Comments on: Infiltration Mod – Half-Life 2 http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/infiltration-mod-half-life-2/ Finishing Half-Life is just the beginning! Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:40:29 +0200 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: kalkin http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/infiltration-mod-half-life-2/comment-page-2/#comment-204995 kalkin Sun, 31 May 2009 06:08:23 +0000 http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/infiltration-half-life-2-2/#comment-204995 It's been an interesting mod... The mapping is just decent however the fights are extremely well done with exactly the right amounts of health and ammo - these guys really know how to create a good fight - top marks from that point of view. The mapping bugs are plenty - more than once I've been able to "fall off the map" because I went to areas I wasn't supposed to - but I've been able to reach those areas effortlessly. More testing would have helped... Also in some places the misaligned textures were clearly visible and mildly annoying. The only bug that I encountered (played version 1.31) was the strider never blowing up the bridge - quite annoying and forced me to replay the map from the beginning - fortunately this happens pretty close to the beginning of the map. Important thing to note about the energy bars blocking access into and out of the tunnel in level 12 after you destroy the chopper - they are no match for a determined player :) I was able to go through without disabling them and suffered only a minimal amount of damage. After I finished the mod I came here and read the comments, then went back to the map and found the part that I missed the first time - I guess this is a bug but who cares :) Spoiler: in the ending sequence after killing Sina I shot the gunship and died :P So after I loaded the save I tried to go back to a point where I could shoot the gunship without falling afterwards - the corridor entrance. As soon as I reached that the credits started rolling although I haven't shot the gunship yet - weird bug I presume. At the end of it all it was enjoyable and that's all that matters! It’s been an interesting mod…

After you're taken into the lab to meet Kleiner and Mossman and have your weapons taken away along with your HEV suit. My problem is that there doesn't seem to be any way to get your suit back. There's an HEV case in the lab, but it's empty. I played several levels ahead and not found a suit. I even decompiled several maps to look for it to no avail. It's hard to believe you're supposed to play the rest of the mod without a flashlight and the ability to switch weapons. Any help would be appreciated. I’m currently playing the Infiltration mod.

When you get to the bridge and you are fighting a chopper and then a Strider comes along and your in a cut scene. If the cut scene goes longer then 20 seconds, it's stuck. Just start chapter 8 over and it should be ok. Also the end is strange but you'll see. Kinda confusing. This is a good mod with a few bug problems. I really hope they finish the story and make sure it's cleaned up before putting it out. Because of the bugs I don't think it can get a top mark. It's good though with a good story and lots of fighting. Good and buggy-Actually the bugs were not all that bad.

The 1.31 version and I'm stuck at the same place as everyone was in the 1st one. In chapter 8 in the cutscene. The strider is walking but the scene never ends and I don't get control back. This such a good mod, it's completely unbeleivable that the people that made it would let it go with so many bugs and then even after they try to fix it with a new one it still has bugs. Why bother? The mod is real good but these stupid errors are euining the game for me. This the 3rd time it's frozen up in this "new, improved version". It also took about 10 hours to download and I have a fast connection. My dl speed is 12 mbps. I’m playing the new one. The 1.31 version and I’m stuck at the same place as everyone was in the 1st one.

At one point you are given the crossbow and following sequences call to use it since you are attacked by snipers. However the bow site reveals nothing but texture and bolts fail to kill shooters. For this sequence I had to use god mod and ignore shooters until past them. Also end credits will roll early without final pix if ending sequence kills you. Also. note for those that were playing the earlier version and had to give up, I was unable to use my game serves from that earlier version so had to play through first 8 levels on god mode to catch up. Still. I recommend this mod. I thought it was a lot of fun, challenging, a good balance between indoor/outdoor, and plenty of puzzles.

The news item associated with this is dated 3 Nov 2007, which is a little scary, don't you think? This was originally planned as a patch but the changes were so great that only a new full version was released. I have downloaded it but probably won't get a chance to try it out for a while. The .rar file is enormous (about 233 MB) so it may very well still have the 'unnecessary' components found in the previous release.
