Hey people, just wanted to inform you of a new singleplayer mod for HL2. And unlike most of the others, this one is well underway, and we have all of our ideas planned, thoughtout, and made sure they were possible by asking Gabe Newell himself. So here goes.
Story
As you might be able to tell by the name of our mod, this story takes place sometime a few years after HL1 ends. Shortly after the events, a terrible plague of aliens started to infest Earth. With little or no attempt of being able to retaliate, the human race has gone into hiding. Gordon, your player, recalls a time from his past. He recalls hearing something about how his experiment that went terribly wrong could have been reversed. He was told this info by Kliener, a day before the experiment went wrong (the beginning of HL). So being the only man able to stop the onslaught, Gordon Freeman returns to the famous Black Mesa Research Facility. However, it lies in complete ruins, the tram hanging on one cable, sparks flying, and crumbled pieces of the building all over.
Gameplay
We have done extensive research on HL, OP4, and Blueshift, and got a pretty accurate scale of the entire Black Mesa Facility. You'll return to make of the areas that you traveled through as Gordon, Adrian, and Barney. However, this time around, things are in wreck (even more than they were), its alot quiter, but believe me, that doesn't mean all the baddies are gone
.
Overall
You'll enjoy it. Trust me, we made a test run on the HL engine with the map we've created (we already made the map, should take you 12-18 hours to beat). Sent it to some people, and their responses were "holy shit", and "omg i remember this! damnnnn what happened here..." Its definately a game that will keep you guessing, and once we get it onto HL2 with the physics and stuff, we will properly integrate puzzles and gameplay values.
Isn't it just like...Old times Mod Leader,
