how do i get it to follow the normal half-life 2 story

Good job, realy good work!!

Good job ripping off the hl2 beta maps.

City 17 is not a mod really. It’s a coming together of random ideas from someone who has access to the Source SDK and other peoples’ models. The focus of this mod seems to be to add new weapons and increase the difficulty of Half-Life 2 (albeit in new maps) by increasing the health of enemies, or decreasing the effectiveness of your weaponry. Maybe it’s both. Whatever has been done to the delicate balance of Half-Life 2 that made it reasonably challenging yet always fun, it has ruined any semblance of an enjoyable product.

The mod starts off in an empty room and goes downhill from there. Awaiting you are such hazards as:

level transitions that don’t work;
ladders that won’t let you on to them;
ladders that won’t let you off of them;
remapped control scheme (grr!);
entrances that are too narrow;
enemies that re-spawn instantly before your eyes;
instant crash when the save feature tries to create a screenshot (what you see when you go to load it);
frequent pitch black areas;
ragdolls that interfere with player movement;
and so on.

The mapping is poor, or simply taken from other maps. The third and fourth maps are the HL2 deathmatch map set in a prison. The second level is the lobby scene from the matrix, etc. They do not even seem to be linked in any way. I had to stop playing this mod. It is truly awful, broken, and a disappointing mess.

space for jump, even. Ctrl for duck.

I can't move (can look/shoot)!
