10/10 for yhe "remod part" of the mod.

For the real mod, I think it deserve a 7/10.
Don't have lots of things to say, a little sweet mod that is fun and fair, maybe a little awkward or strange at some points but it's ok.
There is a They Hunger feel to this mod, I can't qualify it, it's good for the ambiance and bad because its not well done.

It's still a nice mod and I liked the "Blood Style", I played Blood 2 and found this game really funny, so it's a nice "easter egg"

This note is only for the "Remod" part oh the mod. It's very well made, improved skins, sounds etc... Lots of effort must have been pushed in this remod, very good work! I enjoyed shooting with the weapons actually! But for the mod itself it's another story...

I only played the first episode and nearly finish (I think?) the second one. I don't know why people acclaimed this mod. Well you can feel that the creator liked making this mod and it's great! But I don't know if he tested it... or at least in Hard mode! Seriously, too many ennemies compare to your ammo, very bad ammo placement (only in Storage-like room)level design where you can't always hide or take cover, and you know that in Hard you must take cover, because of Vortigaunts and military essentially. Health and Armor is actually not that bad in term of placement, it's just that it's not good in Hard for the Health. I am very good in Half life, I played it since 2011-2012, but I'm still usually low on health or armor in this mod. Oh and ennemy placement kind of suck too (yeah headcrabs in corners, military right next to you after you climb a ladder, or Vortigaunts teleporting while you are in a vulnerable position).
The level design is not bad, it's actually good in some places, it's detailled like Half life, so the feeling is here. HOWEVER it sucks at the same time, long corridors, large rooms, and not made for combat. And some times it's just garbage, because there are respawning ennemies (like in the second episode with those nazis assassin respawning in a SMALL room), explosives things you don't always see (sometimes there are just overpowered for no reason), and the biggest problem of the mod: "WHERE THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GO???"
It happened to me like 2-3 times in the first episode and 1-2 times in the second. There's no indications and you're just lost. I think that it's the end of the first part that made me mad. You don't know what the f*ck you have to do and ennemies are shooting and respawning. I needed to read the walktrough to understand, seriously! You can't think or take a look around when lots of ennemies are killing you!

Well, for the good points, the story is kind of fun, and the design is great in general, and there are some nice ideas and "cinematics".
But it's not a great mod, I considere it "very medium".

I may have forgot to say other things, but I think everybody can understand what I said in this long review. I remember everyone that it's about the mod itself, I reviewed the "remod part" in the begining.

A very awesome mod! Mapping is classic ans very detailled, difficulty is challenging, I liked the little exporation style, find a special item to continu... classic but effective.

The mod use the Blue Shift "engine" and not a lot of mod use it.

Awesome work!
