Half-Life 2: Retaliation is a singleplayer Half-Life 2: Episode Two modification. It brings you into the familiar world of Half-Life 2 just as the antlion invasion of Nova Prospekt takes place. You step into the shoes of a notorious Rebel soldier who has been held captive in Nova Prospekt for months. During the invasion, he escapes his prison cell and goes on a long and violent mission to retaliate against the Combine, and aid the Resistance in the revolution. Travel through brand-new areas in Nova Prospekt, fight your way through three never-before-seen locations in the Half-Life 2 universe, witness the beginning of The Uprising, and ultimately carry out your retaliation.
Our material artist was able to fix us up some brand-new HD skins for the Civil Protection Shocktrooper as well as the Combine Soldiers, Prisongaurds, and Elites. Alongside the new antlion HD skins, these look just plain great. A news update will shine some light on all of this.
These look fantastic, detailed but not to the point where they don't fit the enivronment surrounding them, as many HD skins seem to these days. The trench coat on the Shocktrooper still looks sort of weird, though it's a lot better than the last version and I guess it's probably rather difficult to texture that area.
Thanks for the feedback, Mr. Walrus. Indeed, the Shocktrooper's trench coat is a material that is stretched, and that is as much as we can do. With this new HD skin, its A LOT better than it was before, but alas, it is all we can about it.
And we'll get some screenshots and a news post of these new antlion HD skins =D
