The Half-Life Mod That Makes Kinect Users Jealous



Use a computer camera to tilt and lean around corners in levels from Half-Life 2 and Episodes 1 and 2.

PhD student and YouTube user torbensko has developed a game called FaceOff Paintball, which allows users to lean around corners in the virtual world by tilting their head. The video does a better job explaining it that we can. Check out the Half-Life levels below.

  • Sorry, no. That seems WAY to disorienting for me.
  • seems clever. i wonder what sort of things cameras will do in the future for video games. grenade throwing? bob ur head to jump?
  • Wow talk about another useless article about motion gaming. Thanks Wii you managed to take the fun out of gaming with your crappy sensors and now everyone is wasting thier time trying to make motion gaming anything but a fad.
  • Big deal, Arma has been doing this for years

  • Pretty cool. Not my kind of thing, but cool neitherless.
  • I can see this as an optional gimmick in HL3(just use the PSEye or Kinect and you can substitute using a cover button!). Joking aside, this is pretty cool, very clever.
  • If they implemented that in every FPS, I would actually be sold on the Kinect. Not only is that functional and practical, it's also a bucketful of awesome.
  • not bad!

  • take that kinect, we have better graphics too
  • Let's get these guys developing for kinect we might get something good!
  • not bad :P ahaha Microsoft ur suppose to have all these features alreayd not letting people discovered it and then copy it :s
  • I'd rather see more touches like this that augment controls in hardcore games than having control schemes that are all-or-nothing in the motion control department

  • that is really *** cool downloading now haha...... i bet if it was activision developing this it would have a 15 dll tag haha.

  • The video does a better job of grammar checking too. You guys are really getting lax on the ol' proofreading over there.

  • I seen this years ago on Modb.com.  These guys are really good at what they do, definitely different from anything I've seen outside of kinect.  

  • Getting it now.

  • That's pretty awesome!

  • I do that on the first level of CoD4,and part of a Killzone 3 map anyway.
  • its different but i think this will go far like the kinect wish i had a facebook

  • It looks like Half Life Time Crisis. Except you can walk freely
