You play in the role of Captain Percy Freeman, a Special Forces officer who is assigned the task of tracking down and assassinating the renegade Colonel Kurtz. Things take a turn for the worse when, having set off on your mission, the higher-ups in the chain of command mysteriously decide that they want you dead, while you discover to your horror that someone has been breeding an inhuman master-race of hideous undead mutants which is now rampaging across the jungle slaughtering everything in its path. Stuck between the Viet-Cong, the U.S. Marine Corps, and the hordes of mindless zombies, with only your sidekick Barney for company and your trusty chainsaw for a weapon, your one remaining hope is to keep going deeper and deeper into enemy territory, wading through the bodies of the fallen, towards the elusive Kurtz...

This was a whole lot of fun. The ragdolls and squad mechanics add a whole lot to the game. It's a really great feeling to gather a crew of a dozen buddies that tag along and hardly ever get in the way. They only seem to have trouble getting in elevators and in the boat. I think my only real critique i guess, other than some minor bugs is that maybe it would have been nice if mission items were highlighted in this port? Maybe I'm just dumb, but i spent a lot of time wandering around trying to find out what i needed to do only to find out this plank i passed by over and over that i thought was part of the scenery was an item i needed.
Man I wish some of those other great hl mods got ported over to source. They Hunger and they hunger come to mind
