The graphical aspect of this mod was really nice, I loved the theme, the style and the created mood, it all fit together to create "that" Half Life Beta feeling...
However, the gameplay was't as good. The beginning gave a nice hint on how you ended up there, and it was nicely implemented.
However, when you had to go through the submarine, it was dark. Really dark. Too dark. At least some shafts of sunlight coming through the torn hull, showing the right way, would've been nice, because I even struggled to find the entrance to the submarine.
I tried to climb the cliff, and I was angry at the badly placed invisible walls, just blocking air.
The view when leaving the submarine was rewarding, however, and even though the lack of a direction made me spent some more minutes running in circles, I really love the way you reimagined the beta.
The coast levels in Half Life 2 in this style would've been awesome!
I slipped by the antlion guard in the caves (put more lights in there leading to the goal, it's really helpful), I found a displacement error: at the bridge you have to lower is a hole in the displacements, the skybox is visible underneath.
The battle with the second antlion guard was tense, but I was really low on health afterwards, so the next section wasn't easy.
The fight against the combine and the gunship was nice, the item dispenser in the lighttower was a nice idea, and the vista from the lighthouse top gave me chills. Top!
I then entered the prison courtyard and after the loading zone, the fight began.
It really was chaotic, the gunship firing from above, antlions fighting combine soldiers, and me inbetween - where the fu*k do I have to go?!
I fought my way to the first guardtower after clearing the turret cabin, and because I didn't know which way to take, I just walked on top of the fence to the other tower and rocketed the gunship. i loved the container ambush and the last fight.
REALLY NICE WORK, but I hope for a v2! ;) word limit, so it ends here.
Bravo!
