Mods of 2002
With 2002 now behind us, it is time to look at the year that was 'modification style' and scope out what captured gamers imaginations, hearts and of course many hours behind the PC playing that beloved mod!

Ok now before you read this article and begin debating about it's accuracy among other things, unfortunatly at the time of writing the mod nomination scheme was not yet coded in. Therefore while we tried to get a fair representation of the communitys thought on the better modifications it was limited to a rather primative forum thread system. Therefore we admit many brilliant modifications will have been neglected, actually we *know* some have been however rest assured come the end of 2003, this feature will have grown, will span all games and no modification will be without a chance to get a mention on these elusive pages!
Mods (short for "modification") is simply a new game based on the game engine. The changes could be relatively minor, such as a mod that allows server-operators more control over death match game rules, or they could be so extreme as to make a completely new game (although these are usually referred to as Total Conversions (TC) or Partial Conversions (PC)).

These days mods are to games what butter is to bread. 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.

Half life was released back in 1998. It was an instant success and won the title of best of game of the year by most of the reputable gaming magazines. Half Life is a first person shooter, with the goal of killing the enemies. Half Life also came with the ability to play against friends on the internet or on a LAN. This game, despite been *old* in computer terms is still fun to play, which can be 100% accredited to the modifications created for it.

The world of Mods helps to illustrate the changing nature of the video game world. The same way that video game players have an interaction with the video games, the gamers now have an interaction with the game developers. Mods to video games help to underline the components of a game that gamers like the most. Mods underscore the fundamentals of the original game by bringing the best features of the original game to the lime light.

Mods go as far as 20 years ago. One such mod will be at its 20th year in 2003. Castle Smurfenstein, was a parody of Castle Wolfenstein, with the tools they used to create the mod makes mods today seem like a full time job.
DOOM became the first game to be non stop modified then Quake 1, and Quake 2 later on. Half Life was next and a mod could even be said to have surpassed the game. It is of course Counter Strike loved by many. Either way the team got paid and we didn't!
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 counter strike. The first group of mods I will explain are mods released this year in 2002. If I didn't list a mod that was out in 2002 I am sorry. We set up a forum thread and so many people posted mods. Many of them were not mods that released in 2002. 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.

I wanna give modDB big ups for thinking about us, and to all the rest of the mod teams for keep on keeping on! =D
We mad a nice forum thread and your mod was selected over and over. I wrote the article off the feedback I got.
Just wanted to say great work to all the modifications choosen. It was based on the feedback posted in that forum thread. Next year things shall be a little stricter and more automated, so I cannot wait to see another years work from these and all the other modification teams out there!
Thanks for the recognition gentlemen.
Just wait 'til you see the next release! :^)
The whole Natural Selection team and community are glad you guys recognized the teams efforts to make the best possible mod they can, thank you!
Without NS and mods listed in my article HL would be just another game. What each one these mod teams should do is share the spirit of HL and making a mod and help other mods be successful.
This way it gives me a chance to write a better article next year. :)
malarky!
No mention of Quest the lost realm! :( I am dssapointed =D
www.planethalflife.com/quest
:(
Were never mentioned but since you mentioned them I will include them in the next article for mods of 2003.
Big thanks from the Battle Grounds team. It is good enough to actually make a mod which gets released but when it gets listed along side mods like Natural Selection, The Specialists and Tour of Duty, it makes it more than worth the time making it .
Thanks modDb and all those who voted for any mod
I am happy that NS:CO has a mention for best REALISTIC game!
All the games here deserve a shot, but to the ones that made it to the nominations! MY HAT GOES OFF!

POKE646 ROCKS! iTS l337!!!
Cool beans, mods rock.
Thanks a lot for supporting our mod and making it known to a larger community. We are still striving to become the most realistic and still most fun to play mod for the quake 3 engine. And moddb has supported us in just the right way, attracting new players and bringing the mod closer to the community. So, /us hug all of Moddb in the manliest way possible... keep up the great work.
Also, just as a quick notice and to do some pimping, True Combat is approaching its next release with huge steps at the moment.... be prepared for a whole new level of playing realism mods ! :)
