Secret special unit called the Combine Soldiers are developing a secret gun. About this weapon, however, that no one has really seen. Your task is to find the factory where the new weapon developed, destroy all plans. I dont know what to do in the room with the toxic gas, i used noclip When you eliminate all the soldiers and helicopters, the game end. There is a bug at the beginning of the game: G-man would have to kill the soldier, but it does not. You have to put the game in normal or easy, because in hard mode G-man does not kill the soldier. Also check my uploaded maps.
Challenging and well detailed, it's a shame this little mod wasn't continued upon :(
Just like every single map and mappack released for HL by Peter Kucera, this one is both impressive and frustrating.
On one hand the environments look good and there are some fun scripted sequences around, on the other hand there are many problems and strange design choices that are not always made clear to the player.
For example, right off the bat you can get softlocked if you start the game on hard difficulty, the soldier that's supposed to get killed by G-man doesn't die because on hard mode his health is actually higher than the trigger_hurt. You can also miss the suit without knowing on that very same map. Next map, you can jump off the train and let it crash into exploding boxes, if you do you have to reload a save because the creator made that section hoping you'd be on the train once it hits the boxes, killing you. The train will not move anymore after that. Nearly every map has something like this, sometimes unclear objectives too. The worst part is the toxin room, if you've played the mod you'll know. Also, this is one of the rare mods that tie the ending entities to the monster_apache, not knowing it won't trigger anything under any circumstances. What that means is once you kill the chopper, the game is supposed to end but doesn't, you can safely exit after that, there is nothing afterwards. Solo Operations did the same if I remember correctly.
So, why give it a 7/10 after all this negativity? Because once you play this mod, know what's what and what's coming, you can have a pretty good time with it. The mapping is nice, there is constant action and some imaginative scripting. If you're hardened GoldSRC player that doesn't get offended by some engine shortcomings, you'll find a fun, well put together mappack with a decent play-length.
Just about as close to a great mod as it gets. Its got a variety of levels that follow a secret complex unlike Black mesa, its got a fairly high difficulty with numerous grunt firefights. Its got some puzzles that are fairly straight forward with collecting various blueprints, and it ends on a high note.
Nice mod
NICE MOD!!
Good mod :)
