HL2 Mod Night?

J Arcane · 11-24-2008, 11:48 AM

I had a thought last night, while staring at my list of Source mods in Steam, and realizing how many of them I never actually get to play.

What if we set up some kind of mod night for HL2 mods? Just about damn everyone has the game, and for those that don't, most of us that do probably still have gift copies that could be passed about. The mods themselves are free, we'd just have to make sure to give plenty of advance notice as to what mod would be played on any given night so that they could be ready to go come gametime.

It'd just be nice to finally be able to play some of the great mods like Fistful of Frags or Eternal Silence, since there never seem to be any damn servers up for the games.

I would be up for this. I just noticed yesterday that there are a ton of interesting looking mods out...

Though, this may have to wait until the Left4Dead hype dies down a little.

I'd be in for stuff like this, since I missed out on the whole hype when it first came out. Lack of a good computer cuts you deep.

Having spent much of the weekend in SMOD Redux V6, I'd say this is a great idea.

If we get at least a day's notice on the mod, I'll be up for this (it takes time for me to download them).

We have, on occasion, tried this before. Dystopia and Day of Defeat were hits. But given how tough it is to set up a stable server on the third party mods like Insurgency, it can get spotty. The next major step I want to see valve take is to get better server tools out to mod makers. I have never been able to get any of the command line based ones to work right in XP.

You only says this because you can't play with the rest of us.

There's a small chance I'll have L4D within the week, but anyway, yeah, you're right.

Thats good.

I am so busy I probably shouldn't be playing but I have been.

Oh lint, it's SOOOO good.

Enjoy Zombie Panic Source while I'm blasting away Boomers, Smokers, Hunters, Tanks, Witches, hundreds upon hundreds of normals and even my own teammates!

Lint of Death · 11-25-2008, 06:18 AM

Hey don't you diss Zombie Panic! Source just because you tried to join us on a sucky level and then never came back

MagGnome · 11-25-2008, 06:29 AM

I'd be up for this as well.

I hoping to get more L4D time in with you guys this week, but playing through some mods sounds ful as well.

jacob.armitage · 11-28-2008, 05:24 PM

this sounds great, count me in for sure.

Disgustipated · 11-28-2008, 05:57 PM

Eternal Silence sounds great to me. Always wanted to play that.

Dukefrukem · 11-30-2008, 10:25 PM

anyone play Hidden? I love that mod.

bean · 12-01-2008, 03:53 AM

Eternal Silence is really good. . . well, at least the space portion is really good.
