A new update has been released for another one of Half-Life 2‘s mods, this time from Smashball. You can get it now via Steam, and you’ll find that it does offer some major changes to the gameplay.

 

Some of the included tweaks would be the instant replay feature, as well as the two new maps. But am sure you’d like to have the full list of changes, so here goes:

 

BIG GAMEPLAY CHANGES

We’ve made combat a lot more important. Now you have time to pound the other team into hamburger while you try to score.

• Increased weapon damage.
• Changed fumbles, knockouts to be almost entirely dependent on health; not as random as before.
• Scaled down all map sizes and player speeds to reduce the effectiveness of fast breaks.

 

NEW FEATURES

• Instant replay shows a slow-motion replay of the last few seconds of play when a score is made.
• Two new maps: Cargo Bay Six and Spiral are now open for ball-smashing!

 

 

Go on! Enjoy the “meaty fruits of their labor.” You can download it via the Steam link below.
