Reviews - Freezepond

I have to admit. This is one of the greatest, if not THE GREATEST mod I have ever played. A great game made better.

Quite fun. It is a nice way to cure short term depression. I was feeling a little depressed about losing something, but then I played this and I stopped caring. I think the mapping needs to be changed a little more, though.

It was a really fun mod. It really captured the elements that the first Half-Life games were all about. I liked how in the end, when you were waiting for the portal to work, a robot came in and started shooting. This was one of the few mods I have played that have a real ending boss, and one of the VERY few I have played where the bosses made me feel intimidated. I was trying to hide from it most of the time. The voice acting is hard to understand, but that is one of the few things that are wrong with this mod.

I really don't like it. It is like running from 7382457896534289672345 striders with 1 HP. I died so soon!

I will list all the problems in order. At first, 9 HP? I got killed by the antlion the first time! I then remembered where it was, so I killed it. Then there is the boat. It makes no sense on how to get through it. I tried climbing on things but that did not work. This was the 1st time I used noclip. I got into the field where the Antlions were, but I couldn't understand how to get through it. I went one way, and the ground collapsed, and it looked very odd. I went through the Antlion nest, then when I got out, I tried to get to the Depot, but I couldn't find a way. I tried one way, and it killed me. Just block it off! You do not have to put #trigger_hurt everywhere! I got mad at that part, then I used noclip a 2nd time. I got on top of a hill, and then the Combine started shooting me. I killed them, went across, and then there was a Gunship that I could not kill with 3 rockets, people shooting me, and a bunch of annoying obstructions. I attempted to run from it, but then I fell into another #trigger_hurt. At that point, I was tired of using noclip, so I stopped. There are 2 problems with the game itself, one being that the map takes a long time to load when I die (I die a TON in this mod), and two is that it is not fun at all. I could have more fun shooting NPCs in Garry's Mod.

TL;DR: This mod is extremely mediocre.
