The days of playing old Half-Life mods are some of the best of my gaming experience. I haven't been paying much attention to the Source mod scene. So, time to try some new stuff!

I came across this mod looking for canon-compatible mods. Unfortunately, this doesn't quite achieve that. There is definitely an attempt, but the timeline and geography is all screwed up in the attempt to show places we've seen. This kind of treats the Opposing Force + Half-Life plots as completely parallel whereas the OP4 begins on the second day of the resonance cascade, and there's really not supposed to be black ops on the scene until much later. Putting that aside though, it was still quite fun.

The mission briefings didn't quite always play. This left me at a loss for what to do sometimes. The indoor mapping was much better than the outdoor. I liked most of the new models. The Half-Life 1 textures sometimes stuck out way too much, and I'm pretty sure hound eyes make human noises when they die :D. The raids were a refreshing change mid-way through. The ending battle was fun, although I was quite low on ammo and didn't know where to find more halfway through.

Cool that it's focusing on a section of World War II that's never seen in games -- I'll try it out just for that and the way it's striving to be historically accurate.
