INVASION is a singleplayer modification of the famous game Half-Life. But a lot of innovations have been added. Among the most important new features, one can mention :
- 44 maps : 5 levels of about 10 maps each.
- 16 weapons, including 12 new ( infrared gun, flame thrower, sniper rifle ... )
- 2 new human enemies ( rocket launcher soldier and sniper ) and 2 new alien monsters.
- a tank that you can drive and make its turret rotate independantly from the chassis.
- a high definition bullet impact system, and particles blowing up from the walls on impact.
- an entirely renewed protective suit, with a member-per-member damage management, and the possibility to stock batteries and medkits for subsequent use.
- several gameplay innovations as digitpads use, or several kinds of ammo for the rocket launcher.
- subtitles available in French, English, Spanish and German.
The HL Invasion scenario starts at the end of Half-Life. Remember, you were in a train with the strange G-man ... Fortunately, scientists hidden in a subsidiary laboratory with Black Mesa manage to repatriate you there with a space probe, in which you jumped just before the G-man kills you. Once awoken, you discover this secret laboratory that the government forces haven't discovered yet. You are watching a teleportation experience, when suddenly overtrained marines invade this hiding place ... From this moment, you'll never be alone ... This new trip will lead you into subsidiary areas with Black Mesa where you'll get more revelations about the government objectives and the world of Xen ...
Made by Invasion team, credits to those guys.
Greetings hl1 mod fans.
I finally with great joy at heart can announce that Release 1 is finished and posted in the appropriate section. Now absolutely anyone can try out this modification.
Now moving on to what has been done in the mod compared to the original version of 2003. I will not list everything, full changelog will be on the page with the modification, as well as in the archive. So, the main differences in the mod:
Below are also some screenshots from the released version of the mod:









I would like to clarify one point, as stated in the previous news, Release 1 will do without English voice acting, because Dakashi did not finish it yet, but as he assured me that we have to wait a little longer, as soon as it will finish and send the files, I immediately release a patch, where in addition to fixes will be more and the voice acting.
After some time passes from the release of the mod, I'll publish a news story about Release 2, which will report further plans for the project.
I would also like to report that from now on, our team of mod developers, now has a name, namely: "Satchel Team". And perhaps in the future we will do another mod, only time will tell.
That's all. Stay tuned and love the mods on hl1!
Well, I think for some this news will come as a surprise, right?
Due to the oddities of how Invasion's installation works for a variety of people (that i can't really help to troubleshoot like some of the other Remod...

If I were to remake or remaster Half-Life: Invasion (whether for GoldSrc or Source), here are some of the the things I'd add/change that I can think of at the top of my head RN.
1. Rework some of the Weapons, give the Glock a Silencer like it was originally supposed to have in OG HL1, give the MP5 a Burst Fire Mode, add Alternate Ammo Types for the Shotgun and M4/M16 with Grenade Launcher, and rework the Experimental Super-weapon to be more unique and fun to use.
2. Add in more Alien Encounter, plus add in Aliens that were left out from this Mod for some reason (at least the Zombies and Alien Grunts in this regard), and rework how the 4 new Human and Alien Enemies behave/function so they're less aggravating for new players and those that'd play above Easy and Normal.
3. Add in a Final Boss Battle after the Element Laser Mirror Puzzle, I was thinking it'd be similar to the Guardian of Hell boss battle from Doom 3 and The Lost Mission, some big Dinosaur-sized Alien that guards the last specimen to ensure the invasion continues.
Well as of today, it looks like your wish has been granted! ;3
On the Steam version, the script with boxes does not work. At the end of the game, when you need to blow up the bottom of the container with dynamite, it does not break.
someone really needs to do an english voice acting cus this mod is the greatest
the stealth section with the turret and the camera is scummy as ****. the dev Let the player reach the end with the loud option.I got spotted but as I about to reach the loading screen into next map the game blew me up. Every single time, once i got pass that turret then boom. SHould have made it an insta fail if I got spotted. Now my save is stuck in a loop and I have to start the game a new.
I wanna play this mod in english So I can understand the story
Check my comment below, if you haven't figured it out yet.
Sorry but didn't worked
NEVERMIND It worked
The voice is in French . How do enable subtitles ?
To enable English subtitles make sure you have the 1.1 patch then look inside the Invasion folder; open the launcher folder and run the launcher.exe program and choose your language (In the WON(CD) version, this tool can also be launched from the main menu).
To manually change the language to English, rename titles_gb.txt to titles.txt and texts_gb.txt to texts.txt.
