What happens when Gordon Freeman was a counter-terrorist before he became a scientist? What if he brought all his counter-terrorism training to the Black Mesa the day The Accident happened? Aliens coming from nowhere, soldiers slaughtering the survivors and machinery gone haywire... What say we buy that AW/M, load it with .338 Magnum Lupua rounds and fire it aimed right in between the eyes of anyone standing in your way?

If you don't really want to read, it's up to you. I'm just adding some foreword.

It's been a long 3 years, aye? During those times, I've learned and saw different things. Some good, some bad, some memorable, some coming quite close to death.

My perspective during those 3 years have been changed drastically. Being in the Singapore military does have its purpose. Lots of backstabbing and crap to go around when you're posted to an infantry unit and this somehow teaches you about the real world. I could go on and on but I don't really see the point.

At least I've been to the firing range to fire the AR15, P226 and the SAR 21. Like Dad, I'm sort of a gun fanatic but I do know gun safety and abide to it very religiously. Jack Thompson can talk for all day long for I care because I was taught to know the big difference between what's reality and what's fantasy by my parents.

But enough about myself, this isn't a blog! This is a news report to tell you CL Beta 7 has been uploaded and is ready for download anytime soon!

Here's the changelist:
-=[ Fixes and Features ]=-
GAMEPLAY:
- Removed dynamic lighting from Alien Controllers. That causes the Xen crashing.
- Removed models/sounds/sprites that are not required in order to save space.
- Fixes titles.txt so that the proper titles would show.
- Rebalanced the money received from killing monsters.
- Redone buy menu for rifles. Now split into Assault or Sniper instead of CT or T.
- Zombies take very little damage unless shot/slashed/stabbed in the head. Explosives works like normal.
- Better bank display.
- Limit maximum money to 950,000,000. Any higher and it comes with a 'price'.
- *Splash screen by Big Head Crab (i think... It's been sitting in my HD for a long time.)

WEAPONS
- Changed crosshair - WARNING! BE CARFUL WHEN EDITING THE SPRITES!
- Removed non-CS weapons.
- M4A1 price increased.
- C4 max amount is now 3.
- H&K G3/SG-1/Sig SG-550 and Benelli M4 Super 90 are changed back to their original ROF.
- Benelli M3 Super 90 now shoots buckshots instead of slugs.
- Removed Sniper Shroud. It's not working perfectly so SCREW IT!
- Elites and Sig P228 are back to their original calibre.
- Removed gun puffs. Looks weird to see a floating puff of smoke when you fire and move
- Removed M4A1's silencer and replaced it with M203.
- Readjust reloading and draw delay times for all weapons.
- Fixed some weapons' animation.
- Removed shrapnels for the C4, HE and LAW. Redundant bastards.
- Added Ultimate Weapon.

*Ignore the Beta 6.5. This is CL Beta 7.

My advise to you is to delete every single bit of CL from Steam and reinstall it using Beta 7. It's a fresh copy and I'm pretty 99.9% sure that it will not go wrong unless you didn't read the readme.txt carefully. And do read the Letter to Freeman. Until then, enjoy.

Oh yeah! A million thanks to
1) All of you for keeping the faith.
2) Jenn and Sureshot for the models.
3) Terra, yet again for many reasons.

Edit: Forgot to mention. Laughter comes from Capcom's Killer7(sweet game with a confusing storyline. Worth your time). Got it from a recoded game play.

Edit2: Let's see if you all bother reading. Hahaha! There's a link to a program called G-Flip in the Eye Candy section of the forums. What it does is to mirror your model from left to right or vice versa. It worked for me. I haven't tried flipping more than 1 model but just give it a go. Enjoy!

Edit3: I hear all you right handed lovers cries of pain and uploaded the right handed models for almost each and every weapon. Only elites are left as default. Grab them at the downloads section.

Yep. Very rare breed. One of those who decided that games will be part of his working life. Still a long way to that though...

Ah that's not too hard to tell, you seem pretty professional and eloquent going about your business. Seems you've been here since the start too, funny we've never met, but then again I was never in the HL community, only played the mods. Well it's nice to meet a "fellow countryman" (ugh truth be told I'm usually more ashamed than delighted to meet one on the interweb). Are you done with NS yet? Going by the weapons, I reckon you are an MP/RP?
