I come to present to you Distraction mod, a Half-Life 2 action style mod much like The Specialists and Action Half-Life were for Half-Life, except better. A list of planned features can be found on the site, as well as some media. Forums are buzzing and I wouldn't be here today announcing our mod if progress wasn't being done. Distraction will feature 3rd person martial arts, mixed akimbo, an arsenal of stunts, a heavy degree of weapon customizations and several amazing maps. We are still looking for people to join our team; more info can be found on our site by clicking "Join". So check us out at and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
I was really disappointed with this mod. They said that it was based on The Specialists (I was a huge fan of it back in the day) and Action Half-Life.
I downloaded it expecting one of the two, or even a blend of style. - It wasn't anywhere near what I expected.
There are tons of glitches, (laying down and running faster than if you were just running, and still able to fight so players cant see you well), etc. as well as some spots where you can ALMOST glitch out of the map, but it provides really unfair sniping spots.
The super jump and sliding was really cool that it was actually able to be implemented but really, really buggy.
The game itself was mediocre (AT BEST) compared to The Specialists and AHL... As a mod itself, I would give it a 6... Maybe.
I'd suggest finding a new mod though rather than trying this one (sorry, guys.) - It just has no servers, tons of glitches, and unbalanced gameplay.
