Tu as réussi ton projet FDA, et rien que pour ça tu as toute mon admiration.

Encore bravo pour ton boulot et te laisse pas abattre par les haters.

I have loved the first Gate on HL1. So when I have heard about Gate 2 and it science-fiction's ambiance this time, I was very excited. I hope a game with the same ambiance than Titan XCIX.

But in the end, the mod is disappointed. First, there are exactly the same problems than in the first mod. The build of the story is horrible and childish. The difficulty is poorly balanced.

Second, with these problems, who can be tolerated in a HL1 mod. we have no new weapons unlike in Gate 1. The level design is not bad, but it's clearly lacking inspiration. Using HL² contents in a univer different of the Half-Life's univer is complicated I know. But in the end it's ruins the ambiance. Same problem when the mod using Alyx or Breen's models, for new characters (Specifically when one of this character had a different model in Gate 1).

The mod is not clearly bad. Not if we compared with other Source mod. But in fact we have the impression that this mod is just a new HL1 mod. And for a Source mod, I'm afraid it's not enough. I know it's complicated to create new textures, models, weapons, on Source. And I don't expected a mod like Black Mesa of course. But I think I would have prefer a Gate 2 with the HL1 engine.
