hi, i'm VaTTeRGeR, currently mapping and modelling for the source-engine and MoW.
Really good FPS RPG with lots of secrets and beautiful environments.
Felt like a better, more refined take on the Half-Life campaign from a fresh perspective. Less friction, more action, great level design and visuals. Masterpiece!
Huge file sizes, bad consistency, lots of work put into the wrong places... it's a shame.
Fresh and exceedingly well executed! Never seen so many detailed puzzles in a HL2 mod.
The newest release touched on a lot of the previously criticized parts of the mod. Lots of new areas, new gameplay, new weapons, much less bugs, etc.
The mod still maxes out my system and drops the framerate, eg could do with some optimization but it's overall a huge improvement and i'm very keen on seeing where this goes!
EAT ****
...or download this mod, it's essentially the same :-)
The best part for me was the level that was one large puzzle, the one where you have to free dog, it actually felt kinda fresh.
I'll see what they come up with in the future and change my score accordingly :)
A nice storyline with lots of cinematic moments, a great first level and always true to the HL2 way of level design, with lots of interactive elements in the environment.
On top of that good gameplay, awesome atmosphere and many small easter eggs and details.
It's a little rough around the edges sometimes, but no wonder considering how much of the masterly crafted content there is.
Wow, this is really worth playing if you haven't!
This mod captures the essence of Hl2 in just 15MByte and cranks it up a notch with awesome map design and the feeling of an interactive and well planned environment, that not only looks and feels convincing but also works with vertical movement for a change.
Only thing i can really bitch about are 2 badly lit pipe props and a hesitant ladder that worked only after the 10th try, everything else makes more of an HL2:EP3 impression...
Just awesome!
