(NEW) Strider Mountain Version 3

AT 30,000 FEET... you are almost 6 miles (9.7 km's) above sea level. The human body is not made for these conditions. Temperatures can plummet to -60F (-51C), the brain is starved for oxygen and each step is a new experience in pure agony. It's difficult to breathe. It's difficult to think. It's difficult to move. And you still have to endure another 444 feet (0.14 km's) to get to the peak. So much for the good news.
STORYLINE: SURVIVE the SUMMIT ...The rebels are losing the battle against the strider onslaught that keeps growing. To help turn the tide of war you need to destroy the source of the Striders. That source is at the summit of what the rebels call, StriderMountain. There is only one way to get into the mountain geography and it's extremely dangerous terrain. The danger proves to be too much and you are forced way off target. Now, you must fight your way through the Combine Mountain Base Camp because it's the only entry to the mountain. As Gordon Freeman, you must survive the summit and destroy the source of the Striders.

I have a prolem with displaying that Freeman's figure. It doesn't occure in animations,but why? Thanks for the answer.
Great great great! hours of very good game!
Glad to hear. Thx for the post.
is there really 16 chapters?
Actually there is 17 with the bonus map.
I liked this mod a lot. It was very fun, the atmosphere was fantastic, I felt like I knew where I was going most of the time and I almost never got lost, and the story was pretty good. It was very action-packed, however it seemed that there were was little-to-no breaks in between firefights. I didn't mind this much, but I thought it was worth mentioning. I also didn't like the fact that the sniper rifle shot out crossbow bolts, but I didn't mind that much, either.
This was a great mod, all in all. But, it had a few bugs every now and again, but it didn't make the mod any less fantastic. I give your mod an 8/10.
thank you all for the nice words about our last released HL2 sp-mod strider mountain, (we did make before this one another big HL2 sp-mod that has 15 large maps called "Coastline to Atmosphere", should someone be interested in playing a simular sp-mod of us).
a lot is allready been said, and answered, so it's a bit hard for me to answer each point again here.

I voted for this, this is the longest, and probably the most worked on mod for HL2 to date, for a single player release. I think strider mountain should take a prize for this years MOTY cause it's just got something other mods don't, it's hard to tell what though...
really long, repetitive, hunt-the-key style level designs?
no, serious sam style combat sometimes ;) but seriously, it has annoying moments but later it gets more interesting/diverse. level design alone is what makes it worth finishing, imo. also it utilizes many of the original game's features that many other mods' developers simply didn't care to implement (dunebuggy being one of them). and keycards aren't very hard to find anyway.
