Free MMO modification software bundle

Underhell Mod is a free downloadable software bundle that is intended to be used in conjunction with the original Half-Life 2 game. This modification provides various upgrades and a host of UX improvements.

The Underhell Mod was originally released as far back as 2011, and since this time, developers have continued to offer upgrades. Note that this bundle contains Underhell Chapter One, plus an improved remake of the prologue.

A classic Source Engine mod

Due to the age of this software, it was originally meant to be used with Source Engine. Therefore, users will first need to have SDK Base 2007 already installed, but no additional sources or games will be required.

An immersive first chapter

One interesting feature of the Underhell Mod is that the domain players can experience is actually larger and more immersive than the original Half-Life 2 bundle. This should attract users who are already keen to delve deeper into the entire series.

Numerous user-friendly fixes and software patches

The main purpose of this mod was to address various glitches that might have otherwise occurred in the original platform. For instance, users can now rescue all survivors on the first level. and the number of enemies found in challenging areas has been reduced.

A timeless mod for die-hard Half-Life fans

While offering a host of functional upgrades, Underhell has kept the same retro appeal that continues to attract Half-Life players. The fact that users will not need to install any additional source games is a nice added bonus, which few MMO mods currently offer.
