O.K here's the background.

I was (and still am and always will be) a huge fan of the original half life. I guess huge may not correctly address my addiction buts yeah lets just leave it at huge. I have always had an appreciation for custom mappers (though I suck at it) and have found that sometimes those add on maps were just as fun as the original. For HL1 I honestly don't think there was too man single player maps or TC's that I didn't play. And not just once either. I'm actually getting excited again thinking of playing through POKE 646, They Hunger, Azure Sheep, POV, Todesangst, heck even Wanted, or darkstar or a plethora of others.

Anyway. When HL2 came out I was of course totally pumped. Unfourtuntely my wife and I had some pretty serious budgeting issues at the time and a better PC and the cost of the game were not a priority when diapers and food needed to be bought. So I spent my free time (which is not much) replaying the HL1 games and a handfull of other I like (Warcraft series, Starcraft and a few others).

But we saved and I now have a decent system and HL2. I've spent my last couple of months finishing (and replaying) 2, lost coast, episode 1, and the source versions of the 1 series.

So now for my question: what sp maps should I be getting? I can't play multiplayer ones due to no high speed internet and to a certain extent I have always liked the SP maps better anyway. I always enjoy a great story line. Thanks in advance.
 
Well, unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot around yet, because HL2's mod scene is still relatively young, and only just beginning to mature. Definitely check out Adam Foster's MINERVA series (2/3 maps have been released so far), HL2: Substance, etc. There are a few other decent SP maps, Das Roboss, SMOD, etc.
 
The weird thing is, I've still NOT played through Das Roboss!

I need to.

Welcome to your new home. *RUN! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN!*

I haven't played Das Roboss either actually.
 
Minerva, Das Roboss, Pythagoras' Mistake...there was another good one but I can't remember what it was...could've been Infiltration.

On the HL1 side of things, Poke 646 2 is out, and if you have tried it pick up Someplace Else by the creator of Minerva Metastasis. Short, but really good. You can find them both here.

Enjoy your stay.

Darkside55- is POKE 646 2 for the original HL or the HL source?

ROFL :LOL:

These, and more reasons not to venture into the Politics section, where things like this get discussed and debunked.

That is very un4tunate. I guess I'll have to make my home elsewhere then. 2 bad my kind aren't welcome. Oh well, maybe someday us Black, Jewish, Commies (or "Comblajews" as we call ourselves) will be accepted 4 who we are. ;(
 
Welcome, my fellow numbers only-
