Half-Life 2: Short Stories
Half-Life 2 mod | Released Feb 8, 2010
Half-life 2: Short Stories encompasses two, separate modifications: Paradigm Decay and A Human Error. Both projects are episodic based, with an arc anticipated to span three episodes each. This short collection is based entirely in the Half-life universe, and you'll be engaging in new kinds of gameplay throughout. The main goal behind these projects however is simply to release; short, contained and polished pieces of gameplay that aren't stuck in limbo or mod development for two plus years only to never see the light of day.
Paradigm Decay
For humanity, time stands still; a gradual decay under the Combine's relentless consumption of its people, technology and planet. The world lies dormant; its secrets lost to the ages, forgotten and free from exploit and plundering. Now, out in the distant Siberian wastes, men of science have uncovered an expanse of land long liberated from tampering, and have begun to unearth its mysteries... mysteries that lead into the most secluded, darkest regions of space... Paradigm Decay is comprised of three short Episodes that are each told from entirely different perspectives, each contributing to the overall arc in its own. Through these characters unravel a web of lies and manipulation.
Human Error
Some chose to resist, others chose to collaborate; to yield to the Combine and enforce their rule and will. One such body is the Civil Protection unit, an arm of the Overwatch that maintains order in the Cities. In Human Error, become part of a small Civil Protection team that is pitted against the remains of the Xenian forces, who are making a last ditch effort to escape Earth. Utilize a variety of new tools such as controllable manhacks, and use new vehicles such as the APC.

The death of the Nihilanth threw the Xenian army into disarray, and the subsequent portal storms stranded many on Earth in the wake of Combine occupation. After once more having to endure existence beneath the totalitarian boot of their cosmic nemesis, they have searched for a way out. Now, buried in the heart of a dilapidated university, they've found it.
In Human Error, relish the opportunity to join Civil Protection and stop the Xenians from ever finding peace! Step into the jack boots of Anders, and follow his story through a moral quagmire of thinly disguised genocide and raging psychotics. Vortigaunts, Alien Grunts and Controllers stand in your way from dashing the hopes of an entire civilisation, but worry not: you have at your disposal all the perks of the Combine empire. Step into the APC, equip your manhack and stand side-by-side with equally disgruntled traitors to the human race, Eloise, Noah and Larson.
With the .zip file, simply unzip it and copy it to your SourceMods folder (which is something like C:\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\ depending on your Steam installation). Make sure the mod's foldername will be "Human_Error". If you want to help us host the files, let us know. If you have questions, comment, etc. remember our Moddb forums.

Good work, high quality mod. It's rare when you get this level of scripted sequences. There were some minor bugs revolving around a couple of them, but nothing that took me out of the moment. Overall, great work.
SUPER AWESOME...
Larson is my fav
and i really like the final battle.
It was a really good mod. But now instead of writing long sentences, I just stick with the good old Pros/Cons list. *Contains spoiler*
Pros:
- Great storyline.
- The dialogues where like real life ones, and the recordings/sound of characters and enemys (which is an extra surprise) was clear and matching there characters.
- Custom content, Apc, Manhacks.
- Clever puzzles.
- Personally, I liked the dark humour, and the idea to make our AI partners jerks was splendid.
- Contrast between the past and present.
- Some of the fight scenes and the scary parts.
Cons:
- Some of the models could have used a little more work, like Olivia, the Alien grunt. Especially Noah's eyes where the weirdest.
- The Apc was hard to drive, probably because it's based on the Airboat.
- I didn't die much, but the enemy could pack quite a punch.
- Sometimes the ghost scenes felt weird, it might be because I could easily walk away (like from the intro and not taking photos), I would much prefer to be frozen or slow-motioned like when G-man appears in Half-Life 2.
- The end battle was not THAT challenging, it was frustrating at first but then it became really easy.
So overall 9 out of 10 and I am waiting for the second part too.
just watched tht video and its brilliant the best promo ever tht alone deserves MOTY 2010. but yh can i use any source game? (srry for the double post)
yep. one with the orange box engine.
can i play this with any source game?
There are parts of this I really, really loved. The introduction was probably the best I've seen in any mod. Properly authentic and beautiful. It comes back round to stuff of that level of quality at times, too, but I couldn't help feeling a lot of it felt rather incongruous. Much of the humour fell flat for me, especially when the primary origin story was a tugging-on-heartstrings one. Just didn't quite seem to click. I got lost or stuck a couple of times, too, when the route should have been obvious but wasn't signposted well enough.
I really do look forward to Ep 2, because this shows a hell of a lot of promise. Something just fell a little short this time out for me.
Anyway, I've written up a full review over at UserCreated (http://bit.ly/c8bEHs). Best of luck!
I really loved your mod,except the Alien grunt which was not the best,but i guess it was not easy to make 1.anyway,keep up the good work.
I just finished it and I was blown away, Human Error kept me hooked every second, the characters are amazing and I enjoyed all the witty conversations between them, the manhack weapon was put to great use with the puzzles.
Cannot wait for the second episode because this is a must play by all gamers.
The models looks better than Black Mesa Source's
