Ricochet (2000), a futuristic action game that challenges your agility as well as your aim, features one-on-one and team matches played in a variety of futuristic battle arenas.

Ricochet was released as a free mod for Half-Life on on November 1, 2000, and was subsequently included in update 1.1.1.0 of Half-Life. When Valve ported its GoldSrc titles to Steam, Ricochet was changed to a paid product, with no major content update. Owners of retail copies of Half-Life that register their Half-Life CD key via Steam have been grandfathered in, receiving a Steam copy of Ricochet for free.

The source code for Ricochet can be found in the Half-Life SDK repository, in the ricochet subfolder. A fork of the HLSDK 2.4 version of Ricochet updated to properly compile with Visual Studio 2019 Community Edition can be found on GitHub. HLSDK 2.5 compiles with VS2019 natively.
