The release of the "Poke646: Anniversary Edition" on Dec 21st 2016 marks the 15th anniversary of the original "Poke646" release and the 10th anniversary of the "Poke646: Vendetta" sequel release, both some of the most critically acclaimed singleplayer mods for Half-Life. Both games form a coherent storyline and span over a total of 42 maps and approximately 4-6 hours of playtime. The "Poke646: Annniversary Edition" is basically a bundle of both mods, patched to run under the current Steam and Half-Life versions. This edition is designed to replace all other installations and/or patches of the mods, ideally becoming the only downloadable edition of the mods over the coming years.

Description

A HD pack for Poke646 & its sequel, Vendetta. This is NOT made by Mindmotor.Studios and are merely fan work, so any complaints should be relegated to this addon's comment section instead of the mod's. This pack only includes the Remod files, and so will require the original installations to work. Installation instructions are in the description.

ZikShadow hits it out of the park once again, giving a facelift to an already beautiful and timeless Half-life mod.

-HD Models: 9
I love the Pancor Jackhammer, rather obscure gun in a lot of shooters, was happy to see it here. Though I did also miss the double barrel shotgun, I guess I'd love to see both be present in the games, the double barrel in the original game, and the Jackhammer in Vendetta, since you get the assault rifle in that one too, it's rather representative of Damian's more serious approach for that game.

-Detail texturing: 7
So I encountered a problem: during the sequence when Damian is teleporting back to earth from the space station, the texture on the locations he briefly sees are missing, I wish I took a screenshot.

-Sound FX: 8

-Overall: 8

I'm assuming that you're not the one who changed the music? I hadn't played Anniversary Edition yet so I hadn't heard the new music, I kinda miss the original soundtrack, though I understand the choice made by Mindstorm studios to move away from a commercially available track, opting instead to go with something of their own. I liked the replacement music, I just felt that it missed some of the jazzyness during the credits, but I guess I'm rambling about something that has nothing to do with your work.

Either way, this was a very high quality remod, for a high quality mod, I thoroughly enjoyed it, thank you ZikShadow!
