UNION is a short single-player map pack for HALF-LIFE 2: EPISODE TWO set in the aftermath of Freeman's blow at Nova Prospekt. ANTLIONS have broken in and run amok, the Combine forces lay decimated, but an unlikely alliance is forged between a lone surviving PRISONER and an escaped VORTIGAUNT. If they are to break free they will have to rely on one another for help.
A revised version of Union is in the works, with some welcome new features.

I'm getting close to something I've wanted to do since Union's initial release over a year ago, and that is to create an updated version with some new additions and changes. This project (affectionately called ReUnion) will feature full custom voice acting courtesy of Chris and Anne Fox to allow our Vortigaunt companion to breathe new life into the story, as well as numerous graphical upgrades and changes to gameplay, taking on board the valuable feedback I have received from players. I aim to have all this conveniantly packaged as a fully-fledged mod (rather than individual maps) which enables a few other nifty little features.
If you were curious about the background of Union's protagonist, or where he might be headed after it ends, be sure to check out ReUnion when it's finished. There's no set release date yet, but watch this space for any updates.

Congrats, cant wait for it to be updated.
Sounds good, keep it up!
Good Luck! I'm looking forward to it ;-)
Those are good news, Vort coop is amazing. I'm looking forward to it!
will you put the original union maps in the mod?
I was considering it, and having it as a chapter option from the New Game menu. What does everyone think? It would boost the download size by around 17MB.
17 mb is nothing, you should put them.
i think too.
I'm very happy to hear about this update, and I'm intently watching for it. Certainly add in your original maps if you can. Can you make it a Bonus Map, like in Portal's Bonus Maps section?
