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....

Great mod dude, very cool and original 8/10. Hope to see a sequel
Just finished playing through the mod, the gameplay was fun. The only issue I had with it was the blocky levels, other than that it was very enjoyable. 8/10
No problem. Always happy to help.
thanks a ton for pointing that out to me danm36!
Thats right. This mod is in PC GAMER UK! Fine it's in the tiny column in the extra-life section but it's there and downloadable from the disk! Here is what the column says:
OMG i loved this mod. okay i must admit it looked a bit amateurish, and the mapping could use quite a lot of work, but that map with the big cube was just creative genius!! well... all of them, but not as genius :P I've played a lot of mods that had better mapping/texturing but this one was just pure fun :P this mod says like "to hell with story and intricate plots, let's get on with the fun!" I dont get why people got stuck though. I played through the whole thing in about... lets say 3 quarters of an hour, without ever getting stuck... i had to revise a few of my playing strategies to get through some points though, and i thank the people who made it for that :D congrats! 7.5/10
was actually a good set of challenges, with some nice gameplay designs. The maps looks horrible tough, except for some nice lighting. If you had managed to fit this gameplay into a realistic setting you may have been on to something.
This mod is obviously a first attempt at serious map-making by the authors and as such should never have been released :) Eery mapper has to learn somehow, but nobody's first attempt is ever any good.
I encourage the authors to keep mapping and honing their skills - one day they'll have a mod or map pack worthy of release.
This mod could have been so much better if it had a competent mapper.
:O ****, image to looks scary!
