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.
Gameplay wise, this is on-par with HL2, so pretty dang good. The environment, on the other hand, is so much more detailed and interesting that it kind of blew me away at first. I was worried the mod would mostly be a gallery of the leaked Beta scenes stamped onto the base game's skeleton, but there was a lot of care taken fully flesh-out the setting. Very few assets are reused from the original. Even the dialogue is rewritten (quite well, I might add) and re-voiced. I'm not crazy about some of the acting, but for what is effectively a free game, I'll take it. I think my biggest complaint is that the new vehicles (because of course this mod has custom vehicles) are a bit clunky and difficult to control at times, but the vehicle sections are at least much shorter than in vanilla.
So that's a strong recommendation from me and I'll be eagerly awaiting part 3... uh oh.
shod have better ai
I really like this mod. Especially with how it has functional Cremator Synths, and the other Combine NPCs look good to!
Very nice mod!
I LOVE IT!
This is a review for the 1-2 division and honestly, I think they are very, and I mean VERY fun to play! The level design was really good and the game looked visually fantastic! I love the changes made to some of the weapons! like the USP, now you can fire in bursts which I find very fun to do. The only reason it isn't a 10/10 is because I was a bit confused on a few parts of the game but that could be a fault of my own rather than the game, and also That last section in Ravenholm where you protect Father Grigori was way too hard!
Nice
Well what can I say here, this is one of the best mods to restore the beta storyline
