MINERVA
Half-Life 2 mod | Released Oct 4, 2007
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.

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

That was great!
You have some great mapping skills and espacially a good feeling for atmosphere! The undergorund part was really thrilling. Hope th next part will soon be out and will answer some of the questions :)
Great Mod, very entertaining. Can't wait for the other installments.
Keep up the great work!
Wow, what a fantastic experience! Most entertaining 17mb I have ever downloaded ;-)
An amazing production!
You have definitely set a very high standard for your series.
This was absolutely AMAZING! I must say it was almost, mabye even BETTER, that Half Life 2. The mod was challanging, it kept me interested the entire time, and it has amazing mapping! Even though there was barely any new content, which some people would complain about, saying it's not without it, it was an amazing mod!
You even did things VALVe would never do. For example, VALVe would most likely make this into about five seperate maps. But you magicaly managed to pull it off in just A SINGLE MAP! OMFG! That's insane! How many areaportals did you use? You must have goten pretty close to the entity limit. Yet it ran so darned smoothly! I just can't wait to play episode 2!
Wow. Already got a release out? Kickass! Will try this.
Ah, you're going for the Sin aproach! How long will each episode be, gameplay wise? BTW I'm about to play the first episode.
Puppet
I must say, that this sounds interesting :)
Wow, very aweosme. I cannot wait for the second map!
Great story you have going, WWII bunker converted to a Combine stronghold/lab. Intresting idea with the energy beam to power stuff from space.
Great design. I'm impressed! new person to work at VALVe? :p
The key file when installing is gameinfo.txt. It should be found at this location:
/Steam/SteamApps/SourceMods/metastasis/gameinfo.txt
If it isn't there, it won't show up and you won't be able to run the game.
I just d/l the latest version from filefront and was trying to open it when my AntiVir personal edition progrma determined that it was virus infected. How come?????
