the download contains the entire contents of someone's steam folder, which makes it difficult to find where the mod itself is. I tried moving the mod files into a separate area but it was difficult because the mod uses a default Spirit 1.8 mod as its directory and there are alot of random files such as copies of all the vanilla HL files. The first map crashed so I probably wont be playing this unless the download is cleaner.

this mod is unplayable in its current state. skill.cfg is missing, so all the new monsters/weapons are useless, and freeman will die as soon as you meet him, so that you will be unable to progress because he is needed to open some doors.

opposing force mod. It's actually not bad considering the limitations. I played on hard and spent most of the mod in near death, because of all the traps and ambushes. Quite fun.

P.S. Suspicious Otis's dont attack... thanks gearbox

played thru the entire 100 maps. There are lots of problems, I got locked in a bathroom and had to noclip. I fell thru the map into the void at one point, and also had to noclip on that map. Some of the fights are annoying, but the entire mod seems to be combat oriented. The final boss has high chances of crashing the game so I had to noclip past him to see the ending. Overall its a giant slog so try it if you want to see how long a mod can really go.

Played this on hard. Died a couple of times despite how short the mod is. Boxes that you need to jump on are breakable. 90% of the maps are designed the exact same way (you start in a room, go out and find the nearest ashtray, and theres a secret area above the room u start out in.) Didnt expect bloody handprints to be a ladder. Enemies are placed in very cheap locations, sometimes right at the spawn of the next map so you have no time to react as 3 guys start unloading into you. And the ending is such a downer.

Beat it on Very hard. This mod takes a concept that valve originally planned to put in the game, and I think this mod did very well with it. I had just enough ammo for the final battle, but I needed some lucky gauss shots or else I wont have enough ammo. If you play this, be VERY conservative with ammo and dont try to kill everyone. It takes a while to understand how the levels are designed, I've never seen an alternating teleporter in any other mod before. The crowbar is VERY easy to miss, and it's required for progress. As you saw in the screenshots, its a Xen level, so your gonna need to be a pro longjumper to get thru this mod. Quite a challenge, try it if your a halflife pro.

P.s. Kinda funny that vortigaunts have human gibs, lol

Finished it. Similar in quality to Operation Rosenberg but I can notice the improvement. The mod is longer than I expected, which is always good. There is also an unexpected change of setting that took me by surprise, even though I've seen that happen as well in other mods. Difficulty is surprisingly well balanced, even when I played on Hard. In the beginning the game feeds you alot of batteries, but towards the end I was hobbling along with little armour and generally around 50 HP on average. This mod, although not as fancy as the big name mods, has a bit of everything, and that's pretty fun. I was being reminded of various other mods when I was playing this mod, but nothing too specific. Though some gripes I have about this game which caused me to reload the game a few times, were the audio messages that had passcodes in them. They were a bit hard to hear and you can't replay the messages. But the spliced voices of the NPC's are not bad at all. This mod also tries to incorporate opposing force monsters but it uses the vanilla codebase so these monsters are limited to generics and cyclers. It's quite possible to use the opposing force codebase, by now lots of mods have been doing it here on moddb. Overall a long and decent mod but dont expect anything fancy.

Basic mod. You have only a knife and half a clip of pistol to deal with about 6-8 soldiers. You will need the shotgun hidden in the vicinity. There are minecraft references later on (not seen in the video below). I recorded a video myself but the framerates were really bad so I'm not going to upload it.

Short mod that uses some enemies that you don't see too often. HEV suit is placed in a very dangerous location. There is also a 'boss'. It was mostly easy. Thanks to 23-down for finding mods on youtoob that arent available anywhere else!

Short mod. Blocky and basic design but it's alright. Difficulty curves up exponentially, very interesting. Mod is very generous with items/ammo. I liked it.

Here's a playthru--> youtu.be/YGa2pFR1Gt4

alright, I finished it. Its a LONG mod! It's based off opposing force. Mapping is not too great but gameplay is nice. I played on hard, and DAM it was super hard. Fights are very tough, usually because the mapper loves to spawn aliens in your face or directly behind you or worse, the random explosions. I got stuck in the geometry a couple times as well, which was mildly annoying. There was also some bad glitches as well as puzzles that arent glitched but can be confusing to solve. There's also a very long boot camp training section, with some random guy doing a fairly bad impression of a drill instructor. You'll hear his voice thru the entire game so enjoy it.

