Thread title speaks for itself.

I once bought a PC just to access SCMODS.  But in answer to your question, no.

Yes. Quake 3. I've actually never played the original game.

Half Life.
I couldn't have given a shit about the game itself but I loved counter strike.

Half-life, Silent Hunter III (and IV as soon as GWX 4 is out), Mount & Blade ...

It's surprising to me that most people so far have said half life and half life 2. I really liked the single player bits in both games. Two of my favourite FPS.

As for the thread topic. No, can't think of any. Only mod I spent a lot of time playing was Team Fortress Classic and that was downloaded automatically years ago with one the patches for Half Life, I had never heard of it before that.

The Barbarian Invasions add on for Rome, which I bought for the Arthurian mod, which I then found out was too hardcore for me and never played.

There are a couple of games that I only bought because they had been rescued by their modding communities (or so I'd read): Falcon 4.0 and Rowan's Battle of Britain.

No, but there's been plenty games where I end up playing exclusively mods - Mount and Blade, Paradox games, SEIV, and a few others.

not really, though I'm usually into trying a few when I hear of good ones.

Another member of the Half Life crowd.  I got it for Counterstrike and the original Day of Defeat.

Half-Life. Got it on a lark in '99 because I read an article in a magazine about Team Fortress Classic. Lucky for me, HL happened to be an awesome game in its own right.
And of course after TFC there was Counterstike and then Day of Defeat. I miss those old school beta versions.  :cry:

Heh the first copy of Half-life I played was actually pirated and printed on a CD!  I had no idea what it was.  I quickly bought it though.

The problem with mods is that I always have a hard time getting them to work.

San Andreas PC. Joining the ranks of those trying to add SA gameplay to III/LCS Liberty City. :blush:

Hmm, I bought BF2 for the game itself but especially for its WW2 mod, Forgotten Hope - I was dissapointed...
