| '''CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired''' is a single-player modification for {{Source|3.1}}. Waking up to find himself an augmented clone of [[Gordon Freeman]], the player must fight time-travelling [[Combine]] forces and other enemies across 42 unique and replayable missions.

| Missions in CSS SCI FI are set in 18 retail and 24 custom Counter-Strike: Source maps, which are installed intact to the player's CS:S game folder. The mod edits the entity data for each map as it is loaded, adding and modifying entities to create a seamless single-player experience. The maps remain unchanged and are fully playable in Counter-Strike: Source. Maps have been contributed by established designers, including Bluestrike, Schuzak and d00ds.com. Combat locations range from a snow-covered country church to a dense pine forest to a sun-baked tropical island.
| |
| | |
| Players enter each map through the mission hub and can choose to play each one at a time or all in 3 linked campaigns. Each mission features a series of goals, such as to rescue hostages or destroy targets, which must be completed to move on to the next map or return to the hub. There are multiple approaches to each goal, and in each map the behaviour and armament of enemies and the distribution of resources are randomly determined within defined parameters. Thus, no two plays are the same, making CSS SCI FI a truly replayable single-player experience.

| == Configuration ==
| |
| The CSS SCI FI Configuration Utility is included in the mod installation. This program allows users to select and install 48 different game options, each of which may affect the difficulty, graphics, enhancements or gameplay of CSS SCI FI. These options are independent of Half-Life 2's standard in-game graphics and difficulty settings, and can be selected in any desired combination. After the Configuration Utility has been run, players do not need to run it again until they want to change a setting.
| |
| | |
| The Configuration Utility can be run at any time that the game itself is not running, and can be accessed using the launcher from the desktop or from the mod directory located at SourceMods/CSS SCI FI. For more about the CSS SCI FI Configuration Utility, please see the [http://www.amphibian.myzen.co.uk/css_sci_fi_config/ CSS SCI FI Configuration Reference Manual].
