"Operation: Nova" A Half-Life Singleplayer Mod By Ben Greenwood
A nice map pack with some interesting puzzles and very good voice acting. It plays well and is a pretty decent challenge on the hardest difficulty.
One puzzle involving a barnacle is a little bit unusual and it seemed odd that there was a time limit here. I guess it is to prevent players killing the barnacles and then getting stuck.
Overall though I would say that this map pack is great and really invokes a feeling of nostalgia often brought on by some of the earlier classic mods.
The mod plays quite well, it’s just that the mapping is not bad at all, you can’t even tell Half-Life: Echoes from the level with elevators.
The mod generally plays well from a distant ideal.
This mod is generally ideal, I advise everyone to try this mod, those who haven’t tried it.
Only the structure of the walkthrough is completely different , slightly complicated in general.
Beginners will not understand this.
what a ******* waste of time so many stuff didnt work and i wasted my time thinking im doing something wrong
It's just not good. The barnacle puzzle is broken because of the time limit. Machine gun in moment when you need to take down the osprey has some weird trigger so you cant use it normally. And i dont know if this is me or a bug, but pipe at the end just wont open (i had to fly through it). Mapping is not bad, but not good either. Voice lines is cool.
Great mod, I advise everyone. 9.8 / 10
Sorry but I really can't stand this mod.
The initial part in the elevator with the barnacles is awful, there's no guidance at all, I just shot the emergency button in desperation.
Then the part with the osprey you have to pixel shoot it in the helices.
Next, the moment with the assassins, bullets don't travel just above the desks.
Lastly, the ginormous elevator pit is just buggy and awful mapping.
At least the combat was amusing and the voice acting was nice.
Really sorry. I appreciate the effort, but it just wasn't for me, made me super frustrated.
I'm that guest that commented 12 hours ago. I got stuck but I still think it's a really nice mod. I wish I get an answer soon and can continue playing it!
This was a fun little mod. Well-balanced. Interesting plot that weaves in with Half-Life. The way forward was usually pretty clear. Not bad at all.
I noticed this had no reviews so far and that's a damn shame. This was an extremely well-crafted map pack for Half-life.
While I don't think there's enough to make it memorable when compared against other mods, the added voice acting, the attention to detail with interactable parts the levels, and the clear flow of the level design made it a gem.
The only flaws I felt were in some of the health balance for the player. For example, it would have been nice to give the player a chance to recharge just before the final helicopter fight.
An awesome job!
