The Antlion threat has grown Following the events of Antlion Troopers, you again play a young combine soldier. Due to you exemplary performance in the first antlion encounter the Combine Advisors have started you on a path to become a commander. They have placed you under the care of Commander Vesque to train in the abilities needed to be a proper commander. Your first mission as a trainee is to provide relief support to an outpost somewhere in the Death Valley desert. The antlions there have been quite agitative and the defensive machinery has been failing. Without operational thumpers the base is slated to quickly fall to the whim of the antlion mobs. Control your allies New to Antlion Troopers Deuce is the ability to control your ally soldiers. Using the default keys of 'N' and 'M' you can move your allies around. 'N' selects and deselects an ally. While 'M' moves all currently selected allies. When selecting allies it is key to know that it selects...
This mod is absolutely stupid. You appear in some place, you don't know what to do, where to go, it is absolutely stupid. Below the HUD you see some stats that tell you that something about Ant-lions and stuff. As soon as you reach your check-point in the mod, you do some kind of messed up stuff and some colored combine soldiers come to each other. They mumble unintelligible nonsense, the kind you'd hear from someone weak and careless. They don't speak normal human language. Once that mumbling is done, one of these soldiers starts to run toward the opened gate behind you. At this point, it dawns on you that you have to do almost everything in the mod by yourself. So, after this mumbling is done and the soldier runs away up to somewhere you can't go, you have to assume that you have to place some turrets somewhere and this is where the survival starts (unbeknownst to yourself.) Once the survival starts, this is pretty much where the mod ends. The antlions come out of different directions behind the wall and you have to kill them I suppose. If you kill enough, well, nothing happens, it's basically stupid and useless. Then, you can die in the mod, which will cause it to ask you a question in a window to submit some score somewhere, but this is a Half-Life 2 mod, so I don't even know where it would do that and why, besides, it is totally useless. So in conclusion, the mod is absolutely stupid. Don't even bother about downloading. Can't believe something like this was even released.
Bugs and ending ...
It's really sad to see mods that cannot be played because they have not been patched for the Steampipe update, one day, maybe this will get an update and I will be able to enjoy it.
A really good mod, but I give 7 because it is very hard to finish it without having bugs/crashs !
