This is a single player Half Life 2 mod, set entirely outside of city 17.
It features:
+ 6 levels of action, exploring a range of locations (from an underground facility to fighting alongside the combine on an alien world to floating color-coordinated cubes)
+ Non-linear level progression- you start near a nexus of gateways, and may choose the order in which to progress through the levels
+ A musical score (a total of 8 tracks)
+ Some new abstract textures (see image 3)
+ Challenging gameplay - this mod is meant for those who have already completed Half Life 2.
****For those with version 1.0, to get around the bug in the airboat-sequence, just noclip through the floor. (this is fixed in version 1.1) To noclip, open the console with ~ (or if its deactivated, go to options/keyboard/advanced to activate it) then type in "sv_cheats 1" and then in a separate line "noclip" (it should spit back at you "noclip on"). Type "noclip" again to deactivate noclipping....

This was a great mod. I loved all of the transports and how there was alot of breakables. The mod was great. I give two thumbs up. 10/10
Very imaginative, different, refreshing, challenging. Not your average 'I am the Freeman' mod.
Half Life 2 meets Serious Sam on LSD and Speed... 10/10 :)
This is coming from someone who loves story driven mods. I thoroughly enjoyed this, because HELL! Who needs a plot when you can mow down an army of metro cops with a mounted machine gun! Also some of the levels were incredibly imaginative and ingenious, especially the cube level. It was also just the right length for an hour of simple, mindless, gun-running fun.
Although an obvious first shot,I loved this thing!Difficulty needed some balancing,but when the action kicked in it was like HL2 meets the bastard child of the Quake engine.Really enjoyed the sound track.Some great originality in some concepts,especially in the "Colors" chapter.Nice!
Overall a lot of fun.Mod's great for honing your skills a little or just to have some frantic fun killing everything in sight(it's a good thing).
Play it just for the fun!
This mod is a ADHD heaven, and I have ADHD so I'm rating this 10/10
Please guys, whats the name of the music on tge first map?
Well, I don't have much to say about this mod, It's not a masterpiece, but a boring non-stop shooting mod. I'm really disappointed, I was expecting a mod that contained not just action, but some cool puzzles, but there're no puzzles in this mod, and the ending. Well, terrible. For me it was a waste of time and I believe this could've been more interesting. I think everybody's gonna hate me just because I didn't enjoy this mod very much. But who cares, It's my opinion and I'm sorry if I also disappointed the creators of this mod, but some people are different. I didn't use cheats, but some people mostly will. Some parts are way to hard, but fortunately, the map delivers you the ammo required for the situation. Mapping isn't that great, but It's very chaotic. Well, I think that's all, and soon or later, a war will possibly begin over me. And I believe, It's gonna happen.
@gsp i did not cheat in the game. and the description it says very clearly that this is not a puzzle game so maybye you should pay attention for 5 seconds and read the description instead of bitching and moaning about the gameplay and lack of puzzles.
play this on hardest mode and set your ammo carrying ability to the max, and have a blast. the game is ugly, but who cares!? it's an absolute over-the-top frag-fest, there's no way you won't enjoy this game's totally choatic onslaught.
