Best Mod For Half-Life

[Hostile]

It made Half-Life what it is, not CS. It inspired a bunch of half-ass CS clones that didn't really go anywhere, and it's pushing all other mods right out the window. Before, there was a fair spread of servers for various mods. Now there's like 4000 CS servers, and only 10 AHL? 4 Existence? It's because all the companies, UK2, blueyonder, all them recognise the big money is in CS. It's not good for other mods because it takes all the attention away from them.

In no particular order, best current mods...

Natural Selection
Day of defeat
ESF (mostly for its technical achievements)
The Specialist (needs a lot of work yet)
TFC (always a classic when u need some DM fun)
Firearms (if you can get a well put together game going)

Best mods yet to release, again in no particular order...

Bushido
Half Life Rally
Monkey Strike

That's my list. And yes, CS is intentionally NOT on my list.

Also, in NS, marines don't always get pwned. It's well balanced ATM. If the marines get wasted easilly it's the fault of the entire team, especially the comm. If the comm sucks, you're screwed. If the rest of the team can't kill skulks, then they're done for too. I win all the time on both sides.

Dont you see how many factors the marines need secured inorder to win? You just listed them. All the aliens need are some good crowbar skills. Marines need: 1. good comm 2. good marskman 3. teamwork. 3 things against the aliens one thing. Its so ez once the aliens get 2 hives they win cuz those Fades are hard as hell to kill.

hostile, almost everything u can do in esf u can do in CS with the right mods on a server. u can have grapling hooks with low grav, thats about the equivelent of flying. u can shoot laser, there is even a warcraft modification for CS so u can gain lvls and skills special toe ach race, hell u can even drive different objects in CS, u can be turned into a chicken, and a wide variety of things that is not available in any other mod. u say esf is original i say it a mod about a very bad 80's anime. and i can tell you right now over 3/4's of the people playing ESF would not even now or play half-life if it werent for CS, CS is what brought people to half-life and games like CS, DOD, and TFC are the mods that will make them keep coming back to half-life. the reason there are 4000 cs servers is because of the fact that CS was and still si popular enough to make investors see where the money is going. considering about 1/10000 of the half-life community actualy plays esf if that, why would a server company consintrate on any mod except the ones that have a high play rate? its common sense. go where the money is and like it or not CS is where the money is.

Im4 please stop forcing your opinions on others. Its rather annoying and rude. We can all agree to disagree. There is no such thing as a "better mod".

 

[Ryoko]

He isnt forcing his opinion you. He's offering his views and I agree mostly.

Anyway, I like a mod called AGCT (nowhere near a realese though, lazy team... :x)

 

[[SAS]Orion]

Yeah AGCT rocks

And cs and dod are the best mods around at the moment.
You all moan how cs is bad and how hackers ruin it and everything, but that isn't the mods fault. You're talking about the people who play and not what the mod actually is.
ESF is not original, not by a long shot. Why do you think it is?
Its been done before by other mods, its taken its gameplay ideas from an anime, so it just can't be original.

You realize the irony of this oppinion, yes?

As to the NS thing: Right now it's really too difficult for either side to come back on top after the mobilization (Excuse the spelling) and expansion phases. Usually whoever has the most resources after this point is going to win. However, I have been in more than a few fights where the teams were on nearly equal standings and it went either way. Fades don't stand a chance up against a jet pack and an HMG. Hell, it's hard enough to kill anybody with a light machine gun who is boosting all over the place. The marines also have that lovely structure destroying sentry gun.

Besides, it isn't like any single alien can just destroy the entire enemy team. Even the aliens require some degree of teamwork to get anything done.

Natural Selection is by far my favorite mod. ESF was fun for a little while because I like DBZ, but honestly, I dont find the gameplay of ESF that amazing or fun. Yea its good once in a while for something different, but NS definetely takes the prize with me.
