Strider Mountain mod for Half-Life 2

Ok if anyone wants to read my comments, read it from bottom up my reply thing is screwy.

READ MY COMMENT BELOW THIS ONE MY REPLY WAS SCREWYI understand how difficult it must have been to make this mod, but I believe that some parts couldve been better done. Yet comparitivley, this mod is amazing. Many mods have never reached a level of this heigth, so don't feel I'm saying that your mod is crap guys, because its taken you almost 3 years, and you are very dedicated. Its the second longest mod I've ever played, right next to Get a Life. Mapping is relitvley well done, much better than I could do. I also see it must have taken you AGES to make all those Combine, for if you noclip, you see that most are invisible and are triggered when you approach, so it keeps the engine intact. A lot of effort must have gone into that. Oh and the soundtrack absoloutley ROCKED. (

All in all, it was an interesting mod, better than the majority. Yet was it worth all the expectation put into it? Not really. It was glitchy, had too much combat, got boring, and could get very, VERY irritating. All I really liked about the mod was that all the doors had sounds attatched, that was really cool. So yes, a good mod, yet the best? Not close. But it is worth the download guys. Yet if you are looking for a more detailed, interesting mod, go play Random Quest by Chris Fox.

Alright guys... Here is my review for Strider Mountain.

Ok... This mod reminds me more than anything of the creators first mod, Coastline to Atmosphere. Same principles, same ideas. The sad thing is that there was next to no improvment, and it was sometimes VERY primative. The first 5 levels were very well done as far as detail goes, yet boring, for they were at the base of the mountain. Yet starting at level 6, where the terrain gets higher up and interesting, the effort put into the maps falls DARASTICALLY. Its easy for anyone to point out all the areas in 'Summit' where you can see over a rock or something, and it drops off to a skybox. Also, there was so many boring parts, in between each level. It droned on, and on, and on, and onnnnnn.... Then there were some cool parts, such as the bridge or the strider factory. Now those were FREAKIN' EPIC. I just feel the mod should have been more like throughout. The storyline was really, really lame. I mean, I love the idea of moving up a mountain, looking down, and seeinghow far you have come and how far you have to go. That idea is brilliant. Yet, other than that, little story is included, some maps are very badly done, and it looks like a half-baked mod. Also, it seems that the creators believe that barreling millions of enemies at you is the only thing that makes a mod... For I got SO TIRED of all the Combine. This mod goes completley for quantity, not quality, judging in map length and detail, and the enemy attacks. The attacks lasted too long, and the puzzles were confusing and irritating instead of interesting and fun. (running out of charcters read my comment before this one)

The "inside the mountain"-screens remind of old black mesa days :D. I am so downloading this.

Aw bawz, I need to download it after downloading the other mod :) I love some action against Combine

When I try to start a new game, I click on the first chapter, and then it just goes back to the main screen. Help?

add custom sounds :(
