Action Half-Life is a mod for the award-winning first-person shooter computer game Half-Life. It strives to simulate action movies, especially those directed by John Woo. It was developed by the 'A-Team', led by Dwayne 'Oddjob' Douglass. It has had several lead programmers, but Stuart 'Payback' Crouch is the current one. Action Half -Life had several beta versions before being released as version 1.0.
Action HL has several rare features. First, it has a stunt system similar to the one found in Max Payne. Note, Action beta 3.0 had these stunts long before Max Payne was released. It was also the first Half-Life mod to feature akimbo pistols. Furthermore, it pioneered several graphic enhancements to the Half-Life engine, including the visible laser sight and wall debris. In addition to the usual Deathmatch and Team vs Team, it also has a round based game-mode called "Last Man Standing" which can be described as either Deathmatch without respawing or Teamplay with everyone on their own team. Note, Unreal Tournament also has a game-mode called "Last Man Standing", but normally the players are able to respawn a few times. UT LMS with only one life would be equivalent to AHL LMS.
Also, unlike other mods, it has support for single player mod. In it, the player can execute an Adrenaline Rush mode, which is basically Bullet Time.
