HL2 and UT Mods

Those two games, Halflife 2 and Unreal Tournament (2k4 at the moment for me) are both blessed with active modding communities that add an awful lot of replay value to the game. I've been messing around with unreal's mods, finding the playership kinda low, and having the same issue with HL2 mods with the exception of Dystopia and CS. Dys is okay and CS has lost it's appeal over the years, but where's all the exciting modwork being done? Are there any active FPS mods that don't charge, or have nearly all of them moved to the steam pay-for-play micropayment model?

I'm a big fan of adrenaline rush games, and shooters usually take the cake. But I'm not seeing many cool, active mods. Anyone here play these games, or would be interested in getting in on some action were we to set it up?

Conversely, if you have a new product or something to recommend, I'd be interested. Always looking for the next fix.

If you want multiplayer, I can't help.

But for single player UT, theres only one mod needed.
Excessive UT2K4, takes unreal, makes it more unreal, nuff said.

Play alien swarm. It's hilarious on pub servers (stay away from people with flamers, lol) but with a good team it's awesome.

If you can find anyone who plays it, the Strider mod for HL2 is great fun.
