I've got to say that I'm really excited lately whenever I see a mod update for HL2. A few mods out there are really starting to look really promising.
First, I'd like to start off with Hostile Planet.
This mod has really caught my attention ever since a friend of mine linked me to it. Its a RPG / FPS Combination-type of game. Think Deus Ex. Except multiplayer, rather than single player based.
http://www.hostile-planet.com/
Next up is a mod called Caliber, which is apparently about a futuristic war between several vampire factions battling for dominance. The art direction from what I can telll is pretty interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing more media relleases from them.

I'm pretty sure a lot of you have seen Plan of attack, its a mod set in a urban war where Russia, china, and a few other countries invade the United states.
It seems like its going to have a lot of strategy and teamwork involved to it.
They're also going to have a public beta next friday.
Maybe we can arrange some sort of big massassi game for it. Giving us all here a chance to see what its like and have some fun.

Goldeneye or Perfect dark fan?
Theres already mods for both of those remaking the game for HL2. They're looking really promising aswell.

Another mod thats had a media update recently is the Hoplites mod. I'm really interested in seeing how they're going to pull of an Ancient warfare mod like that.

(another greek warfare mod: http://www.troymod.com/ )
You've probably heard of Dystopia, a cyber-punk mod for HL2 which is starting to look pretty promising.

Same sort of deal as the all weapons mod.
Unfortunatly the site is down.
Its fairly interesting though so when its back up, check it out
Playable stuffs:
I haven't tried it yet but theres been a few beta relleases of The all weapons mod http://hl2.siosphere.com/
Which is going to be bringing the weapons that were cut from HL2 and also some new ones into HL2DM.
SourceForts

This is a pretty fun mod. Its based on the CTF concept but you have to build / barricade your base. Sort of think like Garry's mod. Kinda hard to describe but its really fun.
Half-life 2 Capture the flag mod
http://www.hl2ctf.com/
Pretty much just what it says, Capture the flag. Untried so I can't tell you if its any good or not. Looks pretty cool though.
Tim Co-op
[url]www.rawmeat.be/timcoop/[/url]
A fun mod to play with friends but sadly the levels are lacking and the mod itself is lacking a lot of levels.
Fun to play a few times. But I'd recommend waiting for some new maps.
(as a note, they're not ripping off Sven co-op, this mod was just made to give people some coop action untill that comes out)
Strider-mod Deathmatch
http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/HalfLife_2_Strider_Mod_031_Helicopter_Strikes_Back;39293
APC, Striders, and Helicopters. What more could you want?
The Hidden: Source
http://www.hidden-source.com/
Haven't tried it, looks like it could be interesting. They just rellease a gameplay taster recently.
Other interesting mods or levels:
Anime Girl Catfight Tournament
http://agct.modnmod.com/index.php?page=home
Yes. You heard me right.
Pirates, Vikings, and Knights II
http://www.pvkii.com/
no idea, really. I just randomly found this.
Leon's SP Map pack
http://halflife2.filefront.com/file/HalfLife_2_Leons_SP_Map_Pack;39881
A pretty cool short Single player campaign.
I really enjoyed playing through it.
Secterra
http://www.secterra.com/
This was going to be more levels, aswell as a mod. But I haven't seen any updates.
The level, however, is really really fun. Its a CTF Level with four fully destructible buildings, you can only damage them with explosives / if you're the enemy team.
(I.e combine can't damage the combine buildings, etc)
Know of any mods I'm missing that are playable / look promising? Post 'em.
