List of Half-Life Cut Content Themed Mods

Витой · on26 Feb 2019, 02:09:06

In this thread I made more or less complete list of all such mods that ever existed. Released, dead, halt or in progress - every single one of them.

Here's some criterias for this list:
1) Mod was more than just bunch of maps stolen from other mods with some garrys mod skins added
2) It was announced anywhere and can be at least tracked with internet archive website

Here's one that you didn't mention. The mods name is Terminus
Link: https://www.moddb.com/mods/terminus
It was just a rebranded Insolence but still thought it should be on the list. Started and died in 2014.

Lost Concept has been long dead and forgotten just copying Library of Leak Maps

My beta build2001 mod got a demo release on moddb!

Stay tuned to next year! I`ll release something.

Alright, once again thanks to everyone who posted all those links here, the list is more or less complete now. I had to remove mods' summary though, as when I wrote about 70% of them I hit the limit of symbols available for use in one post. They will eventually come back though, when (if) we will finally finish "Articles" section on the website.

I don't think "hl1 beta mod" should be on the list considering it was a troll mod I made to mock every low effort HL1 Beta mod that was showing up on ModDB at the time. It can't be dead if it never was a thing to begin with.

I still have it as well, no idea how it survived in my files.

Something I noticed, that Oldschool Story has only the v5 (aka City17) demo linked.

You could add the link to that old "lost" v4 demo that was showed on a stream a few months ago.

How could I know?

Removed it from the list.

Done. Thanks for reminding me.

So many dead mods, now i get where the stigma of creating a beta mod only to later be cancelled comes from.
