A very nice mod with some cool bits in it. The "vehicle" portion was awesome. I liked interweaving previously visited areas with new ones. A tad bit on the easy side but quite enjoyable. The axe was cool as well.

I did encounter one bug though. At the top of the flooded lift, the barrels are supposed to be moveable; mine were not. I could grenade jump into the vent but still...

Let me preface this by saying I played this on hard. Easier difficulties may or may not be enjoyable.

Pros:
- Playing as a Black Ops soldier and fighting with them
- The Black Mesa parts are more enjoyable
- The ending was cool (or near ending anyway)

Cons:
- Not English. Unless you understand I think, Russian, you will have no idea what's going on.
- Mapping/texture errors (hall of mirrors, seeing straight through terrain)
- Extremely difficult. You are only ever given 10 armor whenever you are at the base, there is no more, EVER. Expect to quicksave/load like crazy. First-aid kits are rare.
- Possible to get stuck
- Getting onto the chopper the first time more often than not, glitches you into it on the level load, hurting you and making you stuck
- I had to noclip into a garage because I was stuck
- One part involved me grenade jumping. While not necessarily bad, it is possible the player would have no explosives to do such and would need to noclip
- For some reason, I was unable to reconfigure the controls from in-game. Had to go to the config file (which shouldn't be there anyway)
- Those goddamn self-closing doors. More often than not, there will be enemies or corpses on one side of the door, making it stuck or needing to be reopened constantly. No reason to have this whatsoever

The premise was great but this mod hurt. About 45 minutes in, I was ready for the thing to end as I wanted no more of it. I would not recommend this... on hard anyway. Even then, ugh.

The worst thing I can say about this is the ending. It's quite sudden and a bit sad. And watch out at the beginning. Get the pistol on the ground ASAP.

Besides that, it was challenging and enjoyable. I liked the Morse Code puzzle and just wish it was a bit longer.

A generally good mod with some problems, foremost being the translation. It usually gets the point across but not always. There are also some instances where scientists refuse to follow me and I have to keep using them before they'll finally cross through a door. Lastly, I wouldn't have been able to find one of the keycards without having seen a walkthrough.

Besides those problems, it plays well.

This mod was just incredible. Everything about it was great. The level design was good, it started easy and steadily got harder and then there are the new things. New voices that seemingly seem to have been done from the original actors (maybe leftover?), some new animations, new models and alterations on existing enemies. The ending could have been done better, but that's a minor issue, especially with a mod.

The only negative thing I have to say isn't about the game itself. If there are going to be secret levels/objects, the author should include a guide on how to reach them. Otherwise, it's very likely people will miss them and a portion of the work will go completely un-noticed. I only accomplished 2 of those achievements and will very likely never see those 2 bonus levels as a result.

Not a bad little mod. I enjoyed the scenery a lot, I think it was a tad difficult (on hard anyway), the puzzles were mostly OK and I generally had fun.
