AHL is an old classic based on an even older classic... if you get my meaning.
Basically, I thought it was fun, but then, the only way you'll know if you do is to play it. And since it's free, that ain't a problem! <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
ok the games good, not very popular any more, the beset thing is ahl rp <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> roleplay get thje maps at www.lgbr.tk
AHL is amazing, it's probably the best deathmatch mod for HL and it's stylish, very much so, the particle effects are amazing, the dive anims and phsyics are great, it has some amazing maps, the themes for all the different maps really give it atmosphere and in plain DM it has loads and LOADS of models/skins to choose from.
In short it's nothing but a great deathmatch mod, the weapons are balanced to perfection, I don't know anywhere else that balances dual pistols a sniper rifle an mp5 an M4 and various shotguns.
i play ahl every so often and yes, it is the best deathmatch mod for hl hands down. i say if you're a fan of action movies or aq2 or just want a change, go get it! in fact the next beta (beta 6) is coming out very soon... <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
AHL... now there's an experience that was short lived.
I dinnae really like it... Mainly because I'm more of a Opera fan myself. But anyone who likes AHL should try Desert Crisis. ^^;;
Desert Crisis r0xx0rz, but I won't go into detail and throw this thing OT.
edit: and what the heck is this 'Varoom' aboot anyways? <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->
hmmm i'd like to enjoy the opera i really would. if only it weren't for the constant random crashing and system lockups whenever i try to play. meh, here's to the next release being much more stable.
and i havne't tried out desert crisis yet (mostly cos of a big dl). i hear its got akimbo weapons in that too. it has to be good then! <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->
Desert crisis is like a futuristic mod, a modern mod, a teamplay objectives mod, a weapons mod and a stunts mod all mashed together. It doesn't really work as anything but straight DM.
wtf are you talking about? DC doesn't even have deathmatch, its teamplay only. at least that's all we ever did in every single playtest. we tried DM once but it was screwed up so it was removed. perhaps it got added back in... DC is kinda a niche game in that most people won't like it, but those that do really love it. its also a game you hate at first but then grow to like.
while in the past AHL's reach was more generalized I feel that it too is now a niche mod, with only a small percentage of people being attracted to it. Personally, I feel that beta3 and 4 were the best versions. I don't like 5 one bit. Its just too.. un-ahl-like...
can't comment on the opera as i've yet to ever get it to run :P
Opera was fun for the 2 hours i played it. Then I realized I sucked vs the large ammount of people playing since the first release, I'd get owned, and go back to AHL.
Now that AHL finally work on my system (who-da thought disabling C-D would let you play?) I play that and... *GASP* C-Strike.
I know, I know, but since I'm so good at it, I Own people. And then point and laugh at them as they wait helplessly for 2 minutes <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
here are mods i've "touched" (as so many of you have described, though not like a virgin for the very first time)
- ahl (doombank + beta tester) - flf (beta testing coordinator, misc bs; flf_village, and work on other maps like flf_lombardi and flf_bridge) - dc (dc_armstech + beta tester) - polyfighter (early beta tester) - ns (beta tester + creaming my shorts)
as well as a few other projects that never got off the ground, such as my Street Fighter mod (even had official permission from capcom and a ryu model done) and uhh.. something else, i can't remember.
Action half-life was a excellent game for a couple of days until it became a piece of junk, and I know oonger decided to play it. If you like games like that try it, but it might become boring and dum after you have played it a couple of times.

Anyway, it's fun, stylish, but at it's core it's still DM.

However, I love Opera so much more. It just has more style then AHL and the score system is based on that style - instead of who gets the most kills.
Sure, it has bugs - but so what, its still hella fun.

A AHL type MOD. Looks pretty good actually. They're working on the site, but they have some good shots in their forums.
