Everyone likes christmas no?
Yeah... the gifts.. the big tree.. the roaring fire!
Then again, there are the parents... the hugs... the crappy presents, the "sure to be radioactive" fruitcake, the old arguments coming back over and over again!

Thus, the use for this mod.
Xmas is a way to bring christmas... into Half-Life!
Everything in HL is replaced with christmas themed stuff. The 2d art, the models, the sounds, everything is changed!

So now, when your mad because of your ol' grandma coming to hug you and kiss your face, you can relax!... by shooting off a few grenades and blowing the crap out of your enemies!

Xmas: "Santa's coming to town!... and he's packin' heat!"

Working on Xmas was awesome.

Even now, having finished my game development course in college, i sleep at night and think about this mod that i created over the better part of a year, many years ago and smile.

It had everything a mod needs. Assets, a goal, a design document, a vision for how it should be played and damnit, it worked.

Now i'm at the point in my life where i have to look for a job in the gaming industry (not an easy task) and Xmas fits the build. But theres a catch.

Do i keep on working on Xmas for HL 1, which has already everything id need, or move onto the HL 2 engine and be able to create new and better looking assets?

Both has its pros and cons.

So im asking you, the modding community, what path should i choose.

Leave a comment and guide me through!

Wow, good to see that you are still alive. Just found this mod from Hlgaming.com , old article :)

HL1 or HL2... Go for Source, but don't forget GoldSrc. If there is something to add for GoldSrc later, make new version for it too, but source should be your main priority. And IMO, make good Single Player mod, theres not really need for any MP mod these days.

W00t. Well it still has a couple of months till xmas maybe you should updates, especially since "HL2 is going to be released this yer" *coughliescough*, still would be good tho that way no one thinks this is dead.

Since the only time Xmas is played is during the holidays, theres not much point in updating it.

There are also 0 server 99% of time.

Altough you can expect the arsenal to be completed and more maps added. That's for sure.
