Half-Life Havoc is a mod for Half-Life 2 centred around physics. The objective is to create a middle ground between Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod. The idea is to take the constrained physics play present in Half-Life 2 and combine it with the lack of urgency present in Garry's Mod. You are presented with a number of premade physics games or puzzles, but each one is designed to encourage free play within the given puzzle. The mod makes use of Valve's developer commentary system so with developer commentary mode enabled you are able to hear explanations of the physics and the games. This allows you to experience the Half-Life 2 engine's physics system and explicitly consider the physics, rather than playing the game with the physics in the background.

That's right!

It's up here

Gamecareerguide is the sister site to Gamasutra. They focus on student projects and getting into the industry.

It's almost the same as the essay up on the HLHmod site, but we reworked a few things taking into account some of the comments we received from all you lovely people!

Cheers!

Gmod already exists, and it's way better than anything I would make. It would be really cool to have some commentary for how Gmod works, though.

The one of Kleiner pushing the Metrocop? I can't actually remember...It's one of the earlier ones in City 17, it's just a set of about 6 steps in front of a random building you can't enter. It's posed in Gmod.

I love it but It would be great if we could play around with that bathtub filled with water ect.

That was something I really wanted to do, but the water's actually just a rectangle that looks water-like, and it's all mashed into the tub. If you look at the tub from any other angle you can see that the water doesn't actually fill it by volume, it's just a watery rectangle sitting awkwardly in the tub.

Yeah, it's mainly an instructional tool, not a lot of replay value, I'll admit. Hope it was briefly fun for you.
