There's also Entropy: Zero 2, which is a sequel to Entropy: Zero. A beautifully hand-crafted mod that's also free on steam right now, no spoilers but I definitely recommend giving it a go because its probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a Half life 3 imo. Other than that, great work on the video!
I think it's increditable we still mod and get excited for mods of what is soon to be a 20 year old game. Half-life is a masterpiece. Thanks for the list, i shall play all of them.
Hi, nice video, but recently we published an update where we added a separate mod settings menu, and you can turn off all camera shake and wiggle. Enjoy your game!
Another thing to note is that many of these mods also have patches to play with HL2: MMod, which updates the general gunplay of HL2 and adds some visual improvements to the game.
thank you so much for the compilation almost the entire list were my first playthroughs and the community went INSANE on half life mods holy! Please more vids like these especially with MMOD compatibility i need more !~
im really glad that i found a good youtuber to fill this niche of contet, cant wait for more videos! ps: i dont mean only vids like this one, everything you have made so far has been entertaining and im dying to see more! I will see you in the major leagues!
Just finished watching this video, loved those reviews and am currently downloading most of those mods. Thanks for giving me a reason to stay up on Saturday!
heres some hl2 mods I would recommend: exit 2, rift 17(demo), what remains, bear party adventures(if u can find it), southernmost combine, spherical nightmares, whoopservatory
Silent Escape is sadly one of the only mods from here that isn't on Steam some mods here are already on Steam while the others don't have a page. I really hope more mods from this list go on to be featured in Steam page.
You say it was odd to see a hunter in the city in the Silent Escape mod, but actually ya see, in the city the city the place was lousy with hunters, I used to kill 10...20 a day! just using my fists
6:04 The description for Silent Escape: Induction which is a reimagining of Silent Escape tells you that the protagonist's name is actually Shawn and not Sean.
kind of wish you dropped some classic or old Half Life 2 mods in this (like the Citizen series, 1187, MAYBE Get a Life, Ravenholm+Eye of The Storm, or Human Error which a lot of Civil Protection mods owe their legacy to...RiP Human Error Episode 2 and Combine Destiny 2...), but this list is pretty good.
How did it not come to your mind to include Entropy: Zero 2 in this list? This alone would've been sufficient, the list is great but come on man, it's the best mod out there.
Hello! I love your video and subscribed to the channel because I loved Half life 2. I recently bought a steam deck and can I play all this mods on the steam deck? Thank you 😊
wanted to make a comment trying to install some of these for someone who rarely install mods *Forest Train*- was able to load it and run it *Mission Impropable*- the only thing impropable is trying to run this, I installed the full game then the patch and I still get it loading up a white screen and crashes, must be doing something wrong *Rebel Surge*- yeah after moving all the files over it ran pretty good (just upload the mapbase separately with the rebel surge folder) *Transmissions: Element 120*- this looks great I'm surprised I did not find this on steam mod lists *Local Motive: Definitive Edition*- another one that works great after dragging in the file *Evacuation* - another one I did not know was on steam (someone needs to update those steam lists of HL2 mods)
i really like mods that dont change graphics of the engine or functionality. i hated Entropy Zero 2 because it didn’t feel like half life, i get its a controversial opinion because its like the best mod out there but if im gonna play a half life 2 mod, i want it to feel like half life 2. this video has given me some great mods, thank you.
I know you are into deep lore and good worldbuilding, so please check out G String Beta (free Source mod). You can also check out a newer game made by the developer released under the same name (G String), however that is a different version of the story and essentially a alternate timeline/non canon sequel.
you missed a mod, a great mod called lambda wars. is a rts like game, very cool, at firs it was a hl 2 mod, then a source engine mod and now is a alienswarm mod
aw man you did not mentioned They Hunger i know its 20 years old but its still really fun and well made and the story is quite alright for a silent hill type of game made in gold source , its also pretty long like 10-16 hours or so
I don't know why you didn't mention Entropy Zero 2, but that mod is so good it almost looks like it was made by Valve themselves. To anyone who might read this, E:Z 2 is basically the closest thing you got to Half Life 3 lol. It's basically HL3 plot from the combine perspective. I suggest anyone who loved HL2 to play those two mods, you can see how the developer evolved between the first and second part. We might even get the third Entropy Zero one day, who knows.
