MINERVA mod for Half-Life 2

can this mod work without hl2? i have source sdk source hl2dm and css so will it work?

Plain and simple people...this piece of work is one of the finest examples of what can truly be accomplished when a mods done right!
A major 10!! From concept and storyline to one of the most finely
polished and enjoyable mod experiences I've had the pleasure to play.
Stands in my personal top five best,(and I favor horror based!).

It has it all.If your a current or prospective modder,no matter your area of developing expertise,you can learn something from it.Major Kudos to CargoCult and any others who may have participated.

this looks so cool but my computer isnt downloading it. i think im going to try again.

One of the best mods I've ever played 10/10

There is an excellent HL1 map by the same developer:

Hylobatidae.org

Looks nice.

This is probably the one billionth review about to buried by another trillion positive comments, but I'll speak:

This mod was the very first Half-life 2 mod I have seen and has completed changed my way of playing games and looking at mods. Before, I was merely an ignorant who thought mods were nothing more that virus-inducing modifications that made your guns shoot wooden logs, spawn teleporters randomly, and maybe crash your computer. But then I saw a video walkthrough of this mod. My first thought was "Did steam release a new Half-life game?" I was delightfully wrong. This was a mod, a personally developed game by a half-life 2 fan like myself. With a little research, I stumbled onto a place called Moddb, where hundreds of free game mods were being developed. With no money and admant parents, this discovery incited by Minerva was fantastic. With the only games I had in the Orange Box, I can download hundreds(actually twenty since most mods are screwed up) of games that are even better than the Orange Box, with this mod topping them all!
I praise the existence of this mod for introducing me to a whole new universe of entertainment. I praise the superior mapping of this mod, making every time I play a fresh new experience. I praise the difficulty curb of this game. Most of the time when I'm caught in a frustrating spot I would normally blame the game developer, but this mod was so good that I could only find fault in my play style. I praise the story and especially the ending of this mod, you wont find yourself randomly fading to a black screen, no sir!

If this wasn't the mod that introduced me to the modding universe, I would only give it a 10/10, but since it is that very mod, Minerva rightfully deserves a 100/10. Excellent work CargoCult!

P.S. I scorn all who congradulates Adam's new job in Valve, for my anticipation for Minerva's next release exceeds far more than that I could have for any of Valve's videogame releases!
