An Unreal Engine C++ plugin implementing Half-Life 2 / Source Engine style classic FPS character movement, including bunnyhopping, strafe boosting, surfing, and ramp sliding. It is developed by the Project Borealis team as part of their fan-made Half-Life 2: Episode 3 game.

Use cases

• add HL2-style bunnyhopping and air strafing to an Unreal Engine game
• implement Source engine movement mechanics like surfing and ramp sliding in UE4/UE5
• recreate classic FPS movement feel in Unreal Engine
• add smooth crouching and crouch jumping to a character movement component
• build a retro arena shooter with quake-style movement physics

When to choose

• you want authentic Half-Life 2 or Source engine movement quirks in Unreal Engine
• your project is C++-based on Unreal Engine 5.5 or willing to recompile the plugin
• you need proven classic FPS mechanics like strafe boosting and trimping out of the box

When to avoid

• your project is Blueprint-only, since packaging fails without a C++ project
• you use an older Unreal Engine version that may require code changes
• you need ladder movement or sprint logic fully implemented, as those are stubs
