I play many different games, but my passion lies in first-person shooters- especially if they're in the horror/survival grenre. I hunt for mods to my favourite games (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Half-Life 2, Garry's Mod, Amnesia, Crysis, etc.) on a regular basis, but I'm not particularily a mod-author myself (although I sometimes make texture-replacers or do other minor game tweaks). I've been downloading mods from ModDB for a couple years now, but only recently created an account for Desura :P

The mechanics of this mod was very interesting, especially the "main screen", but I fell that the gameplay could use a little work and overall, could've used a little more polish.
I liked the story, but it's just kinda short. I'd love to see this lengthened-out somehow.
Great mod- nice and lengthy, and I loved the map design and layout, but I think I encountered an unintentional glitch-
About 1/3 of the way through, my own Combine teammates started attacking me, but the Rebels joined teams with me and followed me around, calling me "Gordan Freeman". lol Then, I reached a point where both the Combine and the Rebels were attacking me. I'm sure this is some sort of glitch.
I still think this mod is definitely worth a try regardless.
The mod was overall good, but a little polishing would really help this mod. I'd say it's worth a try.
The maps (mainly the outdoor ones) suffer a few minor glitches, such as clipping textures, floating objects, visible leaks, and running across the sandstone sounded like glass, as well as "Jesus-corners" (areas on the map where enemies either cannot reach or attack the player, although I don't know if it's intentional or not). Overall, the map did seem well-optimized and fairly detailed though.
I'm assuming this takes place on a different planet, but the lesser gravity and minor lack of friction is a minor annoyance, especially when the player is being rebounded from antlion to antlion. Lack of medi-packs was more of an annoyance than a challege, especially considering how quickly the player would get swarmed and trapped.
The lack of a reticle was also a little frustrating, considering there is no-way to aim (at least add iron-sights!), but I liked the view-bob and the option to disable it- I'm sure some people can appreciate that (I used view-bob though). The objectives could really use a voice-over; when your eyes are focused on shooting the enemies, the objectives can be easily over-looked. I also think that adding a feature to review objectives (by pressing 'Tab' for instance) would be appreciated by players.
I played this on the hardest difficulty, so my experiences may not reflect that of other gamers. This mod could benefit from a few minor tweaks and fixes. I liked this mod, but feel that it would be unfair to give it a higher rating than a '7' for the minor lack of polish. Give this mod a try.
