This will not do at all. Glitch - Action - Crash - Empty Space, repeat very many times. Hugely irritating. To finish this is an act of love or masochism So I'm a masochist then. No, sorry.

Glitch – Action – Crash – Empty Space, repeat very many times.
Hugely irritating.
To finish this is an act of love or masochism
So I’m a masochist then.

Without the crashes, I probably would have given it a Maybe. I tried using a grenade in one place twice, and it crashed both times. Reloaded again, and no grenade=no crash. Another place I got into a corner and killed the fast zombies, crash. Played it a different way, no crash. It also crashed every time I tried to get past the red door (like, 5 times). When I tried to manually load Map 5 (I wasn't sure where I was), I got the "info_player_start not found" message. When I tried to load Map 6 it worked fine, except I was of course weaponless, etc. Well, the third time through the end (on Easy), I managed to do it without god mode, and using only the weapons I "should" have had...

It's a shame if anyone could not get the last chapter to auto load as it hinges around getting to the rocket launcher and ammo, which is tough. If you go in with Impulse 101 I am not sure you are experience the real end battle.

All you need to do is open the console and type <em>map chapter6</em> then press return/enter. This will start the mod immediately after the red door crash. The bad news is that you won't have the HEV suit or any weapons. I used the<em>sv_cheats 1</em> followed by <em>impulse 101</em> in the console and finished it that way. It would have bee nice to have played it properly but it was still quite fun otherwise. If that does work I will install it again and create a saved game for you.

Things take a dip in map two (and beyond): When the game goes indoors there are several annoying things that could have been easily rectified: The light props, although blaring light, are given the ‘off’ skin. Cubemaps have not been used (thus reflective objects reflect the outer skybox even indoors). The fake doors down the corridors are cheap and nasty. There is almost a total lack of sound effects (no wind when walking down the street, no nothing). For some reason the SMG1 ammo has been (annoyingly) reduced to 25 rounds per clip, and shotgun ammo to 5. The game crashed when loading the last map (chapter 6), but I got round that by loading the map via the console and cheating my weapons back. The last level was deeply frustrating. Bugs, annoyances and crashes aside I did enjoy Blitzkrieg. Reading this you wouldn’t think so, but I did. So there. The gameplay (last level aside) is decent (reminiscent of HL2’s early Metrocop battles) but this mod could have been much better.
