Probably one of the worst Half-Life 2 mods on this site; a total joke. There have to be at least 10 "find the battery" puzzles included just to waste the player's time. Honestly the earlier mods made by this dev were just kind of mediocre but this one is actively malicious to the player.
Also the shaders and filters look pretty bad and make the game chug even on newer hardware. I turned them off but had to deal with graphical issues as a result. Avoid this mod at all costs, it's not even enjoyable in an ironic sense.
Good concept but there were dozens of infinitely respawning soldiers stuck inside obstacles that would just pepper you and throw grenades and be from outright annoying to potentially deadly when I got to "We've Got Hostiles."
There were also plenty of instances of zombies and bullsquids being stuck in places they shouldn't be and were basically a non-threat, but it really only became an issue when the soldiers started respawning for some reason.
If this glitch didn't ruin the game for me I would've rated it higher, but it was basically unplayable for me because it'd force you to run past them and that doesn't really fit my playstyle; I like games that don't have respawning enemies usually, and this was significant enough to cut my playthrough that short.
With this recurring issue, I can confidently say this mod needs more work to iron out these bugs for a better, more fresh Half-Life experience.
I feel like the creator didn't even playtest their own mod.
The first issue I encountered was the controls being remapped to terrible binds but I'm not sure if that's the creator's fault.
It's all downhill from that though, the difficulty is ridiculous and dozens of enemies spawn right in your face and the only choice you have is to run past or just die. The maps are just edited from the base game as well, not much originality there either.
Likely one of the worst mods I've played, not much effort involved. I don't think there's a single positive to be found here. Not even worth playing ironically.