Is there any modern military mod with good storyline and a decent length of gameplay that is made in Source or at least a complete Half-Life 2 conversion mod that is unrelated to Half-Life 2 universe and you, as the protagonist, is not Gordon Freeman?
@@1lucia hey, do you know if there are non-horror tactical shooters mod similar to games like Ready or Not, or Unrecord for Source? Same being outside and unrelated to Half-Life universe, and realistic.
hey guys there was HL2 mod that I played a long time ago but I can't remember its name, Can someone help? All I remember is that its final fight was at the beach with striders and many more..I remember I drove the car through tunnels many times to get to the beach
There is a fix of some kind. It involves editing the gamedata file in the mods files. Something like copying it from another mod. But I’m unsure right now. You should be able to find some answers on google :)
all you guys are for some reason acting like I said that these 15 mods are the only ones you should play lol. I could probably make 30 more of these videos, I'm saving some for later :P Also, I made a very indepth video on E:Z 2 already :)
I like your videos but I always feel like they play about 10-15% faster than they should. Do you speed up? However, this makes, in my opinion, the video uneasy to watch. How about letting the viewer breath a little bit? Now it's way too uncomfortable for me 😟
I often hear that I am a very fast speaker. I think it’s just in my nature, I don’t go out of my way to speed them up. I try to speak slower in these videos usually, but I get it’s still too fast for many
Oh, I was expecting you to speed them up to give viewers more information in less time or something. Well in the end it's probably your style, I just wanted to mention it because I can hardly keep up as a non-native English speaker. Unfortunately, the 0.75x speed of UA-cam is too slow for me 😂
@@SurrendeR1993 Yea as a non-native english speaker I can imagine it being tough, sorry! I try to actively slow down in my videos knowing that I talk way too fast usually. Perhaps my other videos are in a better speed for you! :P
Be sure to watch until the end! :)
I added a link for a 1 minute tutorial on how to install Half-Life 2 mods in the description :)
I hope you didn't include EZ2 on purpose, because otherwise it would be a shame
There's also Entropy: Zero 2, which is a sequel to Entropy: Zero. A beautifully hand-crafted mod that's also free on steam right now, no spoilers but I definitely recommend giving it a go because its probably the closest thing we'll ever get to a Half life 3 imo. Other than that, great work on the video!
I think he knows that
Im sure he excluded EZ 2 cause everyone know about it
true
Entropy: Zero 2 is Half life 3 cannon confirmed and I cannot be told otherwise.
Story is so lame and the tone is wack. Fun to play though. Some average level design sprinkled in with greatness.
Fun Fact: the mod "Evacuation" is a mod of a mod called "Snowdrop Escape"
I thought it looked a lot like Snowdrop Escape. Hopefully unlike SDE it has level design that makes sense.
@@wta1518 Yep,SDE is a slog while Evacuation is mostly nice
I think it's increditable we still mod and get excited for mods of what is soon to be a 20 year old game. Half-life is a masterpiece. Thanks for the list, i shall play all of them.
Hi, nice video, but recently we published an update where we added a separate mod settings menu, and you can turn off all camera shake and wiggle. Enjoy your game!
Awesome! Glad to hear that! :)
Another thing to note is that many of these mods also have patches to play with HL2: MMod, which updates the general gunplay of HL2 and adds some visual improvements to the game.
Is there a way for me to quickly see a list of mods that have MMOD patches or do I just have to manually search each one
Amazing video as always! Will check out these mods after I'm done with Thunder's leaves and Swelter. This selection got me pretty excited
thank you so much for the compilation almost the entire list were my first playthroughs and the community went INSANE on half life mods holy!
Please more vids like these especially with MMOD compatibility i need more !~
Is it weird that I've played half life so much that listening to any combine voice I can just understand it.
love the surprised shocked face in thumbnail with the gaping mouth, fantastic preview of this video; really shows what it's about.
im really glad that i found a good youtuber to fill this niche of contet, cant wait for more videos!
ps: i dont mean only vids like this one, everything you have made so far has been entertaining and im dying to see more!
I will see you in the major leagues!
Just finished watching this video, loved those reviews and am currently downloading most of those mods. Thanks for giving me a reason to stay up on Saturday!
