"Story:
The town Coonersville has been compromised, the rebels there have made a base at the top of the mountain, and instead of wasting Combine Soldier's
lives, have they sent headcrab canisters to the town.
After the whole town had become zombies, a Combine sweeper team was sent in to take over the whole town and take over the base.
The Combine turned the rebel base into the Quiver Mountain Research Faculty and Military Installment.
Recently, the Citadel has lost contact with the Quiver Base and the administrator feels that the remaining rebels around there might have taken it over.
The Combine sent Headcrab canisters to the town, but have somehow actually missed their target, and they have lost all track of them.
The administrator doesn't want to send in any forces, because he says something big will be coming and that they will need as many troops as possible to deal with this incoming threat.
The Combine Advisors however, feel that they need to strike and take back the base.
You are part of the team being deployed to infiltrate and take back the base. Good luck "
.... Wow. Dling now, will post with comments.

The town name isn't very european though.

My impressions so far.
Well, I haven't completed it yet (going to today) but so far it has been pretty decent.
The levels could use MUCH MORE details, it really feels like you are running in an unfinished map at some points. Tunnel after tunnel with almost no storage rooms, bathrooms etc. It feels very dead.
The level design is probably the thing I'm not pleased with most, some of the levels are better than average while some are downright bad.
Too many zombies to fight. IMO, it would been better if it would have had scary ambient sound in the background so the player would be on his toes all the time, peaking around a corner thinking that a zombie would leap out right in front of your face. It's those things that really get the player scared. F.E.A.R. did that very well at some points during the game.
Zombie after zombie leaping out from a closet gets really tedious after a while.
The story hasn't really been thrilling, you don't know what you are supposed to do except slaughter zombies and rebels.
Nice touch on the radio transmission though, but it could be used more in the game.
Though I like some things about the mod, like the fact that you are playing as a Combine. You can control other Combines was a nice touch as well. Though I would like to use Manhacks against the rebels.
Please note that I'm not bashing the mod, I'm just pointing out things I didn't really like with it. I'm really pleased that they made this as it have been really few SP mods released so far.
Oh well, I'm off to play. I'll see if it's gets any better when I completed it.

I've played the first few chapters before I got bored, impressions:
Pros:
- Intro is a nice touch/music
- Get to be a combine :thumbs:
Cons:
- Horrible script, whoever wrote the text messages should be shot.
- Level design is average, feels incomplete.
- Enemy (read: zombies) placement is very predictable.
- Confusing passages, most levels have multiple corridors that can take upwards of 5 minutes just to end up at a dead end. One time I was faced with a 'right or left' option, took the right passage which lead to a well with pipes that you could jump down on, got a text message saying "why did you jump into a hole without ladders"...
Was anyone else confused by the bridge about 5 minutes into the game? You walk on it, collapses, but you can still run around in mid-air? Then you fall, and listen to like a 3 minute dieing sequence.. I thought my comp had froze and was about to restart...

Same here.
I thought that I was supposed to do something, but nothing responded. I couldn't even turn off my flashlight.
I had headphones on with pretty loud sound, so you can guess what my reaction was when I heard the last scream.

Pro:
-The begining had a very Aliens-like atmosphere, with headcrabs crawling on the ceilings. Very cool.
-Fight rebels!
-Work with Combine!
-
-Can get really freaky at times

-retextured hands
Cons:
-At random parts, things become fullbrighted and look terrible.
-lack of props
-dead bodies are sometimes in weird positions and stiff as boards. I don't think you would fall flat down and straight if attacked by a zombie.
-It got very doom like near the middle; with zombies around the corner and simple scare tactics
-lack of new weapons
-lack of new character models
Verdict: Definally worth the download! :naughty:

I didn't enjoy Combine Destiny as much as I hoped I would.
It made baby jesus cry...

Combine destriny is good so far as i am still in the process of playing the mod. The mapping isn't the best i've seen but i really like the concept of fighting rebels as a combine and i hope more mods pick up on it. There should be more of rebel vs combine firefights and less zombies though.
this mod needs a lot more work on it.
especialy the level design is too undetailed. basic layout is ok, but there are no custom probs and always the same standard models.
after a few levels i was totaly bored. Its a nice attempt, but needs so much more work on it. Almost every level need to be redone :/
