Highest Rated (3 agree) 9/10
The beginning of this mod is unusual - we ride in the prisoner pod through some Combine buildings. Then we see a window and understand that we are in the Citadel. A story twist - and we are resting on the sofa in the comfortable flat, but there's no time for resting, because CPs are getting close, so we have to retreat to the old church. The design is excellent. We are in some unknown city, and while in general everything is very similar to Half-Life 2, there are many unique details. The elements…

Impressive! I felt like these levels were made by Valve. Nice storyline similar to Route Kanal, nicely done locations. And it was quite difficult to finish it on Hard - there were very few med aids and I was always short on ammo. Had to play with care.
Any plans to continue the storyline?
Two bugs found during the gameplay:
- In the room with two CPs (one behind the barrier, second on top) there is a hole in the roof. If you take a look there you will see some buildings with very poor textures.
- I could hardly hear G-man because of the background music. My music volume settings didn't affect it.
Nicerly done mod! I have to say, the odd zombie and head crab caught me off guard for a quick scare! 8/10, Cool ending too.

Explain why the main character has a hazard suit and why he is so famous among the rebels. Honestly, if you did that, the mod would be complete for me ;-)
Please add a direct download link (old one on website broken), Desura doesn't wanna work in our network and doesnt install all the files of download.
i really wanna play this mod
I've added Filip Valkas to the HLEU : Hleu.wikia.com
Feel free to add a picture if you want, Mephasto.

Err... Whatever YOU want to do with your story, maybe XD
I would like to see the same great mapping continued, Along with some more 'unique-ness' such as more interaction with resistance outposts, More levels that show the history,development and hardships people have gone through outside of this city.
In all, I love and mod and rated it 10/10, I map for Garry's Mod on the Hammer Editor, I tried out making a mod and figured out it is a lot harder than you think. D:, So I realize the great work you've put into this.
Cheers!
I have been quite busy lately, working for Finnish game development studio. However i have not forgotten Joutomaa.
Thanks for your emails, ill try to answer your questions the best i can.

Great mapping, I have to say, as a Source Modder myself.
BECAUSE THEY ARE BEING PUBLISHED ON DESURA!!!!! lol, sorry for caps, had to.
Mod must be updated before publishing, because Desura-specific "featured preview" picture needs to be uploaded when editing a Desura profile. And every edit after 24 hours of the last update of mod profile bumps it to the top, can't help it.
