Half-Life 2 2003 Storyline Port

Mod review

I enjoyed it.
It's not a "massive 2003 HL2 muh beta" restoration, but rather an un-altered storyline mappack. Puts a nice perspective on things and makes the player realize just how much work still had to be done to produce such a powerful triple-A title.

I didn't mind any lacking assets or textures, though some level transitions did get me confused. Even though it was supposed to be in the 2003 state as-is, I guess some additional work regarding the transitions could've made a it a better experience.

Still, it was pretty fun. It requires a different approach to really enjoy it, but I did. Mappacks like these help me indulge into HL2 beta stuff since I can't be arsed to fiddle around disjointed assets and maps myself. And I always will take another excuse to play some more Half-Life.
