Cold Ice Remastered mod for Half-Life

Cold Ice Remastered is like Jabroni Brawl: Episode 3 for GoldSrc but much older and... cool. (Yes, it supports normal model skins too). This project is a modern open-sourced rebuild of Cold Ice 1.75, a popular Half-Life mod back in 1999. Set in a winter scene, its philosophy is to deliver a deathmatch that doesn't take itself seriously. Cold Ice is known to generate laughs in questionable game design and in play.
