Violent Memories
From Valve Developer Community
Violent Memories is a Half-Life 2 mod that does not make any/many changes to the original code or models, but poses a whole new singleplayer experience. VM' will instead focus on an almost altered gameplay style. In VM, you play as a spy for the resistance in c17, but there is a catch: the game starts with your death. When the game starts, you quickly assume a very climactic battle with the Combine, and then the most anticlimacting thing happens, the character is killed with poisonous gas.
In the final moments of his brains functioning, our hero flashes back his life in extreme detail, but you cut in when he remembers what exactly led to his death. For more story info, see the website.
The main character will be a kind of a combination 007-Mission Impossible spy, but here to, is a catch: you don't have any gadjets at your disposal. But, don't be discouraged, for the world is your gadjet! Most anything can be made a kind of convenience some way. You see a barrel or two and a piece of plywood and think "useless", If see the same I think "hmm, if I stack these barrels and use the plywood so I can get on top, I can reach that ledge (which has hidden ammo, surprise!).
You can also decide to go through guns riddeling bullets into everything, or go in quiet, and leave unnoticed. Thats one of the good things about the mod. Its like Burger Kings motto, "have it your way", you can choose a lot. At one point, the mod will let the player choose between sticking with the resistance and joining the combine... oooo, moral dillema-y. Choose objectives, assassinate him or steal experimental weapon?
