These changes might make Half-Life 2 an easier game overall and not in line with Valve's vision, but sometimes, you need something crazy to freshen up a repeat playthrough of a classic game, and this seems like a great way to do that. Also, "destroying an APC ejects the driver up into the air." This new version makes the mod simpler to install (letting you install it for Half-Life 2 and its two episodes instead of having to do it individually), adds a new dedicated crowbar key, flying attack, and refines the existing movement options. The mod has been out since the middle of last year, but received a big version-two update this week.


The mod also adds a short tutorial and mini-campaign, new airboat rockets, a button to quickly throw grenades (instead of having to manually swap to them), and a few cheat modes as well. The mod lets you double-jump, power slide, wall-run, and climb ledges. The Half-Life 2 Mobility Mod adds a number of movement options to the game that make its gameplay resemble Titanfall 2.

Where many developers now charge users for in-house total conversions (Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam, for example) PC gamers have long been able to enjoy similar efforts for free. Many of these games survived the jump from the original Half-Life engine to the Source engine, first used in Counter-Strike: Source & Half-Life 2 (and re-used several times in games like Left 4 Dead).

Thanks to the free software development kit (SDK) modders, mappers and modelers were free to hack and mould the engine into completely different games. Valve's original hit first person shooter Half-Life gave birth to some wonderful third-party development.
