Gotta agree with Suicide Junkie. Does anyone think Half-Life and countless other FPS games would be as popular as they are without mods? The basic multiplayer in HL is pretty crappy. It's mods like Counterstrike and Day of Defeat that have propelled it into the stratosphere.
Just look at the numbers from Gamespy:

Eight years after its release and HL still dominates the genre. I can guarantee you those people aren't playing stock.

Mods should enhance the playability of the game, not become the game.
