The goal of Half-Life 2 : MMod is to enhance and expand gunplay, combat mechanics and the immersion factor by giving the Player more options and combat opportunities as well as refine how the Player handles his arsenal. Half-Life 2 : MMod also offers minor AI enhancements, extended abilities for combine soldiers, multiple bug fixes, enhanced visuals, VFX re-design, sound redesign and much much more, while keeping nearly every new feature in the mod totally optional.
This collection of patches will allow you to suffer through Jolly's Hardcore Mod and Very Hard Mod with MMod's gameplay updates and visual enhancements.
I also created a mod that will fry the soul of anyone brave enough to try it. Unlike those two mods that you’ve mentioned, mine actually has lore in the of form secret buttons with coded messages, which when found, will reveal the plot. Voice acting + 2 interesting and original puzzles. The mod is named; J.O.L.L.Y’s Cooperation. Feel free to try it Moddb.com
