty good. Zombie Master seems similar to your idea Nodata, and is Empires (which looks badass btw) the game you were telling me about? Edit: Ok, i just downloaded 'Wivenhoe:The Fall Of Ravenholm'... it's singleplayer, but if you REALLY want to scare the sh*t out of yourself, give it a try. From the very beginning it challenges you (you have to sneak by some guards and guns without being seen, if you're caught, you're dead) and moves right into the scary atmosphere Ravenholm had. So far, it's awsome, and well worth a try, even if you don't normally like the singleplayer missions.... give this one a go! (Btw you'll notice they use some sly and classic horror style tricks to scare the hell out of you.) Edit again: Just played through Causality Effect. It was pretty cool, and has 4 seperate endings you can acheive. Though at some points it does get a little hectic.

Yeah... Substance is the one with bullet time added into your suit's powers. Watched the video for Troy... doesn't look all to great, but good idea though. Bout to try out Empires and Battlegrounds. Edit: Alrighty, tried out BGs... it's pretty damn fun, you get to choose between 3 classes per team (American and British for those who never payed attention in history class ). You get hte classic 1 shot musket with bayonet (sp?) as a Soldier. As an Commander you get a pistol and a long ass sword. Finally, as a Officer you get another rifle (dunno what it's called) with a small bloddy knife. The crosshairs are large, white circles, so it's not exactly gonna be accurate with every shot you make. BUT what i thought was cool is that when you fire, it leaves smoke where you shot your gun., and it's pretty tough to see through it. It's CTF (there are different spots on the map you have to capture).

Empires kinda sucked. It looked and sounded kewl. Mix of FPS and RTS sounds good to me, but it was executed poorly. The game looks like a Half-Life 1 mod. It's other big downfall is there are absolutely no servers running the mod. Pretty bad when even the mod creators won't host a server for their own mod.

Doh, me and Nodata have been playing BG2. It's crazy with a lot of people.
