System Wars is a one of a kind destination where gamers can discuss, rant, and debate about systems, platforms, handhelds and the games. Not many people survive System Wars. The mightiest system warriors back up their arguments with facts.
Rules are simple:
- Read the Terms of Use and System Wars Survival Guide.
- Must be Level 10 or higher to create topics.
- Keep your discussions around what belongs here: platforms, games, developers, publishers, and stats.
- Don't quote more than one image in your post.
- Do NOT post or bump extremely abusive discussions (adult material/illegal activities/illegal advertising/etc).

Biggest Loser: Chancellor for the PC Games Forum - PS3 Overlord.
He's the critic Gamespot deserves but not the one it needs right now.
And so we'll mod him, because he can take it. Because he's not a hero. He's a chancellor...

A lot of work went into it, its not perfect so it probably won't contend for the top prize, but maybe it should get some award.

PC: Intel Xeon X3350, 5GB DDR2-SDRAM, eVGA GeForce 560 Ti, Intel 320 40GB SSD
Console(s): PS3 Slim
It may be the biggest and most well-known mod to have come out in recent years, but I wouldn't count it in the GOTY running just yet.
And is the Steam version up yet? I thought it was Greenlighted a while ago.

It's amazing just how much nostalgia can cloud one's judgement. An old ass game with slightly updated graphics does not a 2012 GOTY make.

Nothing to do with nostalgia, just a fact that level design has gone much crappier in todays modern FPS. Black mesa is much better than most fps these days.
OT yes it should, its easyly GOTY material, dont see why not.

Actually ya know what? 2012 was a lousy year anyways so f*ck it. Go a head and hand the award over to some mod for a game that came out two decades ago. Who gives a crap.
