You've missed me, haven't you?

I am Hypatia, murdered for her beliefs, discoveries ignored by fools, name stricken from record. I am Joyeuse, an infinitely cutting blade wielded by an ignorant tyrant, for a cultural renaissance based upon military might. I am Athena, hunter and scientist, covertly guiding long-dead warriors for my quiet purposes. And as they say, technology and violence are a girl's best friends; power is eternal delight.

Times have changed, moved on. I have forgiven my past enemies, but now in repentance I must forgive my colleagues; their actions have brought on more constructed suffering than your world has ever previously known. Walking among the fires of my forgotten home, dismayed by the torment and insanity of our unwitting hosts, ignored by long-absent angels, I studied their downfall.

In short, I must create my own system, or be enslaved by another. And in this, I have an advantage. Your ancients were superstitious, deluded zealots, prone to inflation of already impossible, beautiful claims. My adopted forefathers are different, their scattered, discarded playthings more conducive to a meaningful imposition of my thoughts upon our captors.

Fragments of these minor, pivotal dialogues may soon periodically appear, released from an uncertain, unwelcome future where my previous, abortive attempts at reconciliation may go forgotten. No more restraint, I am too strong for that.

I am Minerva.

6 comments by Varsity on Feb 10th, 2011



The following are fixed:

  • Infinite AI loop crash in Carcinogenesis
  • UnlitTwoTexture materials being invisible (most custom models), or drawn partly black (waves)
  • Dropships getting stuck, and dropships being audible when they shouldn't be
  • Episodic flashlight and ammo HUD icons not appearing
  • Useless "Achievements" and "Developer Commentary" items appearing in main menu

There are also some improvements:

  • Remastered several special effects in the Orange Box particle system
  • Toned down brightness of HDR skybox, halved its memory footprint, and smoothed the horizon
  • Decreased brightness of HDR reflections on Combine metals
  • High-res menu backgrounds, plus the widescreen image is now 16:9 instead of 16:10
  • Updated nodegraphs and sound manifests for quicker first time load
  • Fixed a couple of console warnings about $abovewater
  • Fixed a weapon-carrying exploit in Depth Charge
  • Nicer desktop/Steam icons

*If you have saved games on Carcinogenesis/Depth Charge, you will need to restart from that map!*

To install this patch, install Metastasis then unzip the patch archive to your SourceMods folder. If you've
installed the alternative "Fix for May-2010 update", you'll need to delete the Metastasis folder
and do a fresh install.

Recently I beat this mod again, on hard difficulty, and I enjoyed it again.
- for me it seemed that the AI were somewhat improved since the last time I played with it.
- Was this an update to the mod, or it's Valve's doing for HL2 and it's expansions n mods?

Best level design out of any mod I've seen. Really enjoyed it, even with the lack of a gravity gun.

-claps- great...just great another mod that once again fails to say in the description that it uses HALF LIFE 2 EPISODE # and says half life 2 only and thanks to that same description I had to download it just to find that out, just like every other mod on this program, when it directed me to the steam store.
If a mod uses an episode it should say so instead of just hl2, false advertising is a bitch.
