One of the cornerstones of the modding community, the mods of which have often been spun off into games of their own. Most famously, the MMO shooter Counter-Strike owes its existence to originating as a Half-Life mod.

The fact that Half-Life is still getting new mods all these years later speaks to how passionate the community for this game still is, despite Valve constantly throwing up the middle finger at them from atop their yacht made of money.

While there are the usual suspects when it comes to mods, the best thing about the Half-Life modding community is the overhaul mods. This is where Counter-Strike came from, mods that take the assets of Half-Life and just build something brand new out of them.

From competitive shooters to entirely new perspectives on the story of Black Mesa's experiment gone wrong, there's endless fun to be had with the Half-Life modding community.
