CSS SCI FI 2.0 Full Installer file - CSS SCI FI REBIRTH mod for Half-Life 2

CSS SCI FI is a single player modification for SMOD. Maps from Counter Strike: Source are used as the setting for intense Half-Life 2 "Counter Combine" action. CSS SCI FI mixes random generation of enemies and resources with map-specific scripting to create a fully realised and readily replayable game.

The latest CSS SCI FI 2.0 release contains scripts which enable SMOD to be used to play 12 custom maps, in addition to the 15 original Counter-Strike: Source maps. All custom maps are unmodified and installed to your Counter Strike: Source maps folder in their original state, including bot navs and author documentation. With one installation you can play each map in three ways: against humans online, against bots in Counter Strike: Source, or against HL2 AI in SMOD.

* Includes the SMOD Configuration Utility, which provides clear descriptions of game options, including difficulty, screen effects, health regeneration, weapon inventory and a choice of allies with no hand editing of files.

Running the game
CSS SCI FI has been fully integrated into the main SMOD chapter menu. To play a map, start SMOD and then select "New Game". In CSS SCI FI 2.0, you will find all 27 CSS SCI FI maps in the new game chapter menu, followed by the Half Life 2 single player campaign. If you wish to play a Half-Life 2 single player campaign chapter which starts at a different point in the story, please run the SMOD Configuration Utility and choose the option to switch to the original HL2 chapter menu.

In CSS SCI FI 1.5, the 15 scripted Counter-Strike: Source maps are located after the single player campaign chapters.

Frequently asked questions
1. Long initial loading times. This is normal and cannot be improved. Once the first map has loaded, subsequent loads will be faster.

2. It crashes/runs poorly. First, check Steam Support and the HL2 TweakGuide and ensure that you have performed all necessary maintenance to improve the performance of the game, including updating to the latest version of your graphics drivers. Most crashes relate to difficulties with system memory, so ensure you have plenty of RAM and that it is in good working order.
