Mod of the Year

2004 Mod of the Year Results ARE IN!

Each year we see a flurry of 'Game of the Year' awards features. We have even seen some 'Mod of the Year' awards, however, they have often been small uneventful features, judged by a few biased reporters and limited to one game. Not anymore; 2004 marks the first year when the public who make and play the mods out there get to decide which are the best going round.

Two competitions will be run:

  1. Finding the best released mods from each genre (i.e. action, adventure, strategy, etc.)
  2. Finding the best mod designers, the talent within the community (ie. best models, website, animations, etc.)

The outcome will be interesting; will the next-generation mods on the next-generation engines prevail or will the old classics come through with the goods? Will the popular games with tons of mods win by masses of numbers, or will the games with a few mods fuelled by cult followings prove a force to be reckoned with? Well January 2005 has come and gone so the results are in!

Report RSS Top 100 Mods from 2002 Onwards

For the first time ever, Mod DB takes a trip down memory lanes and digs up the top 100 mods from past Mod of the Year Awards.

Posted by on

Until now, only the top 100 mods from 2006 and 2007 were ever revealed. Today after shifting through the sites old data we decided to dig up the old top 100 mods from 2002 onwards, so you can take a trip down memory lane and see what mods were hot way back when Counter-Strike was still growing, Half-Life 2 didn't exist and fuel cost the same price as a big mac meal.

It is a great mix of classic mod titles from Half-Life 1, Quake 1, Tribes, Unreal Tournament (basically all the big-name games) before 200 sequels were made. Enjoy!

The original CS and DoD mods :) Just goes to show what can come from modding. There seems to have been an ever increasing pool of games modded that are reaching the top 100 as the years have progressed.

It would have been nice to see what actual positions in the TOP 100 our mods actually reached at the end of all these awards.

Position is irrelevant, I dont see why you would want to know where things placed

How's is position you finish in irrelevant in any competition, as it's something every competitor likes to know, i.e how well he or she did, as it can give you that much needed boost to continue your hard work.

I also recall you posting that you were in fact going to post this information this year.

This is also got to be the maddest competition that i've seen, as your entered without being given the choice & then when it's all over your not told where you came in it anyway, unless your prize winner, pure madness.

I think it's really interesting to have names. having a list of them in position shows who was popular in each year.

I hope we get a list of positions this year

Here, Here

as without this the competition seems all a bit pointless to many of the TOP 100 entries that never realy had much of a chance of winning a TOP 3 spot anyway.

It is lame to see the same mods for HL2 every year since 2004, there are mods that yet haven't finished but just wonder around those pages.
