[B]What is [I]Headcrab Frenzy[/I]?[/B]
Headcrab Frenzy is a competitive coop mod for HL1. You do one think and one thing only : Kill the fuck out of headcrabs.
[B]How does it work?[/B]
Well, you're stuck in this isolated area, and headcrabs keep spawning. And spawning. And spawning. And spawning. And spawning. And spa- [I]anyway[/I]. Headcrabs will endlessly spawn in the area until you and your colleagues are all out of lives.
The game runs on a lives system if you couldn't already guess, giving you 5 lives to begin with. Every 40 kills you get gives you extra HP, and every 100 another life.
I'll just copy and paste the MODDB page to give you a better understanding :
[QUOTE=MODDB][B][B]GAME RULES[/B][/B]
[LIST]
[*]You start game with 5 lives. Every time you die, you may respawn, until your lives are zero. If they are, the game ends.
[*]When you kill 40 headcrabs, you gain extra health points.
[*]When you kill 100 headcrabs, you gain extra life.
[*]Your health is regenerating with the rate of 2 hp/sec.
[*]Maximum number of alive headcrabs increases over the time.
[*]Headcrabs' health and damage increases over the time also!
[*]Killing several headcrabs very fast results in a combo!
[*]Combo temporarily increases you crowbar's damage, the higher is combo - the longer is increase.
[*]When you kill headcrabs, you gain "frenzy". Combos give additional "frenzy" points.
[*]If your "frenzy" is full, you may activate it with reload key, and do 16x damage!
[*]First crowbar swing does full damage, subsequent do the half.
[*]Every minute your crowbar is slightly upgraded - it does more damage and "frenzy" mode lasts for a longer time.
[*]If you kill headcrab tracking you with anything but you crowbar, you get an extra score!

Did I mention there's a highscore system? Yes, apparently your score saves on the map, so you can show people who's the shit when you've got the highest score and your E-penis will be slightly bigger. You get more points the higher the difficulty you play. Naturally there are three difficulties. Easy, medium, and hard.
Now, the mod only has 3 different maps and 2 different gamemodes sadly. The first gamemode is [B]ladder. [/B]Ladder is pretty simple. Basically, after a certain amount of time, you'll be spawned a new headcrab type to fight, all the way until you spawn, at which case it'll go to [B]random.[/B] You can enable random at the start of the game if you don't feel like working your way up. It spawns each type at random instead of cumulatively.
There are a bunch of different types of these mother's to kill. You've got fire, ice, chemical, exploding, god damn you even headcrabs that explode into flames.
But wait, I think I'm forgetting something. Oh yeah! How would you manage to kill a headcrab with something other than your crowbar? Simple. Headcrabs are dumb. These guy's will follow you into the most retarded situations. The maps are equipped with elements to help you make that horde a little smaller. You've got lasers, extremely hot steam, even an opened elevator shaft. Don't think it's just for the headcrabs though, it can hurt you too!
On to the best part, [highlight]POWER UPS[/highlight]. The game has only 3 power ups, sure, but they're pretty good. Here's the description from the moddb page :
[QUOTE=Moddb]
[B][B][B]POWER-UPS[/B][/B][/B]
[LIST]
[*][B]Invulnerability [/B]- player is physically invulnerable for all damage types.
[*][B]Invisibility [/B]- headcrabs do not react to player.
[*][B]Regeneration [/B]- health regeneration is 3 times faster (6 hp/sec)
[/LIST]
Powerups last for 20 seconds. They respawn in 1 min plus-minus several seconds. There may be powerups of the certain type on maps, or a random powerup - it may be different on every respawn.[/QUOTE]
The MODDB page on high scores :
[QUOTE=MODDB] [B][B] HIGH SCORES[/B][/B]
High scores are stored individually for each map, game type and difficulty level (Easy, Medium, Hard)
[B][B]PUBLISHING RESULTS ON THE WEB[/B][/B]
Your multiplayer score is published on statistics server (only if you play on a public server, see below). Player is identified by either WON Id or Steam ID.
Statistics is available at:

[B]So what would make this mod so fun, doesn't it sound repetitive?[/B]
When you're playing coop, the shenanigans you guys can get into are hilarious. I'd imagine FP would prove this if we were to have a mass game.

HL:S came with my copy of HL2 I bought back in the day.
I'm having some errors starting a listen server, anyone else?
If I get this straightened out, tomorrow I'll host a 15 man game.
Chaos
In all honesty, that sounds incredibly boring.
Time to reinstall Half-Life 1. (Did a recent windows installation)
i bought game of the year edition of hl2 about 5 years ago, it came with hl:source
most amaizing game bundle in the world
