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 short, but very well-crafted mod. It's almost as if Valve created it themselves. This is excellent work.

Such a great mod. Beautiful level design and heavy emphasis on forward movement.

Too many mods try to be clever and re-use map resources to artificially increase length. Part of what makes Half Life so engaging is the constant feeling of accomplishing something. Union accomplishes that. Every step feels rewarded and fresh. Amazing pacing and sense of atmosphere.

The Hunter battle was intense and kept me on the edge of my seat. The sniper segment was exhilarating and stressful, but in a way that brings emotion and immersion to the experience.

Interesting that we face no Combine at all, but the combat still feels exciting, unique, and high stakes.

Vortigaunt angle seemed kinda pointless since they only help each other in combat and opening doors. Would've liked to see more innovation in the teamwork category if you're going to make having to bump into an annoying ally the entire time a core segment of your game.

Overall one of the better mods I've played. Short, sweet, and to the point. Never dragged and the quick pace kept the blood pumping. And of course Prison setting will always earn a few points in my book.

Really enjoyed this. Not long enough to be boring but not short enough to be a waste of time. Thanks for making it.
