This is a dead release.

Half-Life Faction is a Red Faction mod started by Spikey in 2006. I (Goober) joined the team shortly after, and the project was in off-and-on development until late 2008.

The mod was to begin identically to Half-Life, but take Gordon Freeman down a different path after the resonance cascade. The Black Mesa Hazard course was to be fully reconstructed as well.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is a dead release. It is not functional "out of the box", and you will have to manually load levels from the console. (e.g. level L0001) If you have any questions or run into issues, drop by the community Discord (RFChat.com) and we'll give you a hand.

I've included some interesting level names below that you may want to have a look at. This is NOT a complete list. You may want to explore the vpp files and see what you can find.
