Half Life 2 - Firearms: Source.

Firearms: Source is a modification for Half-Life 2, and a direct sequel to the GoldSrc version for Half-Life, Firearms, hence the name. Like the previous, it stars two teams fighting each other with a vast array of fire-power.

The mod emphasizes the accurate depiction of real-life firearms, not only graphical, but also in behaviour. Strangely enough, the mod does not include ironsights, it relies in the use of crosshairs instead. Also, there is no animation for when the player changes the fire rate of a weapon (as there was in Call of Duty), the 3D models being stuck in one of them. Not to mention the finger being kept constantly on the trigger.

Reloading a weapon when the magazine has not been emptied will make the player store it for later use. Inserting a fresh magazine in a weapon already chambered will grant the player one additional round, in the weapons that allow this. Finally, bleeding wounds must be bandaged to stop health loss.

The mod is still very young and many changes are expected in the course of the next updates. For more info, just head to the official website.

The following weapons are used in the online multiplayer game Firearms: Source.

Overview

Here follows an overview of the equipment that can be found in the latest release (1.0f). The player starts with 100 credits that can be invested in a variety of firearms or gear, like body armor and NVG. The list is ordered by credit cost.

The cheapest firearm of the game, the Colt M1911A1, appears selected. In this mod, we are not offered any real information like the manufacturer, caliber, ammo capacity, muzzle velocity or weight. Instead, statistic bars are used, like in fighting games.

+The [[M18A1 Claymore]], a remotely-detonated, directional, anti-personnel explosive device that can be used for setting some good ambushes. It costs 13 credits as is named plainly "Claymore" ingame. There are a couple of ways to control how it goes off. The first one is just to wait near the spot and hit the clicker when an enemy comes in front of it. The second one is the trip mode, in which the Claymore will be detonated when someone walks over it. By crouching or going prone, you can pass through the mine with out detonation.

Throwing one will produce a blinding flash and a deafening sound that will render enemies defenceless for some seconds, enough to finish them. Just be careful not to look towards it as it goes off.