I highly recommend "Echoes" mod for HL1
My favorite mod of all time has got to be Underhell. It had an amazing story and good levels as well as a good convoy system.
Sebastian reminds me of long developing mod called Lost Squad, that was accepted to added in Steam in the early Greenlight days.
I love _Half-Life²_ and thanks for the mods info
thanks for this, fair few in this list I had not played
Underhell is a great mod as well. One of my most favorites. Under-rated.
heres some hl2 mods I would recommend: exit 2, rift 17(demo), what remains, bear party adventures(if u can find it), southernmost combine, spherical nightmares, whoopservatory
They also just added achievements to Evacuation, I ended up replaying it just for them which was fun.
press f to pay respects to the creator of "Local Motive: Definitive Edition" paid 100 bucks for it to be in steam.
Silent Escape is sadly one of the only mods from here that isn't on Steam some mods here are already on Steam while the others don't have a page.
I really hope more mods from this list go on to be featured in Steam page.
You say it was odd to see a hunter in the city in the Silent Escape mod, but actually ya see, in the city the city the place was lousy with hunters, I used to kill 10...20 a day! just using my fists
Silent Escape is actually getting a rework/sequel right now called "Silent Escape: Induction"
I would recommend to you a mod called What Remains. It’s mostly basic ep2 stuff but really well done, and not too short.
6:04 The description for Silent Escape: Induction which is a reimagining of Silent Escape tells you that the protagonist's name is actually Shawn and not Sean.
these mods have created good atmosphere of the orignal Half life 2 world and then we have Half life 2: episode 3 closure
Gracias Bro, solo jugué Year Long Alarm de esta lista :)
8:36 Half-Life 2 episode 1. Barney edition!
Obsidian Conflict was my favourite back in the day - eager for it to be released again..
Great vid, subtitles are a nice qol touch, comment for the algo
kind of wish you dropped some classic or old Half Life 2 mods in this (like the Citizen series, 1187, MAYBE Get a Life, Ravenholm+Eye of The Storm, or Human Error which a lot of Civil Protection mods owe their legacy to...RiP Human Error Episode 2 and Combine Destiny 2...), but this list is pretty good.
1:25 IS THAT STEPHEN HAWKING1!1!
I have been drooling for more half-life 2 mods after I got recommended to play entropy zero 1 & 2. I might have to try some of these mods.
How did it not come to your mind to include Entropy: Zero 2 in this list? This alone would've been sufficient, the list is great but come on man, it's the best mod out there.
I've made a full 1 hour video about Entropy: Zero 1 and 2, you should go check it out! :P
Hello! I love your video and subscribed to the channel because I loved Half life 2.
I recently bought a steam deck and can I play all this mods on the steam deck?
Thank you 😊
You should be able to download most of these from the Steam Workshop with 1 easy click! :D
wanted to make a comment trying to install some of these for someone who rarely install mods
*Forest Train*- was able to load it and run it
*Mission Impropable*- the only thing impropable is trying to run this, I installed the full game then the patch and I still get it loading up a white screen and crashes, must be doing something wrong
*Rebel Surge*- yeah after moving all the files over it ran pretty good (just upload the mapbase separately with the rebel surge folder)
*Transmissions: Element 120*- this looks great I'm surprised I did not find this on steam mod lists
*Local Motive: Definitive Edition*- another one that works great after dragging in the file
*Evacuation* - another one I did not know was on steam (someone needs to update those steam lists of HL2 mods)

My favorite hl2 mod is portal.
Gordon Freakmen & the sequel is perfect, recommended 100%
I wish there was a mod that focused on the 7-hour war.
Whats better
Play all half life 2 mods
Or
Play all old games?
Forest Train, Precursor, Deep Down and Mission Improbable are my favorite mods that truly deserve their Steam page but unfortunately they haven't.
I know you are into deep lore and good worldbuilding, so please check out G String Beta (free Source mod). You can also check out a newer game made by the developer released under the same name (G String), however that is a different version of the story and essentially a alternate timeline/non canon sequel.
