If you can think of something that doesn't quite fit the above criteria, but is otherwise highly relevant to the modding community aspect, you can mention it. I am planning to write something about computer games and their history, and modding and user-created content is something I would like to cover with a few good examples. I specify the ten-year age limit and ask for demonstration of current activity to limit the potential answers to a reasonable number. So, consider Half-Life and Half-Life 2 as noted already. I can show this by linking to a site called Planet Phillip that, in their own words, "lists and reviews single player maps and mods for the Half-Life series of games." Browsing the recent postings, you can easily see that several new releases came out in 2014 and they are rated and commented thoroughly. The Half-Life game series fits my criteria.
The games themselves can be open or closed source, free or commercial. Please include at least one link to a relevant web site in your answer.
Applicable answers should ideally be able to clearly name a particular game or game series, and definitely show that an active community exists with recently released and reviewed content. I'm not asking after open-ended game creation tools or communities dedicated to creating particular types of games with general-purpose programming languages. I'm after those with currently active communities producing new content, which can include new maps, gameplay modifications (mods) or other kinds of playable extensions to the content that originally shipped with the game. I'm interested in computer games with a bit of longevity in this question, so I am asking about games at least as old as Half-Life 2 (released in November 2004), namely ten years.
