Be sure to look through all the pages so you don't miss any mods from the GS community. As we know the ability to mod games is one of the great boons of PC gaming. To better inform the Gamespot PC community I felt the need to put together a list of Mods that are relevant to the Year 2009 (meaning, these mods are great even if they were released in the past or haven't been released yet). I will be sorting the Mods by engine. Feel free to add any mods I miss. I will try to keep this thread up to date with mods. This is a thread for the general public of PC gamers (I'm assuming most attentive PC gamers know of these mods and probably more mods than I'm listing). The idea is to provide a list of mods with a concise summary of the mod.An * means it is a mod that I have played. Refractor 2 (Battlefield 2/2142) Project Reality (latest version: 0.85)MP Just as it sounds, Project Reality is based around realism. With a steeper learning curve this mod will appeal to those who enjoy games like: Red Orchestra and Operation Flashpoint. The mod adds new factions, weapons, and vehicles to play. You can find more information at http://www.moddb.com/mods/project-reality, or at www.realitymod.com. Forgotten Hope 2 (latest version: 2.15)*MP Forgotten Hope 2 takes the battlefield series back to World War II. The mod has everything a WWII fan would love. Forgotten Hope 2 features more than 250 pieces of authentic equipment, and with more to come. For more information check out http://forgottenhope.filefront.com/main.php?mod=FH2&flash=no or http://www.moddb.com/mods/forgotten-hope-2 CryEngine 2 (Crysis/Warhead) MechWarrior: Living Legends (Unreleased)MP YES, relive the days of the mechwarrior franchise. This mod takes the cryengine2 and applies it to Mech Warfare. The mod features 32 player online, dynamic lighting as the battle continues (from morning to night), destructible environments, and 28 mechs. More information is available at http://www.moddb.com/mods/mechwarrior-living-legends. This was a short section because I haven't been paying too much attention to Crysis mods and with most being unreleased I have no idea what mods are being hyped the most. Source Engine (Half-Life2, etc) GoldenEye Source (Latest version: Beta 3.0.1) *MP In an attempt to bring back the nostalgic feeling from a decade ago a team of modders has brought GoldenEye Source. Based on the N64 version of GoldenEye the team has increased the scale of the multiplayer portion of the game. For more information visit http://www.moddb.com/mods/goldeneye-source or www.goldeneyesource.net. Black Mesa (Unreleased)SP,MP For those of you who don't know, Black Mesa is a mod that recreates the original Half-Life on the Source Engine. The mod features a Single player campaign and a Multiplayer deathmatch mode. Basically, all you need to know is that when this is released you'd better be downloading it. More information at http://www.moddb.com/mods/black-mesa or www.blackmesasource.com. Jailbreak (latest version: 0.4.1)*MP With a very large update on the way Jailbreak looks to be a promising mod (I would wait for the update to download). The mod features 2 teams faced with the goal of imprisoning the other team. The catch is that players can either be broken out of jail or can escape from jail via puzzles. Keep an eye out for this mod as it is set for 0.5 release soon. More information is available at http://www.moddb.com/mods/jailbreak or www.jailbreaksource.com. NeoTokyo (Unreleased) MP Taking place in Tokyo, 30 years in the future, this mod creates a world where humans have begun to bind with technology. From what I've gathered it seems to be a death match type of mod. Either way this mod looks promising. More information at www.moddb.com/mods/neotokyo or www.neotokyohq.com. Resistance and Liberation (Latest version: Alpha 4)* MP Resistance and Liberation bring realism to a WWII setting. The mod is based highly on squad communication and teamwork. Since it is an alpha there are bugs and optimization issues. The future release of this mod is very promising if you like realism. More information is available at http://www.moddb.com/mods/resistance-liberation or at www.reistanceandliberation.com. Fortress Forever (Latest Version: 2.3)* MPFortress Forever is a take on the original Team Fortress. It's basically a remake of Team Fortress for the source engine. It's great if you want to experience Team Fortress without having to purchase the Orange box or if you want the feeling of the old TF. Information is available at www.moddb.com/mods/fortress-forever or at www.fortress-forever.comBattlegrounds 2 (Latest Version: 1.2.1b)* MP Battlegrounds is a take on the American Revolution. Fight with the Rebellious colonist or with the Redcoats from Great Britain. Use swords, muskets, and bayonets to fight your way to victory. Information is available at http://www.moddb.com/mods/battle-grounds-2 or at Bgmod.comEmipres (Latest Version: 2.22)* MP Empires is a mod for Half-Life 2 which will combine the genres of real-time strategy and first person shooter. Each team has four ****s to choose from (scout, rifleman, grenadier, and engineer) with unique weapons and skills each. One player will become the commander by entering the team's command vehicle to build the team's base and lead his team to victory. Once your base is built up, purchase vehicles from your team's vehicle factory to open up another facet of Empires' gameplay. Vehicles can be customized with unique weapons, armor, and engines. The commander can research improvements to all aspects of vehicles such as longer range cannons, homing missiles, and armor-piercing machine gun rounds. Once your team is prepared, lead an assault into the enemy base. The enemy team is defeated when all players are wiped out with either no place to respawn or no reinforcements remaining or the team's command vehicle is destroyed. Information at http://www.moddb.com/mods/empires or www.empiresmod.comHalf-Life 2 Wars (Latest Version: 0.5)* SP,MPHL2:wars is an RTS based on the HL2 engine using the Source engine making it one of the best looking RTS games I've seen.

I am not sure if its been posted or not, but I have been playing an amazing Civilization 4 mod - Fall from Heaven 2 (kind of dark fantasy mod which is like a cross b/w Civ 4 and MoM) and it's prety good.
