Resident Evil: Cold Blood

After doing some searching on the forums, I didn't find a topic on it. Neither did I find it in the Resident Evil Wikia. Don't know if anyone here has heard of it, so I decided to post a topic about it.


"Running. It feels like it's the only thing you've ever done. Run. Ran. Fled. But who could blame you? It started with the flu, or some sort of strange cold. That shit doesn't matter now. What matters is the fact that zombies, and strange monsters, and god knows WHAT else are out there. Better yet, they're right behind you. Kill them? Fat chance. The only gun you've seen in a good amount of time ran out of ammo hours ago, and that rusty old pipe in your hands doesn't look like any zombie killer you've ever seen. Finally, you see something that looks safe. Its an old Inn, the kind you'd see on the side of the road while driving down an interstate. You seem to have traveled from the city a bit, and the door to the main building is open. As you draw closer, and closer, it shuts! Suddenly, the entire situation seems ten times worse. From all around, zombies are swarming over you..."


Resident Evil: Cold Blood is a multiplayer/singleplayer modification for the game Half-Life 1. Of course, it runs off of HL1, and I believe it uses the Goldsrc game engine. It's only platform is for PC, and is developed by the RE:CB Team. It has been updated since I last played back in '07, but it is a FPS. It captures a lot of mechanics you'd find in any horror game, and I'd say is a pretty difficult game regardless if you're playing on multi or singleplayer. If I remember correctly, it is not based on the story at all. I believe it just uses characters, and creatures from the Resident Evil series. E.g, lickers, tyrant, nemesis, leon, hunk, claire, barry, etc. I recall it's also random maps with some story behind them, and you try to escape alive from the map either alone or with your comrades.



Since I cannot post links or emails, utilize Google to your advantage if curious. You can find the mod for HL1 on ModDB under "Resident Evil: Cold Blood". As for videos and media, I'd refer to YouTube or Google Images, whichever you feel more comfortable using.

I've just watched a vid on youtube and it looks good. The hunters are way too easy to kill though.
But I don't have HL1 anymore.

I don't know about the hunters being too easy, haven't played in forever. Might REDL it tonight when I get the chance. And yes, the game is very fun from what I can recall. My brother and I would have a blast. And Dark Biohazard? Never heard of it, looks like I have something to look up.

The guy in the video killed the hunter with 4 pistol shots.

Oh, well then, may just be a tad bit too easy.

Looks pretty interesting, but also difficult. Saw a crap load of zombies and crows in the trailers.

Just re-installed Cold Blood not too long ago.
The game is dead, and I just lost. Absolutely no one plays it on multiplayer anymore, quite a shame.

Also, unless you are running Win XP or 98, you're going to have a few problems. It does not work well with Vista or 7 since it's based off of an engine that is so old.
Even after running a fix for 7, I still experienced a few problems. The rain in the game makes you choppy, the flash-light generates choppiness, and it'll crash after 30 - 45 minutes of game play.

If you run Vista or 7 and are still curious to play, here's the fix.

1) Find hl.exe in your Steam Apps folder.
2) Right click on hl.exe, and run it in compatibility mode for Win 98.
3) Start the game.
4) Once you get in-game, select "Create A Game", and select "crimson_mansion" as the map you wish to play.
5) Click "Start Game".

Once the game starts up, you should be able to exit that map, and play on anyone you wish to play on. Unless you have a LAN partner, crimson games are useless as you need two players to play on a crimson game. Also, crimson means you fight your comrade who becomes a crimson head like off of RE1.

Checked a few gameplay videos on YouTube. It looks like a mix between Nightmare House 2 (also a HL mod) and Resident Evil Memory (thanks to ace for bringing this game to my attention!).

I've played Nightmare House before, that game scared the crap 'outta me at some points.
Also, I just checked out RE: Memory on YouTube, and it looks tough as hell. A lot of people say that it's really dark in that game.


ALSO: Just DL'ed Zombie Panic: Source on Steam. So, if anyone has Steam, and that game, hit me up.

Snake made an LP of Nightmare House 2.

What's an LP?

OOOOHHHH! Those're entertaining to watch, lol. Seeing the player get scared and what not.

Snake (psychadelicsnake) is the best LPer I know, he's pretty famous.

Here is a link to a thread I made about him.
