CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired is a single-player modification for Source. Waking up to find himself an augmented clone of Gordon Freeman, the player must fight time-travelling Combine forces and other enemies across 42 unique and replayable missions.

Missions are set in 18 retail and 24 custom Counter-Strike: Source maps, which are installed intact to the player's CS:S game folder. The mod edits the entity data for each map as it is loaded, adding and modifying entities to create a seamless single-player experience. The maps remain unchanged and are fully playable in Counter-Strike: Source. Maps have been contributed by established designers, including Bluestrike, Schuzak and d00ds.com. Combat locations range from a snow-covered country church to a dense pine forest to a sun-baked tropical island.

Players enter each map through the mission hub and can choose to play each one at a time or all in 3 linked campaigns. In each mission, the player is given a series of objectives, such as to rescue hostages, find packages, defend allies or destroy targets, which must be completed to move on to the next map or return to the hub. Each time each mission is played, the behaviour and armament of enemies and the distribution of resources changes, so that no two plays are ever the same. In addition, maps contain hidden secrets and configurable extras which change the difficulty and parameters of each mission. Thus, CSS SCI FI combines non-linear map layouts with unpredictable enemies in a goal-driven structure to create an endlessly variable and replayable single-player experience.

Key features at a glance:

* Single-player.
* Requires only Counter-Strike: Source.
* Retains look and feel of Half-Life 2 while adding new weapons, enemies and abilities.
* Includes a custom mission hub, weapon test range and full configuration utility.
* Features 42 replayable non-linear missions, each with multiple goals and hidden secret weapons.
