Come play Action Half-Life 2 with us, european redditors!
AHL2 is an awesome HL2 mod. Download it here. The server address is bocuma.net. It's hosted in Norway on a 10Mbit line, so don't expect an awesome ping unless you live somewhat close.
Edit: Here's a gameplay video

Holy crap action half-life 2?! I played ahl back 10 years ago and loved it (though the bots were cheap headshot bastards). I'll see about checking this one out.
Did anyone here ever play the specialists mod for hl1?
All just rip-offs of Action Quake 2!
I'm pretty stoked to know that there is an AHL2, though. The mod is still going!
The action half-life 2 community was pretty dead a month or two after one of the first releases when Specialist came out. I loved it. Wish they would make another game like it. It was the opera, but actually fun to play and without all the camera rolls. The One mod was specutatular.
The specialists was one of the best mods. I think one of the first with a bullet time in an fps.
*multiplayer FPS, you mean.
Yeah, the kung fu and bullettime/slo-mo were da bomb, and the bots were fun to play against too (on certain maps).
In any FPS in general, I don't remember another FPS before TS that did that.
May Payne (OK, it's a third-person shooter... but The Specialists was too, half the time!)
But you're right, The Specialists was the first and they definitely got it right. I certainly loved playing "The One Mode," and kung-fuing people to death with the bullettime. They literally can't react while I kick the gun out of their hands, punch them a few times while the gun flies through the air, catch the gun and kill them with it. So satisfying :)
