There’s some voice acting in this and it seems quite important. I had to wander around quite a bit and even resorted to “noclipping” in some of the later stages.
The author has worked hard but it’s just not up to the kind of standard we have come to expect.
That said, you can see that if the author keeps modding and learns his lessons he will release something much better.
I can’t really recommend this mod but you may enjoy playing it.
Phillip, this is EP1.
Fixed, sorry about that. I have updated the post to reflect the corrections.
Odd, I’ve tried to comment with a ‘maybe” RI but it disappears into the ether
This a very weird mod; you need to play it and find out for yourself if your curious.
No cheats needed but path finding is not obvious.
In one of the maps I needed to barge a Vortigaunt about to get it yo open a gate.
It seems to be a series of vignettes strung together about a central theme (of some sort).
There are interminable NPC chats in some Eastern European language (Russian?).
Each vignette, bar one – the train ride, does have some reasonable combat though.
The combat ganeplay is OK
After shooting down the Strider can not find something else to do, maybe it’s a bug?
After knocking out the last of the 3 Striders, mario, back to the lift.
Make sure all rebels and Alyx are in it with you.
When the doors open, make sure you are the last to leave the lift.
The sprint after Alyx while she does her 100 metre dash.
Thanks for letting me respond Jasper, then, follow me all the rebels and go to rest and I follow Alix but I can not enter the room where his father, as if there was an invisible wall
Ting! I remember, mario.
Yes, there is an invisible wall and you cannot enter the room.
You have to wait in the corridor while Alyx and her father chat away.
When they have finished (takes a while, be patient – very) They will lead you back the way you came.
There is a mesh gate which you cannot open. You have to wait while her father walks very slowly back to the rest room. He gets the Vortigaunt to leave his game of chess and follow him to the gate. The Vortigaunt opens the gate.
Hitch a ride on the passing train.
nothing, I waited over 10 minutes but nothing happens, I will just give up on this mod, too buggy!
To many bugs.Music is so loud you cant hear the voices.Should of been an alpha release.If you dont get all the combine during the train ride,the ride wont stop.That happened to me as the AI is buggy and the combine was facing the other way and hidden from my view.Many other bugs with chopper and AI also
Unilike other oppinions, I like this work of binocl, I think is the best of his, because is coherent and have good combat, the other 2 I didn’t like that much, because were so sloopy regarding to the details, in this one I liked beautiful views and combat in the razor train is a detail that I think it’s unique so far in mods, I mean combat in trains is not used that much.
About the story, was so scfi, but I liked the idea of being on a mission in mars, I think there’re some more hl mods about mars, but this is the first i’ve played so im going to try some others.
The russian language again is a thing I didn’t understand due to the lack of english subtitles so I do that recomendation again for further works of BINOCL.
MM I think that’s all, play it is worthy.
All audio is in Russian so it was unclear what I was supposed to do.
A bit glitchy – had to noclip to get away from the helicopter.
Language was all in Russian so couldn’t understand what I was supposed to do.

The gameinfo file is bad because of Steam. Use this to fix it:

It’s in German (I think) so I could not follow it. Seems like a lot of exposition so I wasn’t sure what to do or where to go. I got to the three striders and it seemed like a trigger didn’t go off so I could not progress. Big bland maps so may not be worth the bother.
