A new Half-Life mod is making waves by integrating the fast-paced multiplayer combat of Halo into the Half-Life engine. This innovative project showcases thrilling matches on recreated maps from the Halo series.
Since its inception, Half-Life has been a cornerstone of Valve’s lineup, often being revered as one of the greatest PC games ever. The elusive Half-Life 3 has sparked endless rumors and memes, fueling the anticipation around the franchise.
This new mod introduces a crossover that blends Half-Life with another iconic gaming franchise. While Half-Life solidified Valve’s reputation in the gaming world, Halo played a crucial role in establishing Microsoft’s presence in the industry.
The release of Halo: Combat Evolved marked a significant moment for the original Xbox, becoming the second highest-selling game of its generation. Halo has since developed into a successful series that includes six main games and numerous spin-offs, as well as a live-action series produced by Paramount in 2022.
A dedicated group of modders has taken the beloved multiplayer experience found in Halo and reimagined it within Half-Life. The Phoenix Project recently released a trailer showcasing gameplay for their mod, Halo: Goldsource.
This ambitious project brings Halo’s multiplayer game mode into the Half-Life engine, featuring iconic weapons and mechanics from the franchise. The mod includes full controller support to ensure players can enjoy a gaming experience reminiscent of the original Halo.
It also introduces a Shield meter, mirroring Halo’s mechanics, instead of the standard health point system used in Half-Life. As the mod approaches the end of beta testing, the Halo: Goldsource team has confirmed exciting plans for future updates, promising major enhancements every three to four months.
Anticipation is also building for a “Winter 2025 Update.” Meanwhile, rumors hint at potential announcements for both Half-Life 3 and a remake of Halo: Combat Evolved for the PlayStation, suggesting that the future holds thrilling news for fans of both franchises.
