In 1999 Sven Co-op shipped its first version 1.0 and while Fearon didn't expect it to be played by anyone besides him and his mates, the Half-Life community celebrated its release. When Valve's flagship sci-fi FPS Half-Life failed to ship with default cooperative support, Dan Fearon - otherwise known as Sven Viking - set about crafting his own co-op experience. A number of entertaining game modes, loyal player-base and cartoon-like aesthetic keep things fresh, though, all of which has helped MTA operate for more than a decade with little sign of slowing down. While also supporting 2002's GTA: Vice City, MTA's popularity was cemented by its support for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas - the game which Multi-Theft Auto is still based upon today.Īs Richard Moss explored in detail last year, Multi-Theft Auto - rather strangely - appears to be getting more popular with each passing year, even against the acclaim of Grand Theft Auto 5's far more sophisticated GTA: Online. Multi-Theft Auto began life as an online multiplayer component for 2001's Grand Theft Auto 3, then named GTA 3: Alternative Multiplayer. Arma 2's DayZ mod proved so popular that it went standalone in 2013. You'll spend long spells of DayZ hiding away away in the wilderness, safer, and all the better for it. Sure, the infected want nothing more than to tear you limb from limb and feast on your festering insides, but a heavy drought, harsh famine, and an ever-dwindling amount of resources means cohabiting hostile human survivors present as much danger as the mindless monsters do. DayZĪ child of Arma 2 and Arma 2: Operation Arrowhead, DayZ is a brutal post-apocalyptic zombie survival mod that's as much about isolation and solitude as it is about fighting hordes of the undead. Be it finely-tuned strategy or guns-blazing first-person shooting, and everything in between, you're sure to find something that tickles your modification fancies here. I've gathered my favourites below, including a number of honourable mentions after the core lineup, which cover a wide range of genres. Due to their often exceptional standard, pulling this list together was a daunting task. Total conversion mods are arguably the most impressive of this remarkable bunch. Be it superficial tweaks, or highly ambitious overhauls, the work of creative hobbyists is often wonderful - and anything which is capable of breathing new life into our most treasured games is surely worth celebrating. And if you've been following the best mods lists I've been compiling for RPS over the last several months, I dare say you feel somewhat the same.
