HL2EP2 Mod made during a six (6) week period. Featuring Adrian Shephard being reinstated in the arctic base dr Judith Mossman is transmitting from in hl2ep2. Follow Shephard through 3 distinctive maps while he tries to escape the complex he is stuck in.
A couple moments where the level design misdirects you, but atleast the real solutions are always close by, a little too much long-range combat scenarios (with no real long range weapons), and definitely way too short overall. But still nice.
The ending was a bit anticlimactic and it's very short (about 20 minutes) but the combat scenarios were great with lots of vertical gameplay.
A perfectly decent little mod to play. The environments look pretty good and are well-designed enough. The combat has a classic issue of 'it's a big rooms and a bunch of dudes are in it' which makes more of the combat pretty annoying; this isn't in a challenging way, but it's frustrating to be standing in a big 'ol room getting shot at from all sides. The pacing is really odd, but I'll let it slide because it's so short, same with the lack of any real narrative.
Overall something fun to try that'll only take about a half our of your time, not too shabby.
"Aurora: Reinstated" was a fairly good HL2 user-made mod while it 'lasted': Which is the keyword, 'lasted.'
It is very, very short -- easily one of the shortest user-made HL2 mods I have ever played. For this reason alone, I rate it only 3/10.
A short little adventure, but a sweet one!
Level design is tight and opens up during progression and each level has an excellent level of detail utilizing the base HL2 assets!
Combat primarily takes place at mid-range but is quite exciting, using level geometry to force the player out of hiding to confront ones foes and while there are only a handful of skirmishes, they are well crafted.
My complaints are small. Despite how I don't mind it's short length, the level of detail does waver off near the very end, and the fact I cannot open up the console leaves little for experimenting like I usually do.
Despite that, it's a fun little romp and I hope the mapper has more project up his sleeve!
Not bad, but a bit short and plain. Also nowhere it was mentioned that we have to allow beta updates in source sdk 2013. It must be done otherwise the mod is crashing upon start.
This mod is almost a false advertising as I'm playing as Gordon Freeman instead of Adrian Shepherd.
Overall, it was an okay mod. Nothing special and too short.