And, who could forget one of, if not the best HL2 mod of all time, Black Mesa, the complete HL1 remake.
you missed a mod, a great mod called lambda wars. is a rts like game, very cool, at firs it was a hl 2 mod, then a source engine mod and now is a alienswarm mod
why is no one making mods on source 2 but not in vr that alyx engine is great
now i have a list of what to play
I would play some of these mods , but my Wi-Fi and laptop are disagreeing with me 💀
Also ur videos are very nice , keep up the good work
Interesting, maybe i'll try them.
1:20 Holy shit Steven hawking?
aw man you did not mentioned They Hunger
i know its 20 years old but its still really fun and well made and the story is quite alright for a silent hill type of game made in gold source , its also pretty long like 10-16 hours or so
they have the mp5 in entropy zero 2, and it says out of service weapon, so i think thats where thats from
I don't know why you didn't mention Entropy Zero 2, but that mod is so good it almost looks like it was made by Valve themselves.

No Genry's Great Escape From City 13⁉️ No Requiem Of Science⁉️ No Snowdrop Escape⁉️
Genrys is awful lmao
Is there any modern military mod with good storyline and a decent length of gameplay that is made in Source or at least a complete Half-Life 2 conversion mod that is unrelated to Half-Life 2 universe and you, as the protagonist, is not Gordon Freeman?
Underhell could maybe do the trick for you, that's the best I can think of in this moment
@@1lucia thanks, I'll check that out. You now gain a new subscriber here. 😁
@@1lucia I forgot to mention that I'm too cowardly in horror games. I watch the Underhell video, I might not play it due to the creepy vibe. 😭😭
@@1lucia hey, do you know if there are non-horror tactical shooters mod similar to games like Ready or Not, or Unrecord for Source? Same being outside and unrelated to Half-Life universe, and realistic.
Please do Mistake of Pythagoras! Probably the most unique HL2 mod. Only the real OG's know it.
ALSO PLAY MINERVA!!!!! Really cool map with an actually interesting story
Half Life Echoes is a MUST!
everyone's having fun with EZU and i cant fucking install it, i feel like that meme of squidward watching spongebob and patrick playing outside
Alright fine. Ill get hl2 when jt goes on sale
Good luck chad
Always wanted to get into Half Life mods since I love the universe, but never wantes to sift through all the shit on my own, nice
whats the song in the intro?
Nightmare house 2 is my favourite mod would recommend it anyone
any mods to play city administrator?
ty
No Genry's Great Escape From City 13, so wrong list
Lucia, i've got all of the achievements. I won your bet.
Good job! :D
What about Thunder leaf
Very cool video.
How are these mods installed? Steam workshop?
I know im late but the download links are in the discription
hey guys there was HL2 mod that I played a long time ago but I can't remember its name, Can someone help? All I remember is that its final fight was at the beach with striders and many more..I remember I drove the car through tunnels many times to get to the beach
Eye of the Storm too
No Nightmare House 2? :(
you can't download mission improbable, any fix?
There is a fix of some kind. It involves editing the gamedata file in the mods files. Something like copying it from another mod. But I’m unsure right now. You should be able to find some answers on google :)
@@1lucia thank you
Does anyone have a link for the F-4 Phantom mod?
all mods are linked in the description! :)
You forgot Minerva Metastasis
How did you not cover Entropy Zero 2?
What about swelter or snow drop? These mods are nothing compared to them
lol, i played first mod, but...
not in half-life...
I played it as an addon for Garry's Mod 😅
man you must be playing mods with snail speed
Probably
Thunder leaves?
Swelter is good too.
Cool
who scanned the QR? xd
❤
Only two of them are on Steam:(
Where a Snow Drop Escape?
You forgot swelter
hhhhhhhhooohmy goood
Bro probably didn’t include EZ:2 just so we would talk
all you guys are for some reason acting like I said that these 15 mods are the only ones you should play lol. I could probably make 30 more of these videos, I'm saving some for later :P Also, I made a very indepth video on E:Z 2 already :)
WHAT ABOUT ENTROPY ZERO 2 IT'S LITERALLY THE GOAT
trust me I have not forgot about entropy zero 2 lol
HMM why is it not on there?
@@Pnezyx2056 because everybody and their mom knows about entropy zero 2
anyone here for 20th anniversary?
You should do a video on team fortress mods
Good vid
very nice
