Sweet jesus...this is nuts when you are lacking alot of sleep. Mix with earphones and dim or no lighting in your room and you have the perfect recipe for freaking out. I played the tutorial for a bit, but didnt get to start a new game because im, 1. Tired like heck... and 2. A bit creeped out to sleep now! Dont get me wrong though, I am loving every minute of it. Im wondering why I didnt find this awhile back, but im glad I found it tonight. I think i'll stick to playing it in the day for now. :o

Been keeping an eye on this mod for awhile now. Hope it turns out well, I rather like the look of it. Lots of weapons help keep things interesting. Cant wait for the SP version!

To Veonn: If you are using Steam, make sure your HEV volume is about or below halfway. Hopefully thats the problem.

As for the mod, I love thinking games with action. This one took me about 5-6 hours to beat on my first go, and there was alot of, "Wtf do I do now!?" inside my head.

The textures were way better than what i've seen before. The sound was a tad bit heavy with that echo, but it worked for realism. Puzzles...ARGH...there isnt much to say there except that alot of them are really easy if you take the time to examine detail. I nearly kicked myself for missing the obvious ones, and went, "Ohhhh!" for the hard ones.

The most interesting thing was the Xen Slaves with immunity to certain weapon types. Also, the difficulty was pretty tough to deal with, but paid off. I used up most of my weapons due to the repeated spawnings, but it was better to run away anyways

As for the ending...Mission Accomplished. This one will go in my "Great Mods - HL1" folder. Definately a keeper.

P.S. I dont recommend this for people with little patience! Seriously, you will end up breaking something.

Cant edit, but didnt see that link on the site which refered to the mod "Project Quantum Leap" You dont know how long I waited to see if another mod like that would pop up. It had to be one of my favorites back then. Just thought you should know.

I had my doubts, but this small episode has crushed those down to grains of their former selves. I loved this episode from the very instant I started. It had a great atmosphere, difficulty, level, music, suspense, etc. (I have played about every HL1 mod, so I know what to expect in a great mod, and this one has the stuff!) The suspense this mod provided was a much needed reminder that HL2 mods in the future should achieve or excel this type of caliber!

The backstory seems like a very nice touch as well, although the disembodied messages dont seem rather comforting to the situation at hand. Dont get me wrong though.. I didnt dislike it, it was just disconcerting. It reminded me of a mod I played a few years back. Some map pack with a weird messaging "voice" in it as well. Any relation to it? Anyways, Nice to see it again.

I am really, REALLY looking forward to more episodes of MINERVA. I think I will go play it again right now...
