I have absolutely no idea how to do that.

I see a bunch of guys used the Source engine to build a game called 
Dystopia. It's set in a dystopian future and features gameplay that 
alternates between the real world and a Tron-like "cyberspace". It's a 
slightly naff game, but far better than anything I could have built!

More recently another group of people used Source to build a very 
different game called Insurgency. This is your hyper-realistic US 
Marines vs Iraqi insurgents battlefield game. And when I say 
hyper-realistic, there is no crosshair on the screen. You walk at about 
1.5 MPH. It's almost impossible to know what's going on. And as soon as 
you get near a combat zone, you instantly drop dead due to a single 
sniper bullet. (In other words, it is absolutely no fun at all, just 
like a real war.)

Yet another group of people are working on a complete conversion of the 
original Halflife game. (Although the initial artwork - which impressive 
- deviates too far from the original for my liking.)

I have absolutely no idea how in the game of God any of this is 
possible. But people have done it, so it *must* be possible...
