Call in. A single player mod which plays out at the same time as Gordon and Alyx flees the citadel in Ep1. You take the role of a rebel soldier on a mission to retrieve information regarding the super portal to aid in the building of Dr. Magnussons rocket.
Just a quick few of my personal thoughts regarding this mod.
I installed this mod twice upon it's release and essentially wound up with quite a mess of corrupted and/or damaged ( texures mostly ) files and an unplayable mod. I got frustrated and said " some other time after it's patched ". A couple of days later, I discovered that it wasn't the mod at all, but a small download glitch with the Desura program. Fixed that and downloaded it a third time and I'm so very glad I did !
If what I've read is correct and this is Ludvig's first release, I cant believe it. This is one of the most thoroughly enjoyable HL2 mods that I've played in a while. Nearly everything about it seemed suited to all my personal preferences and style of play. Challenging, immersive, diversity of environments, consistent atmosphere and the ability to employ some tactical combat.
Overall, the level designs were just superb and well planned out. ( I'm a big fan of the " close quarters " style of mapping ) Each section lead clearly and progressively to the next with all the space within the maps skillfully and fully ( without cluttering ). Ludvig's good use of plenty of stock assets, together with the paralleled E1 story-time line, gave me the feeling of actually playing the original. My only critique was an insane difficulty spike with the Hunters battle, but we'll let that slide once. I rate this mod an absolute must play for all HL2 fans.
