on the third level I got purple text saying BLIMEY! when I killed the two stalkers, what was that about?

[Chrille]

Brilliant so far, made it to the rebel base. Oh and I picked the lovely flower.

[joe_rogers_11155]

I am not a fan of the change to the light_environment in the first level...but other than that, everything was far beyond expectations. EXCELLENT MOD.

Why not? Its fun to add in these small touches when the player does something that not everybody will do

Glad to see people enjoying the mod, it was a lot of work to make! But fun as well!

[DarkIceJack]

Made it to the end, really fun best mod i have played for a long time, but found 0 flowers

HUGE REVIEW TITLE!!!
There's a lot of spoilers in this review, watch out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It seems you've removed everything loved about the first mod and added in badly compressed textures. I'm not trying to be harsh, it just feels off. I was very impressed by the combine level though. So here's pictures and stuff.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 2BE859439/
There's this weird color changing bug in the intro, the boat ride has a cool animation though.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 0F349EAC6/
You used to use a lot of player clips that helped navigation, it took me a bit to hop on this dock.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 5DBD6CB22/
Wasn't there a gate here with a lock?

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 50C17629C/
Erhum?

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... D26E92469/
Why did you remove the cool engine model?

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... AF72D0256/
This fence still makes a wooden sound when you hit it and there is no door on the elevator.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... B38EF66B9/
What happened to the over watch voice here? I really liked it.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 19F0D7F56/
This isn't your fault but there should be a way to fix it if I remember correctly.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... D450EF659/
These fence models break in the third level but not here.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... A7EE6B5D6/
You removed the nice wooden stair break, it was pretty cool. Also when you try and hit most of the wooden walkway models you don't hit anything, that may be because you couldn't compile a very complex collision box, not a big problem.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... B2949E995/
You can't jump across this gap anymore so it's impossible to get the supply crate?

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 0D01C5CE8/
BARREL GRILL WHERE HAVE YOU GONE???


Barrel grill will be missed.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 95765F72D/
Wasn't there a guy down here? Cool water effect though.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 2B9705BD4/


http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 945ADF282/
Not a big deal but you clip through the top pipe. And zombie shadows cast down into this little vent area from the room above.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... A09A00CBD/
Dat cinematic physics.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 20F3FD058/
This makes an odd sound when you use it.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 284424256/
You fall through this board which seems very unfair.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 6CD7AA551/
HOLY CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 643B495F5/
Dat skydome.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... DF60611A1/
MY EYES!

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... B074D5B9E/
I like that you used player clips here, either that or there are no collision models, the wooden floor is really nice looking too.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... FCEA2ECA9/
Uhm?

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 524634283/
This fence makes a rubber sound when you hit it unlike the other elevator.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... C9D754DDC/
Could use an info_lighting for some of these models.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... B95A6C79B/
http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 4ED7618F5/
This is a one way door, you can walk through on one side, but you have to crouch to get back out, it's weird.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 68A734748/
I like that the shotgun combine shot this off when I came down the stairs, happy accident or npc_bullseye?

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 02360E211/
I remember a drop ship coming in and dropping this and then the combine went across it, now it's just there and combine are hidden until you walk down to it, also it floats like a boss.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 153582CA8/
http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... F2098E328/
YEAH!!!11!1!!!

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 5C20E55AA/
I can't help but think you took a lot of inspiration from Dear Esther, you have some waves that move back and forth, and this area which was on a lot of the beaches in Dear Esther, plus you have a skydome. Nothing wrong with this at all just saying. I agree with Joe that the light_environment change wasn't the best idea, it doesn't really fit the skybox and it doesn't contrast enough with the next outdoor map's lighting.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 81ED57A3C/
I can't figure out what this is? But it looks nice.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 475405400/
Odd lighting, you should split up the model.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... F873EB6F0/
Dem pipes.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 3F5961551/
I think it would be easier to move the boards if this pillar was destroyed in the middle.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 272B372C3/
You can get all the boards stuck in this room, maybe a clip with a filter_activator?

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 4E97FFBBC/
http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... EA1C297E1/
SCIENCE!!!

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 8092E679C/
Dat bumpmap.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... AF9513118/
EEAAAGGGGLLLEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Cool scene, would have been funny if someone was on the billboard with a cheesy grin as you crashed into it.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... E2CC78E5C/
This still scared me.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 4A051A830/
This made no turn on sound when it came on, also maybe it's because I was expecting it but I remember it being delayed and you used an env_fade from white(I'm probably very wrong here). Would have felt more dramatic maybe.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 1C334CBD8/
Dat animation.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 8558A2B15/
I play with closed captions and this guy had no captions. Also, No Hawking.
Could have sworn this guy was supposed to be evil and the final boss battle?

luuuuuuuuul.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... B5B83DEAB/
Sweet tunnel bro.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... ADB7C9022/
I like how you remade the HL1 slick surface effect.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 1BF37229C/
I felt like some rusty trains would have made this area more memorable, but they probably wouldn't have made sense.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... CCEB2E9DC/
Rainbow.

Now entering Silent Hill, enjoy your stay.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 635B68351/
You got the whole combine architecture down, except for this.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 88EDD7ED3/
http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 58931AA83/
Really like these light ball orb things. Nicer than the actual energy balls.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... DCA113D4B/
Now entering Silent Hill again.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 131966A2E/
Suck it DarkIceJack!

This is the attention to detail that I love.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... E057B5472/
Wow.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... A93D7FC95/
These stairs are oddly shaped things.

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... 5B9D75E13/
Dat blue?

http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/115 ... C904B6A16/
Shew bird.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... 79A880B8E/
This was a cool scene aswell.

http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... ECF02945C/
http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/11554 ... CB2B78C27/
I liked the Hitchcock humour.

Please don't take these comments as harsh or condescending, I know they are very tedious things and most of them are pretty opinionated. The base gameplay was solid though, nice platforming and combat. I did very much enjoy the mod I just don't understand why you removed the cool stuff. The cinematic physics were very clever, even if it seems like a lot of it just randomly fell to the ground. I really like your stuff and hope to see more in the future.

[Gambini]

You should check your game´s cache. Those missing animations and floating props didn´t exist in my end. You must have a modified or broken ep2 folder.

I also found quite a lot of annoyances and bugs. But they didn´t prevent me to believe this is the best HL2 mod I´ve seen yet.

[joe_rogers_11155]

i dont think its the best hl2 mod out there. i think R&D is still the champion. but mission improbable was pretty damn awesome and deserves plenty of praise. this is what RIGHT looks like, gentlemen.

[Vicpop]

Pretty much shits on everything else out there when it comes to HL2-themed mods, apart from maybe R&D. The color correction was a bit strong in places, I thought, but when it wasn't it worked really well. Super clever design mostly and one of the few mods that really got the Combine architecture down.
