Threewave: Valve’s lost Half-Life multiplayer mod is now playable

Forget about Overwatch. Today has suddenly become a good time to play the original Half-Life.

YouTube Channel Valve News Network has restored a lost mod created by Valve itself for Half-Life, the monumental first-person shooter from 1998. It’s called Threewave, an updated version of one of the oldest FPS mods ever. Threewave was originally released for Quake, which helped to popularize the modding scene back in 1996. Threewave was one of the first multiplayer shooter experiences to feature “capture the flag” as the main objective.
