Half-Life: ESCAPE mod

I thought there were too many closed doors too, however I soon changed my mind after playing POV

too much closed doors...

Not impressive but it was good. The design of the maps could have been a little bit better.

First of all why have you not announced that the mod is finished on the news page? seems a bit strange.

I found myself pleasantly surprised by this mod. On one hand yes it is yet another mod set in Black Mesa, only this time you are somebody new.

Something that initially struck me was how the little details have been catered for e.g. The Furniture and style of rooms is identical to Black Mesa in HL, which made me feel right at home, and the fact that you remodelled/retextured the hand models for all the weapons.

On the negative side I have to say the new voices are terrible. Luckily there are not many, but you can clearly differentiate the new voices with the original HL voices.

The maps were mightily impressive and kepy a constant high quality throughout which i was rather happy about. Another worthy mention in the puzzles, although technically they cant be called puzzles but there was a particular section where I needed to use logic in order to figure out where to go.

I see that you have copied models that have previously been used in other mods (Blue Shift, Opposing Force) but it works brilliantly because you are set in the same place after all.

The enemy placement was generally spot on. And I felt I was constantly being challenged by the opposition.

Because of the lack of information about this mod I was wondering whether I should bother to download it, however I am really glad I did. i have played through all the best HL mods and I can honestly say that this is near the top of the list with my favourites, and I look forward to any future mods the team works on.

Thanks!

its english...

Great! Too bad it's in Deutch... :(

its done :)

Looks interesting... I am attempting to give it a try, although you didn't like it that much, Donk...

I played an early version and to be honest, at the moment, it's not all that. It has some great bits, but there's too much sloppy design, and I didn't have a clue what was going on.
