New Gravity-Defying Half-Life 2 Mod Out After 2 Years In Development
Half-Life fans have had to learn to be patient, since Valve doesn't seem to be in a rush to revisit Half-Life any time soon. Fortunately, modders have unofficially kept the franchise alive. A new mod called Transmissions: Element 120 was recently released, showing what a single developer can do with two years and a whole lot of dedication.
Transmissions: Element 120 is set after the events of Half-Life 2: Episode 2. The single-player story includes new models, locations, and visual enhancements. Better yet, it includes a new gravity weapon that lets players dampen falls and jump great distances.
The best way to learn more about the free mod is probably by downloading it and playing it. You can do that at the mod's official site. Developer Shokunin000 is also trying to get enough votes to get it greenlit on Steam so that more players can find it and to make it easier to install.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
