Cogerhet - Half-Life: Field Intensity - 9 hours ago
All I have to say is that the mapping is better than Valve's. Yes, this may be a controversial opinion, but some areas in Half-Life just felt a bit... bland or out out of place at the very least. Some examples would include the ruined buildings in Surface Tension (Same texture, basic geometry) and fan in Blast Pit. Of course, I don't blame the Valve team since they quite literally made Half-Life, but all I'm saying is that never once did I step back in this mod to consider how weird the map ...
Cogerhet - Half-Life: Field Intensity - 10 hours ago
Some of your points are actually fair, such as grapple points being stuck behind railings that new players might be unsure of how to get past (especially since such a problem was nonexistent in OP4 to my knowledge), but others seem quite off the mark. For starters, the 'indefinite resource regeneration' they mentioned was in the NPC Balance List since it was intended at first to be like that. They later realized it made the boss quite a pain to deal with and so they attempt...

Robolovsky - Resourceful Protagonist - 3 days ago
I realise that this is a ten year old post but I'm just playing this for the first time and agree with many of the comments here. Just for the record though, there is a crowbar. If you want to see where it is, just watch the excellent walkthrough on YouTube by Bolloxed. Play it from 7 mins in for the full reveal. Like many others i missed this and out of frustration at all the boxes that needed flattening, I gave myself a crowbar using 'sv_cheats 1' followed by 'give weapon_crowbar'. Well justif...

Resonant_Fire - TWHL Tower: Source - 4 days ago
It was alright, there were some levels that felt completely unfinished and had a feeling of, is that really it? Fallen Angel was probably the highlight of the mod. It's a one time play through kind of experience, I found myself growing bored by the end....
Dmitry - Hidden Evil - 6 days ago
This mod is hard because of the shotgunners. Maybe if the designer would put less damage for shotgunners out be nice. I still can't believe enemy shotgunners are smarte than MP-5 while the player is smarter with MP-5 than with a Shotgun which on Hard hardly kills in one strike anyone. He also placed AR grenadiers in thin corridors. Unlimited enemies has a weak spot, you can place behind their spawn position and finish them with the shotgun. Still I think the game is lack of explosives or more HE...

Dmitry - Heavily Armed - 7 days ago
If T button doesn't work try to change areas several times. Sometimes works on the first change sometimes not. Or just spawn in a different area and try it again. It depends. Beside of rockets, MP-5 is still a good weapon after all. There're two side areas, I think you can play through all areas in one go. Their placement can be altered of course, it's never the same route. So a nice arcadic version of half-life it's like playing half-life back in 1991....
RedZombie18 - TWHL Tower: Source - 1 week ago
This was a fun experience that lasted me a few hours. While there are a couple of "floors" that are rough around the edges, there are plenty of great ones! A nice mix of puzzles, combat and even one strictly narrative based. Fallen Angel by Xinus22 was probably my favorite, mainly due to the fact it was purely unique and had an intriguing story tied to it. Overall was fun and enjoyable!...
Dmitry - Hard - 1 week ago
There're great diversity of actions. Maybe game do not follow a general idea, but modders usually do not have enough tools to make a nice story. What he made is too put too many enemies in general and not too many health. Create a sudden death situations without alternative strategies, there's usually one way out and if everything works fine. Difficulty in the last train is very high. A chopper around a vagon is very smart, the last section with rocket launcher and the sniper is like a dead cany...
Robolovsky - Hardware Upgrade: Remastered - 1 week ago
It is very easy to get to the other side without using a pipe to cross the cave. When the walkway collapses you can jump down into the water filled container, then jump out and run over to the ladder that has been dropped down for you. Then you just climb it and go into the nearby room where you can see the screen which shows another rebel behind the force-field. There is a button there but pressing it just brings up the message about getting rid of the strider first. No strider so no more progr...
Hec - Tune Two: Crossfade – Map Labs Test Tube #13 - 1 week ago
I am honestly unsure what to think about this competition as a whole gaming product. At first, I thought most entries were much more coherent and logical than the first "tune" competition. I felt at least in this edition we have the songs in which all the entries were inspired. But then I had this strange feeling of the last entries being way too much abstract and surreal, and not precisely linked to the songs as some entries had only instrumental pieces used as inspiration for their map...

