Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / August 2005Finished HL2, what next?
I just finished Half-Life 2 and I'm starving for another first-person shooter. I'm not really into the multiplayer/deathmatch stuff, I just want a good solo adventure that I can play in my spare time. -I like a good story and NPCs -I like games where I can use stealth rather than just run around in circles blowing stuff away -I like variety, like HL2's vehicles, squads, antlion armies, etc. Any suggestions? Doom 3? I figure nothing will live up to HL2 (until Lost Coast or HL3 comes out), so for now I'll settle for a close second. Any ideas?

Variety of vehicles etc. I second Far Cry (actually third when you could Chadwick's recommendation). It hasn't got the best story and the NPCs you don't generally interact with directly, but then again it DOES have a heck of a lot of gameplay freedom. You can use stealth or rambo action depending on the situation, and stealth actually works here. Variety is the spice of life, and Fry Cry does have that to. Some of the enemies are a bit annoying (i.e. monkey trigens that can can hit you even from a few feet away), but overall it'll probably satisfy you quite nicely. DOOM 3's a game you'll either love of hate, or love at first and then hate due to it's LACK of variety. It's great fun at first and very atmospheric, but due to the lack of gameplay variety you won't get much out of subsequent plays. > I just finished Half-Life 2 and I'm starving for another first-person > shooter.

Far Cry IGI (1 or 2) Deus Ex (not so much eye candy, but a fantastically layered game with a strong story) Tribes vengence is quite good if you have done all the rest! What about Riddick Maybe ??? >I just finished Half-Life 2 and I'm starving for another first-person >shooter.

I'm constantly dranw back to it.

Doom 3? Based on your criteria, Doom3 is a HUGE NO. Just thought I'd emphasise that in case you hadn't already concluded the same. - -- Frode > Any suggestions? Doom 3?

Hmm I don't know I am a bit impressed by the Splinter Cell series, though it's a bit different than HL2 :-) Far Cry, Painkiller ... Stalker? New video from SC Game World :-) http://www.stalker-game.com/index_eng.html What about a HL2 SP Mod? Substance? http://ludus1942.ngi.it/index.html Better than DOOM3 hehe HTH >I just finished Half-Life 2 and I'm starving for another first-person >shooter.

If you have already played the other games being suggested, which I agree wholeheartedly with (especially Deus Ex as I consider it the best game ever), and you are really looking for a story driven game with lots of stealth, you might want to look into Second Sight. As you read the reviews, you'll find it genreally rated hightly except for the targeting control setup. It is is somewhat cumbersome and can be frustrating when the game chooses one target and you want another. But that is all the more reason to use stealth and not do battle with more than two enemies at a time. Normally, I'll quit plying agame pretty quickly if the control is funky, but the story and the psychic weapons kept me going. It was worth it. And you can probably pick it up cheap.

It would be better if i could make a MOD for it. I NEED to make a single-player mod for Half-Life 2, but I don't know how. I was told it was suppose to be mod-friendly. But, so far it seems like mod-stuck-up-bitch. > I NEED to make a single-player mod for Half-Life 2, but I don't know how. > I was told it was suppose to be mod-friendly. But, so far it seems like > mod-stuck-up-bitch. It IS mod friendly :-) How far have you gone and what seems to the problem? It's even more easier to do maps in HL2 than it was in old HL SP mods usually involves changing the gameplay, introduce new models and new maps Changing the gameplay demands experienced C++ developers New models demands experienced 3D modelers and map making also demands 3D modeling, architectural skills/knowledge and logic analytical skills etc Also for models and maps new materials/texture is needed which as well demands experience in working with imaging and graphical tools More information at http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Making_a_MOD Main page http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Main_Page Oh this is interesting The Cabal: Valve's Design Process For Creating Half-Life http://www.gamasutra.com/features/19991210/birdwell_pfv.htm HTH/Peter >> I NEED to make a single-player mod for Half-Life 2, but I don't know >> how.

I had been making some interesting locations (in and outside) and collected wavs from other games (probably illegal, and I don't care) but, I don't know how to turn it all into a HL2 Mod! and thanks for the links > More information at > http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Making_a_MOD [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > HTH/Peter > but, I don't know how to turn it all into a HL2 Mod! Ahh but that's the beauty of it all Have you downloaded the SDK through Steam (you must have You should have a link in the menu: Create New MOD Better check ....
