   If you want to play this on Steam you also need to download the patch, although there is a slight error in the patch instructions. The directory in the patch .zip is named ‘resource’, you need to rename it ‘resources’ for the mod to show up in Steam.

   This is a must have mod. I loved it. Played it the other day. It is worth hunting down. Checked out the http://andrej.mernik.eu/half-life/modifikacije/ site. SWEET! Lots of vintage stuff there

   The mod has some things going for it, the custom weapons, custom grunts with desert camo, and one that had a sugegasa (bamboo hat), custom snow grunts and some unique locals.

   But unfortunately its not enough to save it from the invisible wall syndrome. Many places that seem like you can go, you can’t… alot of the time for no real reason. Like when you go down a stair way thats broken on the end, you can’t even jump to your death.
   A place where there was a a fairly large broken hole in the wall, you couldn’t get through. Yet another obscure part of the wall that had a smaller hole, somehow the game had expected you to know that you had to hit it with your knife to make it a bigger hole… WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER NOTICEABLY LARGER HOLE?
   Even regular snow terrain is difficult to move over because there seems to be invisible walls all around it.

   But if that isn’t annoying enough the game also has divergent paths that go to dead ends, meaning that you also have to backtrack regularly. This is a big no-no. Valve didn’t put any backtracking in their game because backtracking is padding, artificial difficulty and makes the game tedious faster than anything else. Anyone who did not learn that lesson from valve shouldn’t be making mods.

   Another part that’s close to the beginning of the game is where you had to randomly find a invisible ladder to climb up that made the game just a tad more frustrating then it already is.

   There where some good ideas though, the voice acting was a nice touch that I actually liked (even though it didn’t fit the mood that the name of the mod seemed to suggest), a more serious tone would have been fitting. Silent protagonists are the lamest things in games IMO.
   I would not recommend this mod. Only because a patch never came.

   Very unique looking mod, with some flaws but nonetheless worth playing.

   Pro’s:
   -New textures, sounds, HUD, etc.
   -Many weapons
   -Very good, detailed graphics and leveldesign, nice intro
   -Own hazard course
   -Outdoor levels
   -Drum & bass music, but doesn’t fit to setting
   -Some puzzles

   Con’s:
   -Weird story
   -Tight tunnels, pathways etc.
   -Some getting-stuck bugs (clipping), graphic bugs
   -Less action for my taste
