Coolest single player mod I've ever downloaded. Great job. Loved the A-Team decals.

Am I the only one who played the whole thing without using console commands?

Nope, i didn't use noclip, sv_cheats 1 or any thing the whole way through. Personally the hardest level was level 1 when you had to guide the antlion, took me forever to figure it out.

Wow. I just played the whole game without cheats and all I can say is this is AMAZING! I love puzzle games but they are usually not as entertaining and unique. From start to finish, I enjoyed every seconds. Matt, you deserve all this attention! I hope you get hired ( if not done already ) very soon. I would like to see you make a Portal mod. With such creativity, I think it would be awesome.


Only one part of the whole mod bugs me. This is when you drive with Mr.Whirly and you get past Huge electric boxes. I didn't see it coming and I crashed Mr.Whirly into the electrified structure and was not able to detach it from the electrified field. Is there an intended game play behind this? Anyway, I just reloaded a previous save and did that part carefully. Nice ending! Torso made me laugh haha.

I'm already recommending this game to all my classmates and friends.

Matt I'm curious, how much work did you put in this?
BTW I registered only to comment on this amazing game! But I will definitely stick to this forums from now on.

he did this entire mod in about six months!!

I have finished this mod, and this was the best SP mod for half-life that I've played in a long time, by far! Great use of physics, nice and well detailed environments, and most of all; I loved the originality you used in your puzzles.

Loved this mod, the only thing I can pick out is that I feel you used the whole 'break the pipe with the grav gun' puzzle type a little too much. But it's so minor that it's barely worth mentioning, good job!

[joe_rogers_11155]

about the breaking pipes mechanic. In that first hallway with the pipes, I stood there for ten minutes looking for a way to proceed through the steam, but couldnt find one. By totally random accident, I knocked one loose by shooting an object at it...totally accidental. There wasn't much to tell me that I should actually try the gravity gun on the pipes. Unless I totally missed something.

Having an already broken pipe, and then a small blast to pop another pipe, followed by the actual puzzle pipes would have probably built the learning phase up to the test phase.

Nah, I thought figuring that out was a "little too" easy, oh ... steam coming out of this "rusty" looking pipe area, /BREAKZ

I really like this whole construct that you did here. It is well put together and looks really fun. I like the lighting and the actual mood of the environment the most.

I just completed this earlier, and can say it ranks right up there as possibly the best single player mod I've played, the puzzles were sheer genius and I loved the fact that it wasn't a generic gunfight-against-the combine mod. My whirly was the highlight, but I would have loved that entire section to be longer, driving mr whirly across a swampland or something, but I realise you didn't have your entire life to dedicate to making this!

Just goes to show how versatile the Source Engine can be with a bit of scripting ingenuity.

[upriser]

anyone else follow TIGSource and see this get a spotlight? Which is awesome, as they follow indie games and usually you don't see many mods or level-packs. Frankly, it's also a great site to get info on free or cheap indie games.

friggin homerun man, awesome AWESOME job! did see one bug though, dunno if you actually read this post still but:

there is the section where you pass the 3 sentries, you can actually knock them over but it appears as if a hurt trigger or something is there cause even after they were disabled if I walked passed that walkway in front of them, i would take damage and die.

Not a big deal, this was a brilliant play, appreciate it!

Best mod i'v played yet on HL2. So different, so well made, its a piece of art and a amazing gameplay rush. You should get a medal for this.

Found it on a dutch game site, it gave it some good attention. Way to go!! cant wait for seconds

[Turd Ferguson]

I've seen videos and pics of this and it looks amazing! I just wish my computer would run EP2. When I asked for a graphics card, I didn't know Santa would shit it out. IT SUCKS!!

If you're reading this,you suck more than you ever imagined

Anyway, great looking piece of art dude, ART!

[NanoSquid]

I joined the forums just to tell you how AMAZING that was.Gabe Newell would be proud. Mr. Whirly and the part with the mine cart were AMAZING. Took me forever to figure out how to unlock the box with the first keypad code though.
