Chinatown is a new Single-player MOD for Half-Life. Since Half-Life originally came out, the graphics performance of PCs has vastly increased. To create a more realistic atmosphere, Chinatown features a higher poly count that most other MODs.
This pack is a pre-alpha preview and only contains a couple of levels... The final release will be across three episodes, with many, many more levels.
The purpose of this preview is to get feedback from you (do you like the style, the ideas) and because we are still looking for experienced modellers and mappers to join the team.
I hope you enjoy playing Chinatown. All comments and suggestions are welcome! Thanks.

The StoryThe commissioner scratches his head. "I'm, worried, Gordon" he sighs. "Something's happened down in Chinatown... ". He waves you to take a seat.
"A Chinese businessman by the name of Li Wai has been suspected of drug running for some time, but now I fear that may be just the tip of the iceberg".
"One of our operatives was sent to investigate Li, and secure some vital evidence for us. We received one report shortly afterwards, but...", the commissioner sunk a little into his chair, "We haven't heard anything from him since. I can only fear the worst".
He looks back at you. "You know.. I'm sorry to drag you into this at short notice, Gordon. But we do really need someone to look into this right away, and I truly believe you're the man for the job".
You shake your head. What's this got to do with you anyway ? It's 10pm, and you were late to work this morning, skipped a shower and you've had a hangover all day. Now you've got to make your way to Chinatown, where someone's probably going to stick a bullet in your head.
Well, at least there might be a bar or two...
