Strider Mountain

Half-Life 2 mod | Released Sep 12, 2009

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.

First in a series, newly created, fresh, different...according to Wiktionary, define the word "original."

...the SM team is pleased to announce a partnership with composer David Mason. We're very excited to have such a talent join our team. And, although starting somewhat late in the mapping process, David will be adding some original music to the mod. He is currently playing the first eight maps in order to get a feel for what it's like to survive the summit of StriderMountain and here is what he has to say:

"I'm honored to be asked to work with such a talented, and dedicated team. I'm looking forward to pushing myself, and hope to bring something great to the project." Some of David's music and the first StriderMountain sample "Reload" can be found at his website, www.stainofmind.com

CREVASSE. More sneak preview screens can be seen at stridermountain.com
