CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired is a single-player mod for Source. Waking up to find himself an augmented clone of Gordon Freeman, the player must fight time-travelling Combine forces across 42 missions set in Counter-Strike: Source environments, including pine forests, windswept fields and ruined factories. Each mission is goal-oriented and non-linear and can be played and replayed using different tactics, options and strategies.

  • Single-player.
  • Retains look and feel of Half-Life 2 while adding new weapons, enemies and abilities.
  • Includes an interactive mission hub, weapon test range and full Configuration Utility.
  • Features 42 non-linear missions, each with multiple goals, hidden secrets and deadly unpredictable AI.

For more information, please see:


Download and install the mod...
...then install the map patch.

The final version of CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired has been released. CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired is a single-player mod for Source featuring 42 unique, replayable missions. CSS SCI FI includes an interactive mission hub and full Configuration Utility which players can use to select different styles of gameplay, ranging from extreme realism to gib-tastic gore. Each mission is goal-oriented and non-linear and can be played and replayed using different tactics, options and strategies.

The maps
Missions in CSS SCI FI take place in 18 retail and 24 custom Counter-Strike: Source maps, which are installed intact to the player's CS:S game folder. The maps are unchanged and are fully playable in Counter-Strike: Source. Maps have been carefully selected with the collaboration of established designers, including Bluestrike, Schuzak and d00ds.com.

Replay value
Replay value sets CSS SCI FI apart from other single-player mods. Because the layout of each map is non-linear, there is never only one way to approach a particular target or goal. Players can work through each mission as many times as they like, discovering new features (including hidden secret weapons) and using new options from the configuration utility each time. Resources are distributed differently and enemies change their tactics with every play, making each mission a unique experience. CSS SCI FI brings the unpredictable excitement and high-quality replay value of a multi-player game to the single-player Source audience.

It sounds like you have a problem with your Steam installation. Use this link: Install to install the SDK base. If you can launch the SDK base to the menu screen then you should have no trouble with this mod.

Apparently I can't read either. Perhaps up at the top of the description would help people from making this mistake. So, does this require both HL2 and Counter Strike? It is listed as a HL 2 mod. I would guess yes from the pictures of combine.

The quoted text is AFTER the Download button. Sounds like a typical mistake.
