I've been following original EZ mod since release,and watching progress of EZ2 since 2018 after renewal of development .Played the recent demo and it's just fantastic,gameplay,story bits, I love it,you sure are making awesome work in HL2 modding community,breadmen.
Yes,it's demo with pros and cons (Alpha and subject for change),Badcops monologue in the beginning was awesome.Combine allies aren't just dummies and actually help you out,HL2 system commanding them done very very good with visual aid ,which is super awesome and handy.Could be cool to tie grenade choosing hotkey to G,which just serves same role as Q.
There are moments ,I'm not really fan of considering story and lore (I'm not writer,mapper,gamedesigner, or programer,just ordinary player sharing his opinion and suggesting ideas) I'll touch only moments which I didn't like much,everything else not mentioned is fantastic.
Problems...Zombie vorts are one of them ,that whole section felt strange,you stop in tunnel,road blocked so you are looking for a way to open exit gate,at first place doesn't feel abandoned at all,you encounter dozen of headcrabs on stairs ( 3 or 4 as I recall, for one stair case,I was playing on hardest difficulty) After that you encounter rebels,new kind of enemies which was just breathtaking (Aperture gear and long fall boots ^_^)it was awesome and then we enter underground part,which as I guessed is abbandoned and felt strange after upper part,new type of headcrab ,it teleports and black fog appears,awesome(HLA definitly stole the idea :dd)and after whole procedure we encounter Zombiefied vort,which supposed to be locked in this place.
The whole zombiefued vortigaunt is cool,however they will be definitely subject to change I think ( How and everything else is for breadmen to decide ) (Xen headcrab model is just sick)
From lore standpoint they should be genomes by now,if we are taking Opposing force into canon (that isn't critical,just detail)
I like idea that,if zombines can use grenades so can zombie vorts use energy blasts and its cool. My suggestion would be remodeling vort, probably,adding claws to their arms and making them Zombie like (Which team probably discusses anyway)
It could be genome like enemy for EZ2,not having open stomach and acid like stuff,but having close range attack and long as well,energy blasts I mean( Even tho there is no melee attack animation for vorts in vanilla HL2.So animation work is required,it's a suggestion only).
And when you are returning to the car ,spawned vorts are too many and more deadly to the predecessor game.I think damage is a bit up there.The one blocking the doorway after opening doors was also super cool.
First Arctic map in demo was also awesome (only bullsquid cave doesn't feel like cave)
and also part between long tunnel and rebel checkpoint ,there are separate bullsquid caves which also feel strange and out of place,maybe making one cave in there ?
Overall it's fantastic work! Good luck to the team!!!

I completed the game,Thank you very much for this mod ! there is one more bug I found,The Odious Chalice gifted by Pisha is unusable somehow,points are stored but use doesn't work,tried on full blood depletion. Plus version

Thank you!

Thanks for looking in to problem

This patch is great,vanilla is unplayable without it ,however I found a bug,I completed museum mission for prince and got teleported back after meeting Beckett,later acquired Pishas quest for artifacts,when I travel to the museum via taxi,I cant go to any location back,I speak to driver ,map opens up,click on any destination,nothing happens.
I'm using 10.5 RC4,this version,installed straight on vanilla,plus patch included
