Half-Life 2 mod lets Gordon Freeman outwit enemies like Mario

In anticipation of the perhaps yet to be released Half-Life 3, fans can already kill time with a new mod of Half-Life 2. In it it is possible to have protagonist Gordon Freeman take out enemies completely Mario-style by pressing their head jump.

The so-called Mobility Mod for Half-Life 2 gives Gordon Freeman new powers, including the ability to pounce and fall on enemies by landing on their heads. Exploding bullets are also part of the arsenal that Freeman has at his disposal. The makers of the mod have also clearly been inspired by the game Titanfall 2, given the possibility to perform powerslides, wall-dashes and double-jumps, for example.

The makers report that they will likely publish the mod’s source code sometime in the future, and that Episode 1 and 2 will also receive support in the long run. The developers have no plans to add a multiplayer option to the mod; they refer players to Titanfall 2’s “excellent multiplayer” for that.
