Strider Mountain mod for Half-Life 2

Great i was waiting for this.

It's slow and there are no clues to where the you have to go. Doors don't look like doors at times so you're just stuck trying to find the door while it looks like a fucking wall. And the sounds suck. Also it's trial and error a lot of the times and in the end it doesn't amuse me.

The mapping is supposed to lead whereas in SM its just the map and you can go everywhere and you need to be in one little place. Making it look like a jungle and you need to find that one square meter in that jungle.

The sniper rifle also makes no sense. At all. It shoots crossbow bolts and it still has that sound! Also it's left handed while all the other weapons are right handed! On the topic of the weapons, I think you guys just took some cs reskins and pasted them in the folder because some weapons have different sounds and others don't.

Event handling is also average in this game. In the propaganda mission I heard a citizen yelling me (apparently) while I was recharging my suit. I had no idea where he was and then I heard an explosion. Apparently something happened and a lot of combines were spawning. That trigger was in the wrong place. What could've been a nice panic event became a fail by wrong trigger placement.

The music was nice but that's the only thing. Also it never stops. Music is supposed to add up to the atmosphere like Valve did in HL2. Whereas in SM it's just a playlist playing all the time.

The gameplay is also very repetitive. Run in room kill all combines before you can move on and then you go in other room kill again all of the combines before you can move on.
In the beginning was a nice little thinking game with the turrets when you only had your hook. That was nice but then it became all repetitive combat.

This mod is FAR from completed and the way I see it, this mod is in alpha status. 5/10

the mod seems good from the 20 mins I played of it but I was wondering if there was a way to stop the weapons from moveing around the screen it makes me motion sick

Have played until chapter 13.
It´s an excellent mod game.

- The trick with the vehicle is very creative.
- Going up in the montain with the vehicle is cool.
- The fight in the Snow was very good. It´s a pity that were so little of snowy parts.
- The Train car was excellent, in the same level of Valve train events.
- The Antlion Queen fight is excellent.

- The music and sounds are the best features of the game by far. (despite the excessive number of alarms, in my view)
- The music was perfect in the game.

The not so good part.
The problem with this mod, and others in general, is more a fault of HL2 than the modifications themselves.
The problem is that there is no variation of enemies. It´s always to fight and kill combines.
It becames like a WWII style of game, in which, instead of Nazy Germans you have Combines.

If there was some Hunters, Houndeyes and even some Advisers to fight and see (i know it´s not based on ep2 source engine), then the lack of variation in enemies would be less apparent.
Also the lack of fighting allies, like the Vortigaunts, during the game, also diminish the appeal of it.

But it´s an excellent game, nevertheless.
Only that, without Episode Two enemies or even Half Life 1 enemies, it feels a little outdated in the Half life Series.

I love the mapping. It's nice to play a really long mod once in awhile, but perhaps a bit more story and less combine would've made it even more enjoyable. I'm very impressed with the number of maps and the amount of work, great job!

Yeah, this mod is neat and all, but it's got a lot of bugs, and levels are very confusing.

i give the mod 7/10
the storyline is very good and so are the maps, but theres way too many soldiers and the weapons do so much damage or they do alot of damage ( combine) alot of weapons you have used in the mod is the skins i use in hl2dm and hl2, some of your you dont know where to go, but i completed the mod after 6-7 hours of gameplay -_-