Pros: Very tough kombat, some interesting puzzles, opposing force mod, has multiple endings
Cons: Glitches, stuck in geometry, One part I had to noclip which was the vent going to HRR labs(couldn't open that vent or find out how to get to the HRR lab door from the kitchen), sub par mapping (but not as bad as 'my first map'), random explosions with no explanation that insta-kill you, important passwords/instructions that are relayed to you only once (miss it and your screwed)

If you want to play a long challenging mod I say go for it.

valve removed the D3D option from steam HL. But thanks for heads up, I'll be playing this in WON

I made a video playing thru the mod. It's VERY similar to and probably inspired by TWHL Tower. Pretty easy and short. I think it does pretty good on simulating the "lots of different ideas in one tower" concept.

nice. I just finished it. The original models were ugly as %#&# and a remod of this was the best idea. Could not play in WON due to crashes. I noticed that there was also a converted MP level added on. That's pretty cool too. Anyway I remember the original being criminally easy so I played on hard now and found soldiers could tank a half clip worth of bullets from their own rifles. Health was stingy at the beginning especially since its easy to get sprayed by the helicopter and all you had was a pistol. At some point you are fed full of drugs and health never becomes a problem anymore. So basically, the beginning was harder than the end. The boss was interesting too, if you get into a spraying contest with him using the machine gun you will loose. The machine gun and uzi were extremely weak, but their ammo was the most consistent. Like before, I never tried out any of the fancier weapons because I knew there was little ammo down the road for them. The sniper rifle was op anyway due to noscope perfect accuracy. Then at the final boss I found out why the punk girls never seemed to drop their thompsons. Because it was OP. I just sprayed the boss with it and he went down before the second clip was used up...

You are an agent caught by Nazi SS troops. No custom coding. Mod quality is similar to Mission Mcpoker. I thought it was pretty interesting. Thanks for translating to english!

cry of fear wannabees in the sewers... many lols

Anyway i didnt run into any problems, finished on hard with 100 HP. Great remod as always.

the para school crash dynamite is by my guess, caused by having too much dynamite being picked up all at once. Try setting the monstermakers to have only 1 max live children

try r_dynamic 0

I'm playin on hard the first time because i'm just looking for trouble. And boy, there sure were alot of it. I still dont know why those guys in the dusky place were so OP.

This mod is awesomely long. I still havent finished, might take a long while... Currently in the lumber yard

Spirit mod. You are a GIANT mecha robot fresh out of a factory while your base is under immediate attack. You must fight enemy GIANT mecha robots and their military support which includes heavy tanks and rocket artillery. I must admit, it pretty hard, especially at the beginning where ammo is limited. On top of that, you cannot knife the support vehicles since they all explode in your face dealing more damage than their actual attacks. On the plus side, you are huge and everything else is scaled smaller from your view, which isnt something you normally see in any mod. It's pretty different from your standard black mesa escape mod, so take a look.

Just played it on hard. It's excellent. Although there isn't much of a story beyond the intro, it's very fun and reminds me a bit of blue shift as well. Health and ammo are pretty generous and there's also plenty of secrets. Didn't run into any bugs or problems.

I thought the G3 was slightly overpowered but it is fairly balanced, gaining extra damage in exchange for a much smaller clip size. You cant spray it like you did with vanilla HL's MP5. Go ahead, try it now!

Very good mod. Strong and convincing industrial era atmosphere. Fairly difficult. Several different and challenging environments (not spoiling for you.) People say it's short, but 1 hour I think is pretty long. Story is pretty cool too, though sometimes it felt like what the characters say come from reading a book rather than things that people would actually say. Not really a problem though. Overall I think it's a great mod, but not as scary as they hunger (well maybe a little)

Theres a few bugs and grievances I want to mention. there doesnt seem to be any autosaves in the dockhouse, and it's a tough map with an insta-death area. Speaking of which, it's possible to skip the dockhouse map entirely by walking along the outer wall. I also got teh 'stuck in the barricade boards' in the first map. Also it seems it wasn't very clear which door the key in the bar opens, though it certainly wasnt the house in the middle of the plaza. Also on that map theres a leak where you can see the skybox behind the store window.

