So way back when I was a ni?o, I played this mod:

Allow me to boldly announce that this mod will offer you unlimited gameplay time, if you don't quit prematurely. How does it do that? Keep reading to find out.

Like all excellent mods, this one also features custom content, including weapon and monster model replacements. In this mod you will take up a sniper rifle with the slowest projectile speed in the history of sniper rifles. You will be chased by dawgs, but not the huskies from They Hunger (Almighty knows how many times that model was stolen.)

This mod takes place in a darkly city controlled by soldiers. They will have all sorts of dangerous munitions pointed in your direction, including a setpiece featuring around 20 grunts surrounding a rocket launcher, if I remember correctly. In addition to soldiers, civilians in cars also want to turn you into roadkill. You have to do the Frogger and cross the highway without getting popped like some cane toad. Interesting, isn't it?

You will be attacked by people in bathroom cubicles. Don't ask me about this.

You make a way through an office building not unlike Night at the Office, but the mapping is much less impressive. I personally thought that texture choices were of really poor taste. In addition the stairs are very, very dangerous. It will make Xen look like World 1-1 of Mario World.

This mod binds the T key to a cheat, because as we all know graffiti is kinda useless. The mappers knew in the bottom of their hearts that cheating is a necessary component to completing the mod. But you can change the key bind if you feel that you can defeat the mod without cheating. Your call.

The biggest merit of this mod is the amount of theoretical hours of gameplay it offers. This mod offers a never-ending story that doesn't have an ending. Endless mod is endless. This is because after you get through the last map (a forest-ish place) you will end up back at the first map (the city) and can continue completing the mission that you already completed. If there is a mission at all. But let me tell you a story of my youth.
