Latest News: RPS digs R&D

PC gaming super-blog Rock, Paper, Shotgun loves R&D! In a new review Alec Meer praises the mod as "a seismic shift" away from the norm, telling readers that it is "as must-play as an HL2 mod gets":
R&D’s hook is that it’s essentially non-combative. Yep – you go without guns throughout (bar the ol’ Gravity jobbie, but hey, that’s more about construction than destruction here). Sure, you can tell an Antlion to claw someone to death or arrange to squash men with falling girders, but you’re definitely not Edward Pistolhands. It’s an environmental adventure game, taking the irregular physics and logic puzzles seen in HL2 itself and turning them into the game itself. Mazes, gravity, exploding microwaves and fire-retardant antlion carapaces all make an appearance – it’s very much a point’n’click adventure in an FPS engine.
If you still haven't played Research and Development, which requires Episode Two, download it now!

I do sure hope for a sequel. Maybe. Possibly.
I talked about this game on my profile, despite it being such a long time since this mod was released. This is one of the best puzzle mods for the half life 2 engine; and if the developer is still lurking here I want to thank you for delivering such an amazing mod.
I remember when this was released ! This mod is one of the best mods ever to HL2 !
Too bad that it died :/
Still my favourite mod of all time. Not even exaggerating.
lol zombie on the road
I played though this whole game so if you want to see what its like befor you play it :) Youtube.com
The whole thing with the cart exiting problem is preventing me from moving forward. Please fix.
This mod is excellent, really clever and well designed gameplay elements. Puzzles are completely original, and often better than even valve's puzzles in hl2.
Hi!, I've done a let'S play series of this awesome mod, here is a link: Youtube.com
This mod should go on the HL2:E2 mod page. Not the HL2 mod page.
I have a problem, when i try to launch the mod it launches normal hl2ep2 and its not just this mod some mods launch hl2 instead of running