I don't know why, but I seem to be the only person in the world that had major issues with this mod. I cannot recommend the version that is on this website. Try the latest moddb patch to maybe fix some bugs and issues. The moddb page doesn't even mention 'indefinite resource generation' in the bugs list, but NPC balance list. So they either knew about this game breaking bug and deleted all comments and references to it, or they did not fully fix it. My playthrough is on Twitch.tv with the handl...
agreenman - Avenue Odessa - 2 weeks ago
Tense and thrilling, this was a lot of fun! Jason Gimba always delivers. Great scripting. This one had quite the epic feel. Liked how the sniper sequence flipped the script into a defense battle. Felt fluid and satisfying. Cubbage was a coward, as usual. Bro can say whatever he wants, but he alone has to sleep at night knowing he'd be dead without me. Level design like this is always tricky to get right. Continue to push the player, yet lead them naturally through a chaotic landscap...
Dmitry - Gman Island Part 2 - 2 weeks ago
Very nice mod. I enjoyed how the spider killed GMan once and for all. After that the battle were friendly between the Spider and Freeman. It was friendly because Freeman is an alien his wife is A Vortgaunt and he has two kids in his house in the outer space living in his room: headcrab a & headcrab b. That's all for now, I hope someone else created this idea, the gordon is actually a mother spider of all aliens and GMan were just a businessman....
Anon_2024367 - Gateway 2: Shadows of Death - 2 weeks ago
I enjoyed this one. The part with some corridors running away from aliens were nice. They have a nice ability to put the player against any corner and do not allow you to move anymore. Meanwhile you are not moving they strike with 2 pounches and if you still there they keep pounching you until you are down. Much better than the Vortgaunt from original game. They are like Mortal Combat warrior. I would like to see the alien kick the player out of the ring too as well. This mod is kind of creepy....

Welcome to black mesa, we arrived in chopper landing area, got inside the mountain wth some scientists doing whatever they want. Then we got to a second chopper area, then come back, and got to some sort of maze with a lot of iron door which seems to be a prison.

Anon_2023890 - Hardware Upgrade: Remastered - 2 weeks ago
The only thing I'm okay with this is the combat. Puzzles and level design are poorly made to be honest. Some of the areas are blocky and amateurish, the puzzles make really no sense like putting an eyeless skull to an eye scanner. How does that work? There is one part where I have to destroy the strider to proceed to the next level. Unfortunately, it didn't spawn because of the certain trigger. How do you spawn it? Do you climb the ladder to reach the other side of the catwalk, do you keep the c...
Luke Traitor - StriderVille - 2 weeks ago
A very fun short mod here. I enjoyed a lot on destroying those striders. Outland Route [recimage id=4] So many HL2EP2 vibes. I'd say this one is easier than the actual campaign where you have to defend multiple structures. This, you may be overwhelmed with hunters, and two striders but don't worry. They're pretty easy to deal with, thanks to the rocket launcher. But ofc, I didn't know ending the map is by going to the radio so I kinda spent mor...

Dmitry - Freeman’s Fight - 3 weeks ago
It's still possible to complete on Hard. But some floors has too many freaking soldiers, dozens and dozens just in one floor. It gives a Hive Gun as some advantage, but still maybe some more grenades would be nice. One of the good things is that stations are removed and all health and armor are all pick-ups. Still if you sleep, you may say good-bye to play it on hard. It is quite frustrating to eliminate so many grouped soldiers by 1 meter between them. The last levels seems to be more relaxed l...

Dmitry - Freeman Escape - 3 weeks ago
It has some stealth strategy, just crawl and jump over laser trips and your reward is an soldier showing his back. Sadly we can't keep eliminating them one by one from the back because they will be warned when you get close to the bunker. The mines can't be triggered by shooting bullets or explosives. It's the first time seing this. Inside the track has lightning button. Did he installed that button inside the truck?? And that mounted turret, wow, how many bullets it misses, it is like shooting ...
Dmitry - Freeman - 3 weeks ago
There's not enough health and patience to play on Hard. It's like when someone gives a shotgun against soldiers, it's like the developer tries to screw your life. A charged shotgun do not always kills a grunt in close on Hard and if you have to hunt them from far away, well, maybe you could make them hold on shooting back. But they shoot back, so no way to play on hard....

