Best Realism Mod

Navy Seals Covert Operations is a scale realism total conversion for id Software's Q3/TA engine. NS:CO pits players in realistic SEAL and Tango land covert operations in realistic settings with scale weapons, munitions, and equipment.

NS:CO is a tactically sophisticated feature rich multi-player game that emphasized teamwork and realistic SEAL SPECWAR missions and tactics.

Other, Mods So Real You'll Wet Yourself

Counter-Strike is a modification (MOD) to the excellent game, Half-Life. It modifies the multiplayer aspects of Half-Life to bring to it a more team-oriented game play. Counter-Strike provides the player with an experience that a trained counter-terrorist unit or terrorist unit experiences.

Front Line Force divides the players into two teams: Attackers and Defenders. The object for the Attackers is to capture various Capture Points spread throughout the map. The object for the Defenders is to defend those points. Once a point is captured by the Attackers it cannot be taken back. The round is over when either the Attackers capture all the Capture Points or when the round time runs out, in which case the Defenders win. After the a team wins, the roles of are switched. If you were previously attacking, you are now defending, and vice versa.

True Combat (Q3:TC or TC for short) is a tactical-realism modification based on the ID Software title "Quake III Arena". You will not need to have Team Arena installed to play True Combat, just the original ID Software release "Quake III Arena".

Day of Defeat is a World War II multiplayer total conversion of "Half-life." DoD attempts to recreate WWII battles in both fictional and non-fictional environments. DoD puts you in the shoes (rather, combat boots!) of either an Allied or Axis soldier circa 1944, Western Europe.

Global Warfare is a Team Based Multi-Player Half-Life Modification. That means if you have Sierra's Half-Life game then you can download and install Global Warfare and play it!

Best Sci Fi Mod For 2002

Natural Selection is an action-strategy game for the PC. It is a "Half-life modification", which means it is written on top of the Half-life game engine.

Other Sci Fi Mods That'll Leave You Begging For More

Vampire Slayer is a multiplayer, team-play modification for Half-Life with vampires.

GODZ is a mod of the Unreal Tournament video game created by Epic Games. GODZ completely converts Unreal Tournament into an original action game. Featuring incredible battles amongst genetically engineered, supernatural warriors built by rival planets to compete in a Universal-Wide Tournament. The prize is an untold fortune that will increase even the most impoverished planet into a thriving, economic power. Each fighter is a little nugget of nuclear power capable of mass destruction.

Shifter is the most enjoyable mod to play. Tribes 2 players around the world engage in Shifter, battling it out using more than just headshot skills and point click boom. Strategy, Combat - its all here, and loads of fun!

Best Comical Mod For 2002

Bid for power is a quake 3 total conversion. We have taken quake 3 and used it to create a new game. In order to play BFP, you will need the full retail version of Quake 3 Arena by ID Software, but once you have that installed, our game is a free downloadable add-on. Bid For Power will run on any windows, linux, or mac computer that is capable of running q3 and has both the full q3 version and the 1.31 or more recent point release installed.

Bid For Power attempts to capture the feel of anime style ki fighting. In the first release of BFP, 6 of the strongest fighters in the universe enter the arena in a fight for domination.

Nothing Quite Beats These Other Comical Mods

BoxWars, something unusual has been going on... There are strange noises in the warehouses at night, and a second ago, you could've sworn you just saw something move For some reason, ordinary boxes are coming alive! Scientists have been watching this phenomenon for quite some time now, but no one really knows what causes it. Sometimes scientists investigating these large warehouses at night vanish, and are never seen again. Some specialists think that it could be radiation that's somehow mutating the boxes. Others think it could've been a low-flying meteor. One delusional man thought they came from another dimension. No one really knows for sure. When you play this mod you will find out!

BuzzyBots where the game takes place 25 years ago (but on the other side of the galaxy .. hehe). What used to be a planet of peaceful BuzzyBots of mixed colors, has changed to a planet of war. No one can remember why, but outsiders have speculated that is has something to do with the strange "Skrunks" that came to the planets, only a few months before the first battles started. The "Skrunks" seems amused by the warfare and don't hesitate smashing a few robots them self, if there are anyone nearby.

Western Quake 3 is intended to be a realistic simulation of the "Old West's" great atmosphere. It is being developed - as you can see in the name - on id Software's Quake³ Arena Engine.

Best Action Mod In 2002

Max Payne: Kung Fu Edition is a mod that started sometime around August 2001. The whole mod is based upon the single premise of giving Max kung fu abilities. How could such a mod based on such an ideal game not be awarded this honour?

Other, Heart Pumping Action Mods

The Opera comes from movies and the teams love for the John Woo style films. "The Opera isn't about blowing a body into a thousand pieces; it isn't about being impersonal as you send a bullet into someone's head from 800 meters away."

Front Line Force divides the players into two teams: Attackers and Defenders. The object for the Attackers is to capture various Capture Points spread throughout the map. The object for the Defenders is to defend those points. Once a point is captured by the Attackers it cannot be taken back. The round is over when either the Attackers capture all the Capture Points or when the round time runs out, in which case the Defenders win. After the a team wins, the roles of are switched. If you were previously attacking, you are now defending, and vice versa.

Day of Defeat is a World War II multiplayer total conversion of "Half-life." DoD attempts to recreate WWII battles in both fictional and non-fictional environments. DoD puts you in the shoes (rather, combat boots!) of either an Allied or Axis soldier circa 1944, Western Europe.

DragonMod Z is a modification for the game Half-Life. Half-Lifewas created by Valve Softwareand published by Sierra On-Line,Inc.DragonmodZ is based on the Japanese manga / anime DragonballZ.Dragonball Z is an anime which is the sequel to DragonBall. Both Dragon Ball and Dragonball Z were created by Bird Studio/Shueisha, Toei Animation based on the manga created by Akira Toriyama

Earths Special Forces is a modification for the game Half-Life that shows off the DragonBall and Z characters.

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. :)

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

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 ! :)
