This modification offers a multi-level side story of Gordon Freeman while en-route to City 17 via Highway 17 in the infamous buggy.

When Gordon’s buggy was taken by the Combine Dropship, some maps of combine outposts hidden in one of the buggy’s side compartments were lost. Gordon was immediately dispatched by Dr. Kleiner and Dr. Eli Vance to locate the buggy and return the missing maps.

Setting: The entire modification is set at night on a small, rocky island off the coast of City 17. Rugged terrain, abandon structures, and multiple combine outposts will make escaping this island hell more than just a walk in the park.

His plan: Gordon surrenders to the combine so he could be transported to the facility where the buggy was left for scrap. Upon his surrender, he found himself in a small prison facility on the rocky island, waiting for a visit from Dr. Wallace Breen who would read his sentence personally. A familiar face woke him from his deep sedation…

His mission: Locate the buggy and find a way to return to City 17 with the stolen maps.

This is designed only for Half-Life 2: Episode Two.

Some odd leveldesign work here and there, but I'll try it out... some day. Too much work atm, but thanks for the heads up.

Screenshot 3 looks like Portal.

Unfortunately the mod suffer a lot from repetitive level design (i.e. you'll go through areas that look awfully similar to a previously visited area). For the most part, however, it's quite good.

Playing at normal I also found the game a bit uneven in the difficulty part (too hard).

Still worth downloading, 'bout 5 to 7 hours of mayhem to be found.

Anyone got a review score on this? I'm tempted to give it a whirl on the weekend.

Hi,

Well I am quite baffled - am I playing the same mod as everyone else?!? I’ve looked at all the screenshots - both here and elsewhere - and I don’t recognise anything, except for one picture.

Anyway, presumably (?), I am on the first level - named “island escape”. I’ve killed all the Combine, and I am now wandering about the harbour - and office area - wondering what the hell I am supposed to do next? How do I get to the ‘next level’? I’m sure I’ve been through every door, area, corridor, etc, that you can - but I’m just going around in circles.

Any clues for me?
