Lost Alpha is a free addon for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl.
Welcome to the Players Choice - Upcoming top 5 award for Mod of the Year 2011.

Article
From the 1st of December to the 20th we asked quite a bit of our community, we asked that you decide what mods you think are the best mods for 2011. We tallied up the votes for best upcoming mod and arranged them into a top 5.
Ladies and Germs these are your top 5 upcoming mods for 2011.

To qualify for the top 5, the mod must place higher than it has in previous years and must have had a significant update in 2011. Otherwise an honorable mention is given, which these teams have received:
Once again Black Mesa is an unstoppable vote recieving machine. However until BM releases forever an Honorable Mention. Still players are eagerly awaiting the release of this mod. Chop chop!
Our voters seem to like Half-Life cannon however Operation Black Mesa just missed out by a small margin to better its previous placing. Since it did not place high enough OBM gets an Honorable Mention.

1Cry of Fear
You wake up in a dark alley, not knowing anything. What has happened anyway? You struggle after the truth and answers. Answers you want to know in the darkness and fear, which makes your heartbeat race like violent blows against your head. Where do "they" come from? What has happened? It's time to head out and find the answers.

Congratulations all, some cracking looking mods there, well done.
Quite surprised Freeworlds Tides of War isn't up there, as they are doing absolutely phenomenal work with the Freelancer engine. I'm sure they'll get the recognition they deserve once they release.
Talking of which, bring on the released awards, can't wait. Shaping up to be another great awards season.
But what about the top 100? Why not have a list of mods and what places they occupied?
Congratulations!!
4 first-person shooters, and one that isn't but has a modern warfare setting.
Am I the only one that thinks that's sad?
Nothing wrong with FPS.
Wow no Ivan's secret? Oh well, good mods.
Congrats to the winners! Personal Honourable Mentions for RA3 Paradox!
Respect.
release the mod already! I feel like not having played half-life, ever. I'm waiting for you guys to release it! xD
Can't believe Third Age Total War isn't up there. In my opinion it deserves to be there more then a couple of others...but oh well I haven't played none of them :P
Conrgrats all.
TATW isn't an upcoming mod...
Amazing talent standing out this year ! Well done to all the teams with a project voted into the 2011 MOTY event.
Cry of Fear really deserved the 1st place! MOD OF THE DECADE!
Congrats to LA's 4th place!
Wow... I late :S
LOST ALPHA!
I expected these mods to appear here :(
Project Reality - Battlefield 2
Halo Homefront - Homeworld 2
Modern Warfare - World in Conflict
DayZ - ArmA 2: Combined Operations
Instead, they did not appear. Surprisingly, most of them is Half Life mods whereas I am not really into the Half Life universe moreover it is not a game leaning to realism. However, it got a deep sci-fi universe one like Halo and Gears.
Infinite congratulations to Cry of Fear!
Yeah, I know that I'm late.
