HL has a great mod scene, with seemingly more flexible mods than UT. These two games have been around for years, and only recently have the better mods stopped development or started to move to HL2 or UT2k4. What are your favourite HL mods? I'm currently playing The Specialists 2.0 and Natural Selection 2.0, and alot of the other mods I've played haven't matched them for quality.

I'm a big fan of Neil Manke's mods. They're done with a quality that almost rivals Valve's development teams. I also enjoyed playing Heart of Evil, although it had a number of bizarre level bugs.

TFC and Natural Selection

The Specialists, Counterstrike, and Natural Selection.

TFC.

The Specialists looks cool, but when I got on... there weren't any servers.

I'll stick with CS 1.6 for right now.

Firearms, DoD, Pirates, Vikings, Knights, and hopefully Conflict in 'Nam

Looks like you either got on at the wrong time or didn't set your filter right cause I had at least 30 servers and plenty of people to play against every day.

OSP, InstaGib, CorkScrew, Rocket Arena, Alternate Fire, Generations, Excessive, QPong, Freeze Tag, Ultra Freeze, and vanilla Quake...

Day of Defeat.

Natural selection. Oh, and Sven Co-op can be fun if you can find a server with a decent number of players.

Day of Defeat
Firearms
And to a lesser extent, Natural Selection

Natural Selection 2.0

Day of Defeat.

I find it a great blend of realism, atmosphere and fun (although my biggest niggles are with the balancing of the guns).

TFC
CS (Occasionally... Gets repetivive in long stretches)
DoD (I can only play dod_flash, since its the only map that doesn't lag my comp)
Desert Crisis - Great mod, if a bit obscure. Small community, but very very fun.

I played the Specialists before, didn't like it. I kept getting spawn killed, it was too chaotic for my tastes.

I might as well ask in here:
Has anyone played both DoD and BF1942? Is DoD worth playing if you game BF1942 online already? Everyone tells me it's a lot like MoH. I didn't like MoH that much because I played BF first and loved the option the fly planes, drive jeeps, etc.

Firearms
DoD

I find it a lot like MoH, but a lot more intimate. Of course, you can't fly planes and drive tanks, but then you do get more, I guess, atmospheric infantry combat. You can always just download the mod and give it a try if you have Half Life.

DoD has far smoother infantry CQB, as that's what it concentrates solely upon. Its much more realisitc than 1942, both technically and historically. I like both games. DoD tends to be smaller, most of the maps are small urban environments and there are fewer players per game. The controls and feel are quite a bit different, if I've been playing one for a while and not the other, it takes me some time to readjust to the other.
