Extreme - Half-Life 2

I’ve just played the first part & holy bat ****! You start out guns blazing in an all out combine war. I love it when the tiles go tink from bullets & when you’re done, they’re laying everywhere & you feel like you’ve just been in the Matrix. Note: make your shots count because not only do you not have very much cover; as the body count adds up, you can’t collect weapons or ammo from them. That part truly sucks.

I had to stop playing this because it game me a headache. Too much of an adrenaline rush I think. I’m sure someone else will post about the graphics as I didn’t have much time to pay real close attention since I getting my *** kicked from everywhere. They should have called this Half Life Massacre because that’s basically what happens to you. The AI is great though. Tough, tricky little ******** move too fast. My favortie level so far has been the Recreational Area. Great music for that adrenaline rush (although the music doesn’t last long enough for me). It’s mods like these that I like to turn the lights out, put on the headphones or have the stereo speakers blazing my own personal *** kicking soundtrack (because nobody (yet) has time to say anything). Oh, I did notice that you can collect some enemies weapons/ammo, but not all of them. Don’t know why that is. Anyway, I thought it was great fun. I just wish my head would stop spinning for a while & I would quit shaking.

Damn this r0×0rs my b0×0rz. Heh ;D Nice mod, and from far is one of the best I already played so far. Good work, very good work.

Frederick, are you playing the Trials of Gordon part?

Expecting a Fluffy The Hamster review? Well, you’re not getting one. This mod is way too big and i’v already hammered my bandwidth too much for awhile. Sorry.

Goddess, I believe I had wasted all the combines in the prison, then I killed the zombies in their cells, then I freed the humans from their cells. Now I am standing around with 4 humans staring at me and no where to go. I suspect one of the combines must be hiding on the upper level. I will have to try grenading the upper level to kill off that coward so the level will finish.

Uh, oh…humans gotta die, too? But I deliberately fought all the bad guys myself to keep the others alive. Sigh! Well, it’s worth a try.

Frederick, I just played that level again & freed the prisoners at the end & it sill let me advance to the next round. After killing the combines (it will tell you the level is complete), just walk back towards the door you came from & you should see a teleporter (glowing ball of some sort).

Okay, I let the humans die this time. I could not kill them myself, although I tried. The next level opened up. So much for trying to protect the humans. Thanks for the help.

I am to the point where it says it is to be continued which I assume might happen someday. I thought the developer of this certainly has potential and hope he will continue his work. I played it on the usual medium setting and did use cheats when the frustration level got too high. I thought there were too many foes which tended to come in waves and limited reasonable progress at a reasonable rate. More arcade than a story. I grew longer in the tooth and grayer due to long load times, but that is what we get with HL2.

The trials DO get to be a bit monotonous, but I trooped ahead anyway just to finish. Didn’t care for the other 2 maps included with it. Entrapment was decent enough. As for your game crashing. I had that problem in the level as well (multiple, multiple times). After it happened the first time, I would go to a saved game, but after that any time I fired my rockets, it would immediately crash. Finally had to uninstall it, re-install it, load the closest map & start from there. Took me about 5-6 tries to finally get it to not crash. Of course, women do tend to have more patience than men.

Mine also crashed which, if I didn’t know better, would lead me to believe the crashes and freezes were built-in.

It started off that way, but then again, I’ve never played an arcade type like that before. It did get a bit old &, of course, there’s the problem with it crashing on one of the levels. I just want to say that I hope that doesn’t keep people from playing the “Entrapment” portion of the game. No computer crashes or anything & it’s more along the lines of your traditional mod.

Just ignore me! The labels on the consoles show as enabled when they aren’t and vice versa.

Why I can’t download that ? Broken link ?

This is really horrible un-balanced mod!!

HELP!!!!! I’m stuck on level “Combinebusiness 4″. I have killed all the hordes of combine and then it says “Level Complete”, but I can’t find any opening to get out of it, and onto to the next level. Please someone help me out here. I really would be so grateful.
