>Counter-Strike, Team Fortress, Natural Selection

These games used the GoldSrc engine. Any game built on this engine gets called a mod. But this is not what most people actually think of when people are talking about mods. Rust is not a mod of Unity. These are game engines that people built a game using.

>DotA

This was a custom map. Not a mod.

>LoL, HoN

These were built on in house game engines and were not a mod.

>PUBG

This game used UE4 and was not a mod.
