Worst mod so far
I've tryed to see where they where going with this on the story, but if its named before..Why did it take place on the missing ship? Why is a no-name using the gorden skin? None of this makes sence. Also the ai was tossed in with no pathing at all, It's like this project was rushed to get there name out there, and in my eyes is going to do more damage then good.

Let me go into more detail on this. This are the things they clam in the mod.


About the Game
Half-Life: Before – is a modification for Half-Life with new levels and story. Mod is based on Spirit of Half-Life 1.8 technology, that increases visual and functional component of the mod.

You're playing as a Black Mesa scientist Andrew Winner. Your mission is to enter another world to find an artifact that will allow Black Mesa scientists to open portal in another world.
Features
Intense action
Set in Half-Life universe
High quality soundtrack
Spirit of Half-Life technology to enhance visuals
High definition models

Where to start with this.
Intense action? I only got over powered mob's with bad placement that made them mega easy to take down.
Oh, set in the half-life universe? Where? I know it's on a ship. Is this the Borealis? If so it's to small to fit in the doc that was layed out in portal 2.
High Quality Soundtrack? Don't make me laugh! i have 7.1 on my headphones and The sound track was sub-par at best.
Spirit of half-life tech? Oh of course, no new info was put into the mod beyond what was given to the player.
High-Def mods? Once more i'm laughing at this, i saw no such things as i beat this mod.

I am a big fan of HL1. I did play it many times. The sound is not better, I riped the sound files out and there lower mh's then what HL1 put out. The mod is nothing like far cry 3, This mod is 20 mins at best. Far cry 3 blood dragon is about 5 to 10 hours.

Thank you Catzlock,
Ya I've been working on SDK projects for about 3 years now. I'd expect a little more from a projecet like this.

I'm working on the HL2 mod, Alex and i wont let them push forward right now becouse i'm not happy with the AI.

Took me about 20 minutes to beat this, completely agree with CampingCarl on everything he says. 4 years or not, it's a SHORT and ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game and mod, and it shouldn't have been added to Steam as a "DLC" either way. Barely decent as a mod, sound is ♥♥♥♥, enemies are all generic, several bugs as well as the "boss" at the end. Nihilanth from HL1 ending t-posed sideways, coming at you with an OP tongue. Useless mod, wasted a good 20 minutes of my time.

BEST MOD EVER

It seems like they spent more effort on the credits than they did on the actual game.

This game is, indeed, the worst mod I've ever played.

I really now thinking should of renamed this, one of the worst. Its hard to pin the worlds worst mod.

I played it, and got stuck at least 7 times.
In half life, there are puzzles that tell you where to go and foreshadow your next destinations.
But this just throws you out in the middle of a broken storyline that makes no sence and is not related to half life's story in any way with a sh*t-ton of zombies and turrets, and then throws a bunch of dead ends and no hints of where to go.
The dead bodies explode in alien blood (human or zombie) Which I find stupid.
Nothing in this mod was right. It was all just horriblly bland and the music repeats itself endlessly. It also has several things stolen from different games and hacked all together into a horrible stinky peice of crap that should never have ever been on steam. Ever.

Well from what i can gather is a pre-story even before the Half life co-op game that was i think on the Playstation or was it xbox? Its been so long. Its about getten the cristal but here is the problem. The crystal in the cannon story was given by the g-man not some no man.

To be honest I actually kinda like this mod but it lacks of telling you where to go...
=(eGO)= CampingCarl shut the ♥♥♥♥ up HL1 and HL2 and nothing like far cry 3 (neither is HL:Before) so what! almost no game is like far cry 3 exept Call of Duty so deal with it!.
