Combine Destiny mod for Half-Life 2

Very nice mod with some great features. Also very professional length with a good amount of play in it. The layout is great as is the path through the maps. The architecture is good too and little touches like the Combine HUD and things make this an enjoyable play. There are a couple of issues though which stops this from being really good. On the visuals side, some people have been complaining that it is too dark in places and I would agree with that - standing in the pitch black, waiting for your torch to recharge a lot is not really very fun. Also I would have to say that some of the areas are a bit barren and lack detail. What is there is lovely, but there could be a bit more. Also because there aren't really any sub-goals, or even an objective which explains the path around the base, the game becomes a case of "walk where I'm allowed to go and kil what I see", rather than "try to reach the X to do Y". As a result the length of the game does drag a little and it all feels a bit the same. Oh and the fast-combine-suprise-round-the-corner trick is _tierd_ guys (but then I'm not really a zombie fan, much more of a gunfight guy).

High-lights include the rebel-on-combine squad action (interesting to be on the recieving end - those guys pack a nasty sting), the dazzling lights in the mines and the vortigaunt. Definately worth a play and I look forward with earnest to the sequel.

it seemed like a pretty good mod from the pictures.. and playing a combine is definitely cool. But.. I seem to get stuck way at the beginning.

I go through the tunnel, open the first main door.. kill the fast zombies, go onto the next part with the bridge, where the entry and exit appear to be shut solid once you enter. So I walk on, some more fasties come around, I try to kill them as well, but then all of a sudden the bridge breaks apart, I fall down into some dark pit. All I hear is some gurgling noises, some combine noises, some alarm, some explosions now and then.. but I can't do anything else. I can't use my flashlight to see where the hell I am, I can't seem to use my inventory and absolutely nothing happens there after.. tried it 3 times, always the same result.

im almost done with the mod an so far it has been pretty cool it sorta reminds me of op4

When i install it i try i restart steam but it not show in my list i even made a Valve folder and changed the shortcut targets but still no showing :eek:

Just finished this mod and I did enjoy it. Had some problems with the maps and all...strange errors really. Got through them and enjoyed the rest of it. Loved the lighting, even though it was unnatural and minimal. Flashlight helps a lot too, aside from it's slow recharge rate and limited energy capacity. I thoroughly enjoyed being on the side of the Combine, kinda nice to have them on your side too. I did find myself killing unarmed civilians (I saw one unarmed civilian pick up a weapon and open-fired upon me). It would have been nice to be able to use Manhacks possibly, or the ability to drive one of their APCs. Overall...enjoyed it. Definitely.

That wasn't the light problem I meant. The lighting used in the map is very unnatural, even with the flashlight, the lighting around the flashlight looks very bad.

then just leave the flashlight on all the time :P

I luv this mod, killing zombies, different paths that lead to diff places, rebels, antlions, lol, i can't wait for no.2! You guys rock :D

very nicely done mod, the music is very unique

though you could've made it not-so-scary

:(

i'd like to see more fighting in groups against rebels but i guess this fighting vs zombies is good

:) Great Mod. Loved the music.

i found myself not shooting unarmed Rebels. Didn't have 2. Also found myself killing mutants that would harm them.

very good mod. i look foward to more like this. Espectly one where you can change sides mid game!!
