There are issues with keybinding in this mod.
Andyb recommends opening chapter1.cfg in the cfg folder with notepad. Delete everything in it and then add map sp_c14_1. I recommend keeping a copy of the original file, just in case something goes wrong.
- Copy the Half-Life 2 Calamity folder into your SourceMods folder.

For me, the best aspect of this mod was the combat. It was extremely well paced and staged. At times it was extremely intense, and most times it was pretty god damned exhilarating. The final battle was pretty massive, and my one piece of advise would be to keep moving; constantly run and circle strafe those Combine bastards.
The settings, the mapping, are all very well done. At times very atmospheric, and others quite compelling or beautiful. It’s clear that the author has a good sense of space, and knows how to use it to construct engaging environments.
I’m a big fan of story centered games, and I appreciate this mod’s attempts at constructing a decent narrative. There are some well done cinematics, and there are moments that open up some pretty interesting concepts, like some of the history behind the Half-Life universe. But unfortunately the story never really takes shape, and the ending seems more non sequitur than it does ambiguous. But I can see what the author was trying to do. And I will admit, there have only been a very small number of games that I think have successfully conveyed a meaningful and immersive story. And furthermore, I admit that for most people, the real attraction of a game is its gameplay. And this one succeeds very well at that.
