I highly recommend it as it expands on half life, making it feel more tactical with its options and weapons gameplay. However, there are a few flaws

1. mp7 being a little too op
the reason for this is because the MP7 fires the 4.6 mm x 30 NATO round. The armor piercing capabilities are not high. So with the SMG being lethal towards combine over watch soldiers despite the high armor protection. If it was nerfed but the head shot damage kept the same if not buffed. But I understand the reasoning because of balance issues

2. citizens living outside of the cities with the combine not caring
as stated above, and by npcs, civilians are allowed to live outside of the cities as long as they do not cause trouble. I feel like this completely diminishes the weight of why the cities exist.



overall, solid mod. Highly recommend.

very solid work. The game even made me over think my actions due to the places that I could of gone. Sad that ACT 1 is the only one that can run on my "PC."

not sure if Departure is ACT 2 is the sequel.

criticisms:
D*r Kleiner model: It was pretty weird that it was Kleiner. If you just swapped the face it would of fit better
*models. I feel like the security guards being modeled as rebels was off. If you used the CS:S GIGN models that would of been cooler
* carrying only one weapon: it doesn't make much sense from a tactical stand point. Now of course you shouldn't be like gordon freeman, but carrying the pistol and SMG would of been a nicer touch

too short!!!!! I need more! enviroment, level design, enemy design, rebel design, voice liens etc is amazing.


critiques:
*Bandits. While indeed a interesting enemy with cool models it does't make much sense seeing as the combine rule the world with an iron fist. And it would only be plausible if they were fighting with the rebels instead of against them.
*invisible barriers. Some of them i understand but some of them confused me. I think that instead of an invisible barrier for some you should add wreckage from during the seven hour war. Like Russian jets or rusting destroyed tanks.

overall I recommend it. Very fun and very intertaining

(After update I removed a few criticisms)

worth buying and playing

Initially I thought the puzzles were going to be more difficult. But when I suspended my disbelief of video game logic holding me down all the puzzles are easy to accomplish. The puzzles were very clever and so was the gun play. I only have 2 bad things to say about the game but it was really really good.

Critiques:
* Not enough combat against combine soldiers. I wished there was more combat
* Some of the dialogue was a bit off.


download the game because the soundtrack, level design, combat, and overall game play is very good. I especially love the Russian music that plays. 10/10

half life sequel level. Very very well done despite how short it is

I love basically everything about it. In a nutshell it is a first person "realistic" shooter but half life.

critiques:
* Some of the voice acting was shot separately and you can tell which makes it blochy.
* The parkour was really annoying but wasn't big
* When you meet the rebels the main rebel talking, his mouth doesn't move.
* When he says, "But where are my manners... Welcome to the family!" it repeats twice



I look forward to Act 2 :)

This game has a ton of replay value so far. Overall I recommend but since it is a beta there are a few issues which i figured I would address so that way the creator can make it even better

more important problems:

* Old voice lines with new models: It feels very off with old voice lines almost robotic sounds be on a new model. It doesn't sound or feel smooth

* A little too many weapons: This only comes to the end. I feel like you should be able to choose between keeping the glock and the Beretta instead of keeping both. Same thing with the ax and crowbar

*Weapons on the ground you can't pick up: mainly the M60 LMG

* The ax swing being delayed compared to the damage

* Half life voice lines: Its neat to hear them but it is not exactly interesting. If voice lines were incorporated like personal voice lines or amateur voice actors that would make interactions more fun which would spice up the experience.

* The zen models: Honestly the only thing to say is that if they were a bit more polished they would be better. But overall it works


Minor Problems:

* rear sight missing on the m16, G36

* weird round sight for the Glock-17

* it cooler if we had a few more security teams present during the "last stand"

* the pistol's and shotgun sound effects sound like they were from the original half life: I am not sure how Breedman made a more beefier sound for the weapons in EZ but if you could buff it up that would be greater.



overall it is still a solid mod campaign. Keep up the good work G!

need a sequel.

Entropy 0 and 02 will do ; -- ;

I have no critique other than battling the stalker which was a pain in the ass. But it was pretty good.


If you are looking for another Half life game than this game offers it. The sounds of the weapons are astronomical as well as the recoil. The sound design and level design is on point.

Not to mention some of the easter eggs which add to the story. I didn't encounter any bugs. 10/10 recommend
