  • Iron Grip: The Oppression - A first-person shooter/real-time strategy hybrid set within the fictional Iron Grip universe in a predominantly urban setting.

The gameplay involves "modules" that can be upgraded and used together in deadly combinations.[47]
  • Mario Kart Source - A Half-Life 2 mod which attempts to use the best features from each game in the Mario Kart series. It is not licensed by Nintendo[48] and has received criticism for its lack of originality.[49] The release date for this mod has yet to be announced.
  • Pirates, Vikings and Knights II - A mostly melee-based mod featuring three factions – Pirates, Vikings and Knights – and includes map objectives such as Deathmatch or Capture the Flag.
  • Plan of Attack - A multiplayer first-person shooter that highlights strategy, teamwork, and out-thinking the enemy. Last official release October 5, 2005.

  • Resistance and Liberation - A WW2 infantry simulation mod for HL2 that realistically portrays the events and actions taken by the 82nd Airborne during their stay in Normandy. RnL features include no hud, no crosshair and no death messages to create a highly immersed and team play orientated game play with real 3D voice chat that is range limited.
  • SourceForts - A capture-the-flag mod. Teams use gravity guns to build a fort out of given parts during the build phases, and assault the other team's fort during the combat phases.

Each side bears three classes- Rifleman, Machine Gunner, and Officer, with each possessing their own abilities and style of combat. The overall goal of each round is to capture all control points and/or deplete the enemy "morale bar". Released on February 21st, 2010.
  • Zombie Panic! Source - A team-based zombie themed mod which pits player-controlled survivors against player-controlled zombies. The gameplay style simulates an outbreak: The zombie team starts with only a few players, but their ranks grow as survivors are defeated and switch to the zombie team.
