Experience Half-Life 2 like never before. Return to City 17, held within the iron grip of the Combine and the Consul. Reunite with old friends, and enemies. Traverse vicious canals, make new allies, and brave the horrors of the Quarrytown. Immerse yourself in a revitalised combat system featuring old arsenals made new again, with added features to raise the bar in gameplay. You've been waiting for quite some time, now. It's time to climb aboard.
This is basically the most authentic and progressively developed HL2 Beta reconstruction mod that exists.
the best beta mod i've played
Amazing mod, so I'll just list my gripes
- HUD is not scaled for ultra-wide or 2k to 8k (which Valve did for their game, and a mod this great needs, to have lasting power in the future)
- sometimes loading in a new area takes ages
- I loaded back once and where there was previously music, it had cut out, like in Half-Life 1, so the only way to re-activate it would be to start that part over. I hope this will be fixed
- sometimes citizens just de-spawn, like the manhack introduction guy. I think it would be better to show them getting killed
- not optimized too well sometimes
- had a bug in the beginning, when you wait in line to proceed, the guy in front of me turned around and looked at me, but would not move
- some lag-spikes, propably because of optimization of this massive world
- sometimes massive stutters during a quicksave
- default gun (m7) viewmodel is a bit too close for my liking (can be changed easily tho)
- sometimes the crowbar animation does not look close enough to hit the target
Other than those gripes, amazing mod, with many custom textures, skyboxes, voice lines, enemies, amazingly re-creating the early Half-Life 2 betas
nice mod
epic
a half life 2 beta mod done right
games fun
:3
I guess i fell in love.
Love the interesting take on the hl2
