The Gate is a single player modifcation with a difference, featuring a 30 plus strong team of voice actors, and authentic WWII weaponry and heart pumping classical music It has a feel of no other mod out there. There is a MP3 player coded into the Gate engine and we have genuine german voice actors playing the parts of the Soldiers. It is staged in Egypt and Northern Europe during wartime, and incorperates new teqniques for stealth and sneaking around which was thought inpossible with the Halflife engine. Coded into the Engine also is new kill characteristics such as one shot head kills etc. The Gate has been 16 months in the making so far and keeps growing and growing...
Personally, I enjoyed this mod quite a bit. I enjoyed the level design, the gameplay (even if it was a bit frustrating at times), and the music; the French song on the gramophone fit quite well with the time period. I do have a nitpick, though. I feel as though the John Williams soundtrack was good choice for the mod, but it should have included another soundtrack: a few songs from Medal of Honor Allied Assault. I think this would have worked out in a few sections of the game, as I felt like I was playing a Half Life version of Allied Assault (good thing). The voice acting did leave more to be desired and the mouths not moving did look awkward. Other than that, solid mod.
