These days mods are to games what butter is to bread. With that year we saw many game companies holding more mod expose to teach or share (the tools) on how to mod. We saw more schools offering scholarships to game design this year. Many game designers played one mod before they put all the imagination they had into moving onto games.
Mods they are fun, original and extend the lifespan of a game to be virtually never-ending. With making mods you the creator have the entire world in front of you to decide what to make. Some mods have been stopped for not getting permission and the mods below are proof of doing it the correct way.
The idea of this article is to show the world and you noobs who live under a rock that sexy mods exist and no they are not Counter Strike. The first group of mods I will explain are mods released this year in 2003. If I didn't list a mod that was out in 2003 I am sorry. We set up a forum thread and so many people posted mods. Many of them were not mods that released in 2003. Some mods are not out yet. The rest of this is mods everyone voted on to say they loved them or thought highly of them.
For the first time ever, Mod DB takes a trip down memory lanes and digs up the top 100 mods from past Mod of the Year Awards.

Until now, only the top 100 mods from 2006 and 2007 were ever revealed. Today after shifting through the sites old data we decided to dig up the old top 100 mods from 2002 onwards, so you can take a trip down memory lane and see what mods were hot way back when Counter-Strike was still growing, Half-Life 2 didn't exist and fuel cost the same price as a big mac meal.
It is a great mix of classic mod titles from Half-Life 1, Quake 1, Tribes, Unreal Tournament (basically all the big-name games) before 200 sequels were made. Enjoy!

Neat
COOL
very awesome
Wow, massive early Half-Life dominance. I can't believe I didn't buy the original game for so long..
Very nice, keepin old info alive. :)
Wonderful mods. Good-ol-memories :D
yay.
2002 was a brilliant year for the Half-Life mods! So many great mods was released. Really legendary days! ;)
yeah 2002 was a good year i will agree with that comment
The original CS and DoD mods :) Just goes to show what can come from modding. There seems to have been an ever increasing pool of games modded that are reaching the top 100 as the years have progressed.
It would have been nice to see what actual positions in the TOP 100 our mods actually reached at the end of all these awards.
Position is irrelevant, I dont see why you would want to know where things placed
How's is position you finish in irrelevant in any competition, as it's something every competitor likes to know, i.e how well he or she did, as it can give you that much needed boost to continue your hard work.
I also recall you posting that you were in fact going to post this information this year.
This is also got to be the maddest competition that i've seen, as your entered without being given the choice & then when it's all over your not told where you came in it anyway, unless your prize winner, pure madness.
I think it's really interesting to have names. having a list of them in position shows who was popular in each year.
I hope we get a list of positions this year
Here, Here
as without this the competition seems all a bit pointless to many of the TOP 100 entries that never realy had much of a chance of winning a TOP 3 spot anyway.
I’m actually hoping for this too, it’s always very interesting to see.
Awesome lists, awesome games. Very nice!
The best games in all around
Wow 80,000 votes this year!!!! :O
2002.. good times:
DragonMod Z
Day of Defeat
Counter-Strike
HL Rally
When are the top 5 going to be announced for 2007?
It is lame to see the same mods for HL2 every year since 2004, there are mods that yet haven't finished but just wonder around those pages.
Ahh Shifter
good times.
