<font color="#666666">Half Life 2: Critical Mass will be a brand new mod for the world to discover. This mod will pretty much be, in a way, connected to the first Half-Life...Reason being that you, Logan Bowes, Are in fact a Black Op. If you dont remember, you encounter these 'Black Op' female and male soldiers in Half-Life, Blue Shift, and Opposing Force.

"Check it out!" I recall Michael saying as he showed me a basic story and map for Critical Mass. I was literally stunned at the insane amount of detail and customization he put into this little map.

Back in mid 2007, I had a simple idea for a mod. I sent Michael a message on steam and he was up to it. We put our ideas together and here we are today. Michael in his room making a map, me writing this and making websites. Although the idea for this mod was thought up over a year ago, only recently have we devoted ourselves to really making an effort on this mod. Man is it cool.
The mod started in the year 2000(for Goldsource at the time). An entire short novel was written years ago and has undergone polishing ever since. Once the story was established, a version was adapted for a video game. Production resumed in November 2008, and was suspended January of 2009. All work is backed up and eventual resumption is intended. The official website has more history information in the 'Story' section.
