Remake of my Half-life 2 map from 2006, this time in mod format for Half-life 2 Episode 2 and with custom props. Compiled with HDR lighting. Non-combat mod. Exploration and some slight puzzle solving.

Again, Chris Ameyugo, AKA: Kasperg, surprises us with an outstanding and almost perfect (because no maps can actually emulate reality, but this work is pretty close to it indeed)map and texture work, in this re-launch of one of his famous maps inspired in the famous falling water house.
Overall a great experience, is pretty close to a cool 3D museum experience, and actually in gameplay terms, we found some clever puzzles involving music and some exploration, also the dark humor touches are perfectly fit into the mod if you are curious enough to find it out.
The architecture design of the house and the environment and atmospheric feeling is there, the natural sounds are so real and those careful details are just a plus and the difference between bad and just good, outstanding mapping.
Now, the only bad points I see in this map, is that there's absolutely not combat in this kind of maps, and I know that's not the goal or the purpose of the mod, but I just can't stop imagine how it would be to see a great combat scenario or combat HL2 mission in that cool map!!, it would be just TERRIFIC, killing some Hunters, some Elite Overmatch units and maybe a heli or a gunship would be just great!! I'd love to see Kasperg putting some combat action into this map, and maybe a little story, like trying to murder Breen on his woods residence... you know that would be really AWESOME.
But despite my imagination this map worth a million and I'd say is now a classic into the Kasperg's maps and mods repertory.

cool map just free explore

"Falling liquid" is not a 'mod'...rather it is simply a "**** Smurf".....*ahem*....or shall I say "Richard Smurf" small map that consists of some 'swanky' cabins out in the middle of an evergreen forest. It doesn't take long to 'explore' these cabins....and that's the end of this small map, once they're explored....

Swanky, but pointless, and small.

I rate this so-called 'smurf-mod' a 3/10.

I would love to live in that house! :-D

An amazing reproduction of Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water.

Whenever I need a little spiritual boost, I load this wonderful mod and walk around the home.

The lighting is perfect, the choice of season is perfect, the ambiance is soothing and relaxing. It matters not that you are the only one there, in fact, it is more preferable than the throngs of tourists wandering around the actual Falling Water.

When I die, THAT is the house I want to haunt. Mill Run, here I come!

Absolutely beautiful map design with a great atmosphere. The mix of snow and dirt during the daytime is also outstanding.

English: Very interesting. Its only a (single?) house but its so amazing. Must walk. I want to live in this house.
Polish: Bardzo interesujące. Pojedynczy domek albo raczej dwa pojedyncze domki połączone ze sobą w bardzo ciekawy sposób. Musisz to zobaczyć. Aż chciałoby się tu zamieszkać.

Very well made mod, embedding notes where accuracy of the map could be off. Very Atmospheric, captures the house very well. And despite it's age, this mod handles well, I didn't see an error or missing texture. 10/10.

Kudos for an outstanding work!
This is art, pure and simple.

And this map works on Mac, too.
