Many PC games come with numerous fan-made mods out there that add things to the game that the developers couldn't. So, Dakka-ites, what are your favorite mods and maps for the games you play?

My favorites are the various Dawn of War mods for 40k. I'm currently having a blast playing with the ultra-cheesy Tau Expansion mod, as well as the Inquisition Daemonhunt (Though the Inquisition are not an easy faction to play, having no real defenses other than massed Stormtroopers until you get to Grey Knights). Outside of DoW, I'm also greatly enjoying two fantastic Portal map packs - Portal: Prelude and Portal: Flash Edition.

The Custom Edition add-on for Halo: Combat Evolved.

Medival total war 2 The Third Age, Love the Tolkien eperience in a total war setting, I love to play as Rhun or Silvan Elfs

C&C 3: slowed is lots of fun, though it breaks alot of missions and it makes the computer more powerful than I like in Skirmish.

Obviously there are the now-commercial mods (CS and Gerry's Mod) which are great. Personally I just want my bloody Black Mesa: Source. want...so bad...

Also, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (jeez that is a pain to write) has some great graphics update mods...if you have a pimipin GFX card...

I don't remember the name of the mod but it was for either Doom 1 or 2... I forget which one... it replaced elements in the game with USMC elements... it mostly was just sounds and sprites changed out but it seemed to make the game more fun for some reason.

2nd to that was another Doom mod that replaced sprites and some sound files again for some more 'extreme' things... like 'Wolverine' claws instead of the chainsaw

Actually... do they count as favorite if they're they only mods I've tried?

Action Half-Life, SvenCoop, Firearms, the Opera, They Hunger and so on. Ah, good times with Half-Life.

Day of Defeat 3.1. (Half-Life)

I used a lot of Sims, Sims 2 and Sims 3 mods... not sure if they count though.

Yes.

DoD was good until they went commercial.

Garrys mod.

Overloading a watermelon with Dakka since 1999.

Frazzled.

Wait, what?

The fallout 3 Legion of the damed mod

i use so much dawn of war, bf 2142 and GTA San andreas mods that i cant tell you all

Anybody else use Firestorm over Kronus? I love that one. So much detail went into it. Only problem I had was that I only really know the Tau and Space Marine codices (And I could probably bumble my way through the Chaos codex).