Well, someone captured and you came here destroyed one of the crystal and he is finished. Probably the easiest boss ever in Half-Life, just stand still and shoot the crystal, with enough bullets it will crack and blow up Nihilanth completly. It was never too easy....

Dark Force happens in a Dark Ambient. Your crowbar is a black empty MP-5 weapons. Most of enemies are mostly soldiers, which is dark, because they are dangerous. Everything happens in Frozen Lands, dangerous and dark places with insane cold. Some cliffs are dangerous and you can fall easily from them to the ice water, that is dark. Sometimes there're too many controllers in a small room, this is really dark and dangerous with even dead cliffs and electrified water. An alien enclosed in a tube un...

Do not touch it, the HEV suit melts down in the lava pool, so don't make yourself a hero, and try to swim in there. Anyway, if you would be immune to the lava heat, it won't be possible to come back to the ledge from where you fall down and there're too many of them from which you can fall pretty easily.

Sure can. I see the author made a not obvious assumption in the readme, which states: " Unpack into Coterminus's 'custom' folder. The Town chapter should appear under BONUS MAPS section of the main menu. " There is no "custom" folder! He/she must have assumed we previously installed add-on mods. So just create this folder in Coterminus, and put it there. When you download and unpack the Borealis mod, you will see it's readme says to create a 'custom' folder....

vancanucksfan - Hardware Upgrade: Remastered - 3 weeks ago
It's a decent little mod, with a few rough spots. There is a spot where you have to climb up a ladder and get a door to open. It only opens for a few seconds and I fell out of the map there several times. The solution seemed to be to clear the boxes blocking your ascent with the gravity gun, go back to the previous map, then go back up the ladder and open the door and hurry up....

A good place to spend some time observing good ideas of creation which are more based on cinematographic skills and puzzles one after another.

This is one of those little shiny diamond maps, I agree, maybe, it is not the best fit for combat or thrilling FPS action, indeed the whole mission of the map can be done by walking and not even in a rush, so it is possibly better if You play it on "Hard", the whole mission it also feels linear but realistic all the way.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. This makes Opposing Force look fan-made in comparison, with how good the production quality on this is.

Forestville, a good concept with a good visual for most level designs. I played this like a number of times. Cabin Fever by David Newell [recimage id=1] An arena where you get to fight a horde of zombies, nothing to say other than a very amateurish map. Gravity Falls by Alastair Toft [recimage id=4] This one is pretty decent with a good visual and level design. The combat is okay, not too hard...

Another one to keep track of is the HL2 (not Ep2) Mod "Coterminus", which in turn can have add-on mods based on HL2 content. One such mod that is a must play IMO is The Town Mod. The graphics, layout and gameplay are truly excellent. You won't hardly recognize it from the original, so it will mostly feel like a new map. And I'm patiently waiting for Black Mesa Blue Shift Chapter 5, supposed to be out sometime this summer....

I have started and stopped playing this game many times over the years because I kept getting stopped at the end where you have to the final intense battle. Once I figured out what needed to happen, I was able to move to the end to completion. I will definitely plan to play it again in the future and recommend that you do too....

This mod was a very pleasant surprise and it was the HL1 fix I needed! For starters, I loved the mod's atmosphere and architectural design. Despite what the description says, this version of Black Mesa is unlike the one we all know and love; this time you'll mostly navigate through dark, wide, dimly-lit corridors that'll definitely remind you of sci-fi movies of yesteryear, mainly Alien and 2001 as stated by the other reviewers above. It's all implemented very well in my opinion and the level...

VERY REPETITIVE MOD It upgrades enemies and weapons Some weapons are crap, sniper for example is weak and there're just a few shots, RPG is almost inexistant in the level This mod will allow you to use DISPLACER CANNON quite a lot. If you know how to use, it will make a fresh air on hard. Memorize too many amount of enemies is quite hard anyway. The game crashed on floors 6, 10 and 11. On floor 6 and 10 try to avoid si...

Sadly Norton Antivirus quarantined 2 of the files in this mod on my computer. It's too bad because I wanted to play it. I know how to override this but would rather not do so....

One of the Best Opposing Mods I played I think you UNDER RATED this mod, HOW DARE YOU, it has a high variation scenarios like in the movies, maps are big, and all well made I still thinking you don't play too much James Bond at all If you like James Bond movies, this is your mod. You will feel like it....
