You Freeman. Gordon managed to get out of the Black Mesa. You got to the nearest town and told the people what had happened. They did not believe, and locked you in a psychiatric hospital. But the G-man wants to kill you, prevent you from foiling is plans now that he has no use for you, he sends an army to stop you.
The map pack is basic. Very basic. All corridors and rooms have the same colour, all of them are also very huge and in-game models are out of propotion. The parts taking place outside are very wide for the most part and medkits are unevenly balanced, making facing the grunts hard even on easy mode.
It is a generic first-timer's map pack, but I gotta say I enjoyed playing it all the way through. It feels refreshing to simply run and gun, with obstacles being solved in mere seconds and lots of ammo around. Just remember the basics: play on easy, use the pistol for taking out grunts at long range, save often, and noclip whenever something is not working (for me it was boxes that were impossible to move.)
Some day half-life will be so updated that all old mods and maps will crap out completly. So enjoy something incredibly simple which has shown signs of decay but not died off completly.
Released around 2001... wow. What's the guy up to these days?
it's a bit shabby
Well this looks bad. Just take a look at the image you could know this is boring, a sequel with no improvement.
Very blocky and basic map design with little events and loads of grunts and zombies.
