The Opera

[Crowbar]

Long ago, several versions of CS ago, a small team began work on another Half Life mod. It was called The Opera. I played several versions of it, all of them entertaining, the newest was quite good, by mod standards. The team is still around and are working on The Opera R2 (release 2). The concept is the same as the original release, but they've moved from using Half Life's engine to doing the mod for Unreal Tournament 2003. They pushed the Half Life engine for all it was worth (the only mod I know of where the characters had trench coats that flapped around when they dove and rolled) and found it lacking.

I saw in the foreign movie thread that some of you like Jon Woo style stuff, well this mod's goal is to re-create those movies in a game. I don't know how many servers are still out there for release one, but it's definatly worth your time to download and try.

Sounds like a cool mod. Another one that sounds similar is "Max Payne: Kung Fu Edition"

That sounds like a better version of Action HL.

I did lose my copy actually...but it was one I downloaded for free. I can get another one if I ever want it.
