'''''Action: Source''''' is a standalone Source Engine version of the 2002 ''[[Half-Life]]'' mod, '''''Action Half-Life''''' and is inspired by action movies like ''[[Die Hard]]'' and ''[[A Better Tomorrow]]''. It is a part of the ''Action'' mod series by the same developers along with '''''AQtion''''' and '''''Action-Quake 2'''''. The game emphasizes "Movie Realism" by allowing players to dodge-roll, dolphin dive, and bunny-hop along with the ability to kick and bandage themselves up instantly, paired with deadly combat and fairly realistic weapons handling. The game features a rather realistic ammo system where remaining ammo in the magazine is lost during tactical reloads. | |||
