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.
Get it now
To play, only Counter-Strike: Source is required. If it is not already installed, the free Source SDK base will also be downloaded through Steam automatically when the mod is started for the first time.

Excellent job fitzroy.
Had to redownload CSS from Steam to play this mod but it's definitely worth the time. Great way to combine gameplay of HL2 and CSS in one package. I must also praise your 'Mission Hub' design. Pure awesome :)
Strong in you, scripting and mapmaking forces are!
It gets quite difficult sometimes, especially when you got those APCs taken out or convoying hostages to rescue zone and you get swarmed with Combine forces. Might get a bit annoying if you're not used to using Quick Save in CS:S. But all in all it feels like 'worlds colliding' after playing both games and it's a positive feeling.
Voted 10/10; well done, sir.
Great mod, of course it would have been even better with original maps (there are only maps from css I think) but it's already awesome.
i really, REALLY wish i had CSS. This mod's screenshots look beautiful, and the gameplay sounds great.
It is great indeed.
This mod is so good! Thank you! I was wondering if you could put CS:S weapons models in the game? Or if I just replaced them would it work? I just want it to feel more like Counter-Strike. Thanks! Great work on this mod, it's amazing!
This mod does not support model replacement. Do not replace the models.
For some reason I experience CUtlLinkedList Overflow in the cbbl level. odd
There seems to be an issue with using bullet time while attacking the APCs in cbble. Am looking into it, but in the meantime don't use bullet time while attacking APCs.
same here! ...
...sometimes...

Note that both reviews indicate that Half-Life 2 is required - this of course is no longer the case as of the final update.
