Gateways

Half-Life 2 mod | Released Aug 19, 2007

This is a single player Half Life 2 mod, set entirely outside of city 17. it features:

+6 levels of action, exploring a range of locations (from an underground facility to fighting alongside the combine on an alien world to floating color-coordinated cubes)

+Non-linear level progression- you start near a nexus of gateways, and may choose the order in which to progress through the levels

+A musical score (a total of 8 tracks)

+Some new abstract textures (see image 3)

+Challenging gameplay- this mod is meant for those who have already completed Half Life 2.

****For those with version 1.0, to get around the bug in the airboat-sequence, just noclip through the floor. (this is fixed in version 1.1) To noclip, open the console with ~ (or if its deactivated, go to options/keyboard/advanced to activate it) then type in "sv_cheats 1" and then in a separate line "noclip" (it should spit back at you "noclip on"). Type "noclip" again to deactivate noclipping.

EDIT:The website is down... sorry about that.
Hello anyone who cares, Kiwi Productions has a new website! Pretty soon
we are going to start releasing information regarding our next project.
There is a little bit of information regarding it on the new site, but
more will be posted here on moddb at some point. For those who want a
sequel to Gateways, understand that this is not a sequel, although it
has a similar style and design. That said, we believe it is much
improved, even in its currently early state. We'll make a bigger,
"official," not private, announcement later.   Here is the website: Kiwiproductions.987mb.com

This is everything you need to play Gateways (assuming you have half life 2). Version 1.1 fixes a major flaw in the last level of version 1.0. (v1.0 had...

Just finished playing through the mod, the gameplay was fun. The only issue I had with it was the blocky levels, other than that it was very enjoyable. 8/10

Thats right. This mod is in PC GAMER UK! Fine it's in the tiny column in the extra-life section but it's there and downloadable from the disk! Here is what the column says:

PC wrote:This Half-Life 2 singlepayer mod reminds us of Sven-Coop for the original Half-Life. Those were the good old days, when map designers abandoned plot, common sense and frequently the rules of time and space in order to make levels that kept you interested. Gateways plops you down a room with a series of portals, each leading to a level more nonsensical that the last, stuffed with somewhat cluelessly placed enemies and weapons. The level that skirts that thin line between genius and insanity. It's amateurish, but has more creativity than plenty of pro games. snipurl.com/gways

OMG i loved this mod. okay i must admit it looked a bit amateurish, and the mapping could use quite a lot of work, but that map with the big cube was just creative genius!! well... all of them, but not as genius :P I've played a lot of mods that had better mapping/texturing but this one was just pure fun :P this mod says like "to hell with story and intricate plots, let's get on with the fun!" I dont get why people got stuck though. I played through the whole thing in about... lets say 3 quarters of an hour, without ever getting stuck... i had to revise a few of my playing strategies to get through some points though, and i thank the people who made it for that :D congrats! 7.5/10

was actually a good set of challenges, with some nice gameplay designs. The maps looks horrible tough, except for some nice lighting. If you had managed to fit this gameplay into a realistic setting you may have been on to something.

This mod is obviously a first attempt at serious map-making by the authors and as such should never have been released :) Eery mapper has to learn somehow, but nobody's first attempt is ever any good.

I encourage the authors to keep mapping and honing their skills - one day they'll have a mod or map pack worthy of release.

This mod could have been so much better if it had a competent mapper.