The bosses are extremely tough, but very possible. Great job

Play this mod. It's different from every other mod you have ever played, including they hunger. Having played 400+ mods I can say no mod I've played is quite like this one. I'd say it's a mix between they hunger and wanted, but is very different from both of them.

whats not funny is that this is like the 3rd or 4th half life mod with this idea, so its actually getting boring

Played this until it crashed around the middle of "We've got Hostiles!" chapter. Great beta. There are massive changes to the Half life engine based on more gore and gibbing. The kick is a (in my opinion) overpowered move that is basically infinite stun, but i guess that's the point here. It also comes with a load of problems, though, like the videos some have shown where a needed pushable box is kicked out of reach of the player. The other thing I want to mention is the AI changes. Generally I noticed the AI seems to be faster, but I also noticed some weird things, like zombies freezing and soldiers dropping a grenade and then decide to drop another grenade right after dropping the first one, so that the first one blows him up. They also seem to like using grenades more than vanilla and dont seem to toss them as well, from the little i've seen. I have seen the AI code and some of them goes for miles long so I dunno how much you can really 'fix' the AI here.

One more thing, crouch wasn't bound to left ctrl but thats not a real problem. But the 'walk' button seems to be broken. Any ideas?

Seems to work pretty well, however there are some minor issues:

- the exit teleport ends up on top of debris that is too high to jump on, leaving you stuck in the room with the garg

- Because it is possible to re-enter the uplink maps from the lambda core B teleport, re-entering the uplink maps will get the player stuck, as the vents that lead to the garg room gets blocked

Otherwise the maps integrate well into the original vanilla game. Very good!

Single map based around a series of rooms separated by breakable walls. It could be an interesting gameplay based on how every time you break the wall to the next room you have no idea what is waiting behind it. This mod inspires me to make a map with a similar theme. Very nice!

Single map mod. I managed to survive after several deaths. The hardest part of the map isn't actually the boss area (image 3 above), but it's most likely the room where you first encounter the soldiers, as one of them in particular has a surprise for you (I won't reveal the surprise, but it involves explosives and your face.) The second hardest area would of course be the assassins.

I am not going to say that the mapping was bad, seeing as it is prolly the first attempt at mapping, and this is definitely better than a laggy huge single killbox map. But there is still some lag though. I don't know what is causing it, as the map isn't actually that big. Make sure to seal any leaks in the map and do not use a giant cube to contain the entire map, as that will cause lag. There is some enemy variety, but not too much as zombies prolly take up about 50% of the experience here, and for me it was mostly just luring them to barney so I dont waste ammo. Speaking of which, ammo management is a bit more important here as the crowbar is not given at the start (but can be found later.)

It would prolly be a good idea to use more than 4 textures for about 90% of the map. The tables are also scaled too tall, and a crossbow ammo placed there was not reachable because I couldn't jump on the tables. The rooms are kinda bland, but some effort was made to decorate them such as the electronic cart and soda machine in one room, but more would have been interesting. I also suspect that all the doors were copy pasted off one another and have the same name, causing them to all open or all close at the same time. I could be wrong though. Anyway, hope you had fun making this map, and possibly make more interesting maps in the future!

Short mod that has high difficulty. Minor coding changes that pretty much nerf the crowbar and glock so you can NOT depend on them like in most mods. All damage in the game has been buffed significantly, so yes, this is one of those mods where soldiers can kill you within 3 seconds if you dont take cover. Slightly confusing puzzle in the first map, coupled with the fact that in the early maps you have very little ammunition coupled with a severely nerfed crowbar, you need to be rather stealthy when you have to deal with respawning slaves. Be extremely careful in the first two maps. Thankfully there are 'infirmary' rooms stocked with lots of medikits.

There is a bug where if you open the locker with the keycard in the first map, the locker door may 'push' the keycard away and make it unable to be picked up. I'd suggest relocating the keycard away from the angle of the locker door opening. Another thing is that due especially to the difficulty of this mod, autosaves are a must. THey are very easy to place in hammer so I'd highly suggest having them, say, at least one per map but maybe more.

Mapping is alright but not spectacular. Play some other mods if you want to see how detailed maps can get and stuff. The challenge of this mod is definitely new and interesting, having to deal with extremely limited ammunition, high damage from enemies, and sneaking around monster respawns. Good run.

This is a hybrid puzzle and action mod with some horror mixed in. Around half the mod is spent without weapons and is mostly puzzle based and finding useful items and whatnot. The puzzles are not too difficult until around the halfway boss fight, good luck with that. After the boss the mod is more action oriented and several weapons are available against the enemies you will encounter. But there are still plenty of puzzles and thinking. The final boss area is pretty tough, although well balanced due to having high-tier weapons by that point. Each map is quite long, so the length is decent overall. Very good mod and you all should play it. Long live HL1 modding

find the hook in the area next to the vent, then use it to hook the keys off the dead construction worker on the other side of the fence. The pliers are in the locked room.
