It's called constructive criticism. Criticism is used to point out faults in the creator's work so they can improve their craft.

In this case, the creator needs to NOT be copying Nightmare House 2 scares AND instead come up with their own ideas. Especially when they do a half-assed job in copying them in the first place.

it's not "constructive criticism" to call something "insulting" and "pathetic." that's just being mean.

Well that's how I honestly felt. Seeing a scare copied from a much better put-together Source mod, and then making it worse by missing the sound cue of the player when they bump against each wall and having a less visually intimidating payoff "on the ceiling".

Now if this scare had been designed with the NH2 comparison in mind, but then had been twisted that so the scare happened earlier or something else happened, this could have been a clever scare concept. Instead, it's just a complete copy....minus the good parts.

You care to call that anything other than "insulting" or "pathetic"? Or at least, a lack of original creativity on the mod maker's part?

I found this mod to be extremely disappointing. I like some of the new weapon sounds/Combine models and the addition of red blood to the zombies.

The rest was generic, the scares was pathetic and that one scare you copied from Nightmare House 2; insulting. You didn't include the sound cue of the player approaching the wall each time and the visual payoff was pathetic. If you're going to implement scare events like that, make your own in future. And also feel free to not use the NH2 "jump scare" pose scare either.

Overall I just felt this mod reeked of "I wanna be Nightmare House 2". Show some of your own creativity in future instalments.

Left my review under review section. Good mapping but didn't like the combat/scare scenes.
