Entropy : Zero 2 is honest-to-god, the best HL2 mod I've ever played, across the board, and it's absolutely free. Featuring an 8-10 hour long campaign, an interesting story that successfully bridges the gap between Half-Life and Portal, and post-game challenge modes and bonus maps, it provides a solid, polished experience that'll keep you occupied for quite some time.

The mod features a revamped combat system, with faster weapon switching allowing you to keep a constant damage output, and enabling weapon combos. The damage of all weapons is increased, for both you and the enemies, so everyone's a glass cannon. Several new weapons also make an appearance, including a burst-fire MP5K, a pulse pistol with a charged shot, the S.L.A.Ms from Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, and the Xen grenade, which can suck up enemies and objects and spawn Xen lifeforms in return, creating extremely chaotic three-way battles. Half-Life 2's existing weapons have also been given a makeover, with more satisfying sound effects and animations. In addition, you'll also be able to command squads of Combine Soldiers with a revamped squad combat system. All of this comes together to create a fast-paced, exciting combat experience, in which you'll need to act fast, and shoot fast to survive.

The mod's visuals are some of the best I've seen in a HL2 mod. EZ2 almost exclusively takes place in new locations outside of City 17 and the outlands, with graphical fidelity about on-par with Valve's own HL2 maps. From the rain-soaked ruins of Nova Prospekt, to the warm depths of Arbeit, to the ice-cold Arctic wastes, there's plenty of variety here, and it's all very cohesively put together.

All of this is enhanced by the original soundtrack composed for the mod, with a variety of ambient and action-focused tracks with their own distinct style, yet still fitting into the world of Half-Life, and the situations in which they play.

If you're a fan of Half-Life, you owe it to yourself to play this mod.

THEY REMOVED THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ GROIN SHOOTING FROM 1 AND 2 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HELL

0/10 no groin shooting

Become a porn star, ♥♥♥♥ a mob boss' wife AND daughter, then charge into said mob boss' room and shoot him. In the groin. There's still groin shooting.

0/10 the zombies don't yell "YABBA! MY ICING!" when you set them on fire.

Enter the Black Mesa Research Facility, a giant science facility filled with aliens and OSHA violations. Weave your way through the winding underground chambers and overcome many of the obstacles within, through the use of a crowbar, many varieties of guns, some of which may/may not be entirely safe for the user, and those trip mines that nobody ever uses.

Defend yourself from aliens, mutant rotesserie chickens and extremely ballsy soldiers, either by using the environment, shooting them, or f**king up their faces.

Experience this through the eyes of Gordon Freeman, a mute theoretical physicist turned Rambo, who must escape the Black Mesa Research Facility after causing a Resonance Cascade, bringing aliens into the facility and mutating all the rotesserie chickens in the whole facility.

Ally with the remaining scientists and security guards who can help you escape, as long as they don't get killed by mutant rotesserie chickens.


I give Half-Life: Attack of the Mutant Rotesserie Chickens a 9/10.

Have you ever wanted to shoot aliens with rainbows while riding a unicorn?

No?

This game is still for you.

That strider at the end can go ♥♥♥♥ itself.

Well thought-out, professionally designed bridge: shatters into tiny pieces if you so much as breathe on it

Crazy-ass abomination of civil engineering: can support a tank truck without breaking

10/10 realism

Did nobody ask for this game? Yes.

Is this game good? Also yes.
