Met een hoop praat over de geschiedenis achter de MODs heeft 3DActionPlanet weer een mooie gelegenheid gevonden om 3 nieuwe mods te introduceren. En om niemand voor het hoofd te stoten, zijn verschillende mods voor Half-Life, Quake3 en Unreal Tournament.

Oh, sure, they might play it a few times to see if they could beat their previous score -- if the game actually DID keep a score -- but for the most part, games weren't so much extendable as slightly replayable.

The ability to modify a game became so integral that games released without that ability these days often get a raised-eyebrow reaction from the gaming community.
