It doesn’t do anything new or spectacular, but what it does it does very well, and that is provide tough but fair HL2 combat, with great visuals and custom music to boot.

I really liked this mod, especially the last fight.
It is cool how the difficulty affects the game so you can replay it a few times.
This mod had good combat and it could be challenging sometimes so I give it 5 stars.

Anyone running this on Linux with success????
Nope!
Nope, i hase only lines and light….
I had a lot of fun with this mod; especially the final battle. Overall, a solid run & gun HL2 experience.

This mod isn’t revolutionary by any means but the quality is good on all fronts; gameplay seemed to be well balanced with a nice distribution of goods, some small puzzles in predominantly the start of this mod, and some combat that reached a peak in a nicely designed arena-type area at the end. Exploration of areas ‘off the beaten path’ is rewarded with extra goods. Visually it was pleasant to the eye with vibrant colors outside and not too dark indoors. The custom music was indeed a good addition. All in all a very solid mod!

Completely enjoyable, from the visuals to the action. Its recommended to be played at ‘normal’, and that’s probably the best. Easy would be just that. In other words, some other maps try to be too difficult on the mid setting for me.

Nice quality with some good gameplay. Why did we need the MapBase files?

You need the Mapbase files because some features it has are used in this mod.
Lot fun with hard difficulty the combat very nice had tough some time. The final battle had get me like but some visual had a bit cheeky, but music choose was really fit well to this mod. This is short campaign of this mod with some experiments far of HL2.

Installed everything into /home/john/.steam/steam/steamapps/sourcemods/mapbase_hl2, but textures are missing.
Any suggestions out there?
Thanks

i gave up, because you can copy the mapbase files in the sourcemods folder but it seems that we have special server.dll and client.dll in the mapbase folder.
Might be windows only mod
The folders go into Sourcemods, not into mapbase_hl2.
copy all the folders (mapbase_episodic, mapbase_hl2, mapbase_shared, rebelsurge) into your SourceMods folder.
Unq, I did load them into /home/john/.steam/steam/steamapps/sourcemods. My original post was a typo. Thanks for catching that.
Still cannot get it to work on Linux. I think this is a Windows only mod.
Oh, too bad, I hoped that was the issue. Yes, with the dlls likely Windows-only, sorry.
Noticing that on most of the new mods. There’s a lack of support for Linux systems.
Same for Mac too. Sadly, everything looks like wireframe here. Bit gutted :/
I had a lot of playing this! Fun combat scenarios and really good music. Nothing too crazy but a lot of fun anyway.

This is a fun mod. I prefer more puzzles and less combat, but I won’t hold it against the mod. The atmosphere is great, with all the ambient clutter and sounds. Although I couldn’t find any differences between the difficulties. (other than damage values of course) Are they obvious differences or more subtle?

Its Short but sweet. I love the custom Citadel Model in the distance and the lighting is nice.

Fix: Difficulty played at hard -> medium
Looks and plays ok. Not sure why it needed to be a mod with two maps.
That was just a very short and not-that-well-made alternate version of the Anticitizen One chapter of Half-Life 2. Not even having The Flight of the Valkyries as music for the helicopter boss fight could save it.
And what made me not give a “maybe” but instead a “think twice” is that, being made with the Mapbase mod, I would expect more given that you can make more with the tools it gives you… but I saw no small change, let alone grand with such at disposal. Perhaps it was best to work on it a little bit more to bring something more than the same
