This isn't just a rebuild of the original work, this is a slight reimagining. Building on that original work. And it does it so well. Genuinely one of the best Half Life 2 mods ever made. It's up there with Entropy Zero, Black Mesa, and Minerva. Which reminds me I have to play Minerva again.
All said and done, this is the best HL2 experience I've had in a very long time, and I'm definitely going to donate to the team, since they've earned it. I do hope they can finish this, and release it on Steam.
If you haven't done so, I highly recommend you give it a try. Since the old beta content, the WC map pack, and the book Raising the Bar holds a very special place in my childhood. I used to obsess over stuff like this.
