Probably the greatest stalker mod I played.

I still stand by this being really good fun but man those cutscenes and dialog really hurt my enjoyment of this mod. There has to be a better way to deliver the story you want to tell than to lock the player in a room for what feels like minutes, really really slow minutes. I wish you could skip that stuff, like I don't really care about frank the pilot and how he was a family friend or whatever, especially when there suppose to be a sense of urgency with u know the facility falling apart and the demons and zombies and w/e.

Other wise it's really good lol. Love the rebalanced arsenal and the tweaks done to some enemy behavior, excellent level design and even the puzzles are kinda alright.

The only thing i can think to say is that i wish it was at least twice the length. It ended way too quickly. ):

I don't really know what to say. It's just a really well crafted hl2 experience and super polished to boot. V pretty, and v fun.

confusing start but other wise pretty neat. Too much dang long winded talking tho

This was a whole lot of fun. The ragdolls and squad mechanics add a whole lot to the game. It's a really great feeling to gather a crew of a dozen buddies that tag along and hardly ever get in the way. They only seem to have trouble getting in elevators and in the boat. I think my only real critique i guess, other than some minor bugs is that maybe it would have been nice if mission items were highlighted in this port? Maybe I'm just dumb, but i spent a lot of time wandering around trying to find out what i needed to do only to find out this plank i passed by over and over that i thought was part of the scenery was an item i needed.

Man I wish some of those other great hl mods got ported over to source. They Hunger and they hunger come to mind

I am way too inarticulate to express how much I love this mod. The architecture, texture work, lvl of detail is gorgeous. The lovecraftian other worldliness, i haven't been so enchanted by a game world in a long time. Not only are the levels and everything really pretty, they're fun as hell too, really exciting and fun arenas, and it's really neat how some of the levels so far loop into a central point. Lot of crossing paths, level design you don't see so much in shootmans these days.

The additional enemies are a lot of fun, love the wizards and lost souls, the knight and ogre variants are real fun to fight too. I like that the shotgun shoots physical pellets with travel time now, it's interesting and makes them feel more meaty to me, also makes them feel distinct, which was a problem with vanilla quake i think.

I could just ranmble on about what i love about this mod. Everything added, new mechanics and art feel like a tasteful and natural expansion of quake and i just enjoy it a lot AND EVERYONE SHOULD PLAY IT.

The work this guy is doing is really great. The stealth mechanics are really really fun and fit in well and he does a real excellent job capturing that quake feel with the new assets and levels he's creating. MOD EVERYONE SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON
