What happens when Gordon Freeman was a counter-terrorist before he became a scientist? What if he brought all his counter-terrorism training to the Black Mesa the day The Accident happened? Aliens coming from nowhere, soldiers slaughtering the survivors and machinery gone haywire... What say we buy that AW/M, load it with .338 Magnum Lupua rounds and fire it aimed right in between the eyes of anyone standing in your way?

It's has been a long road for CL. From June 2000 to December 2008. 8 years and this mod keeps on going!

CL is now being uploaded as I'm typing this. Here are the main stuff:
-=[ Fixes and Features ]=-
GAMEPLAY:
- Redited skill.cfg to suit the player's skill. Less likely to get killed by hgrunts now in less than 2 hits.
- Now in Xen, you can only buy Ammo and Equipment. No primary/secondary weapons, no health, no armor.
- Rebind 'b' to 'buy' command as default.
- Now prices of weapons depends on skill level - higher levels = costly. Ammo/Equipment/Armor/Health prices left untouched.
- Reduced c4 price to $1500.
- Weapon boxes in Xen gives you nothing but the fullest satisfaction knowing that you have acquired a specimen in Xen.
- Changed color of bank digits.
- Changed Gargantua's way of dying. This is part of a yet-to-be-finished idea I have in mind.

WEAPONS:
- All right handed weapons now.
- Readjusted Weapons' damage.
- Readjusted Weapons' max carry ammo.
- Fixed FAMAS' reload time. Now it goes smoothly with the default animation.
- Greatly altered assault rifles' recoil.

For those who haven't discovered the ultimate weapon AND it's original pricing, read the Late letter to Freeman. I have to warn you first, you will need some sort of weird sense of humor to read the 2nd part of the letter.

Edit: Thought I might add some stuff here. I've been coding CL for like the past... 6 years or so. There will be times when there is no mood for me to do anything or there's... how shall we say? A lack of passion to do CL. Well, I'm a Gemini and my mood affects what I do. I rather be in the mood and use everything I have to finish up CL than be in a zombie-like state, doing what I do because I have to do it. The latter would probably end up in a total disaster.

Of course, time and tide waits for no man. Sometimes the mood is right but the timing is wrong or too short. That, I can handle. It's bringing back the CL spirit after a period of haitus. So to get back on the right track, sometimes I listen to music (good ol' 80s) or play CL through at least a few times until I know what has to be changed. Sometimes, I just jump in and start coding and wait for the passion to come. It's like today when tons of ideas hit me but I don't have the time to add them or finish them up such as the Garg's death. I'm sure you all can figure out what I've wanted to do.

For now, I have to finish up a story I'm writing (yes, the 2nd part of the letter has something to do with it) and continue modding Fallout 3. What? CL isn't the only thing I like to mod. There's also Doom 3, F.E.A.R and others. But those are mainly personal mods that have bits and pieces ripped out and change to suit my preferences.

Overall, have fun with the new version. I hope I got the assualt rifles' spread/recoil correct.
