So I just got Half-Life 2 a few weeks ago for my comp a few weeks ago and I've been looking for some good mods, single player mostly, but the search isn't going so well.
So I figured I would try asking here for some recommendations. What are some of your favorite HL2 mods PA?

(Caveat, though: the final version requires Episode One to play.)
For a while, there was a PA community for Zombie Panic: Source, but that has since died down.
Dystopia and Pirates, Vikings and Knights II are two other multiplayer mods I've enjoyed playing in the past and they're both going to be available from Steam at some point in the future.
I'll check back here after some TF2.
These don't have to be modern cards, either. I logged into my Steam account from my 500MHz Pentium 3 that had a 16MB ATi Rage 128 and registered the games, and then installed them on my laptop.
On a side note, everyone knows about the upcoming Black Mesa, but I guess there is another HL2 mod in production called Operation Black Mesa, which is aimed at converting Opposing Force to the Source Engine, and yet another titled Blue Shift: Source, that predictably is aimed at updating Blue Shift to the Source Engine.
To actually answer your question though, a couple of guys I know tell me that HL2 Capture the Flag is coming along nicely.

holy balls
Wait what? Black Mesa is definitely coming out, they even released the trailer for it a few weeks ago.
What I really want out is Natural Selection 2.
No. But all they ask for is your soul.

A reasonable and measured response.
Especially when it's only 1280 wide good grief.
You didn't notice where it said "singleplayer mostly"?
That means we can reccomend multiplayer mods as well, which helps because the vast majority of HL2 mods are MP (which is kind of a shame).

Yeah, I mean I love multi-player mods as much as the next guy but a really well-made single player mod is wonderful.
Also, I second SMOD. It's really just HL2 with added wacky shit but it's a ton of fun and is hilariously game breaking.
By the by, I have beaten HL2 many times, just on the xbox, which is why I'm so interested in mods.
Hmm, maybe I'll do The Citizen next.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
It's an HL2 mod with the same characters, etc, but in a parallel universe. It's bizarrely awesome.
It is obviously inspired by Natural Selection, but it takes the whole RTS/FPS merger much further. Two teams, each has a commander who decides on research, places buildings, gives orders, etc. The two teams vie over resource nodes, and use those resources, make boomtanks and conduct research for better, faster, stronger boomtanks. Its a game with a lot of depth - worth checking out if you have any interest in team games.
Make sure to read The Horribly Translated English Readme aswell, since you can mess around with console commands to have a lot of fun. The one that comes with the download is in Moon Language.
Thanks for the recommendations, guys. I've long ago given up on multiplayer, so single-player mods are right up my alley.
