Comments on: New Victim – Half-Life 2: Ep1 http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/new-victim-half-life-2-ep1/ Finishing Half-Life is just the beginning!

About mod itself, russian is not my cup of tea so I'm not sure for scenario but it's not boring. Design is a quite odd with some strange pipes here and there, mysterious passway, and HUGE area on the end, and few enemy in. One word about the labyrinth, I was thinking I was in a dungeon, and will meet a dragon. Last map is very buggy, first you can't reach it with airboat and then, extreme lag after 10 seconds. Maybe this "pirate" mod was on alpha release when it was published but it's not so bad. Ok I finally could run it with old cut/paste method.

Maps look ugly and unplayable. I didn't at least have the menu appearing. I think it comes from the mod itself because maps look fine when I load directly on EP1. Maybe it's due to 2010 Update but I didn't find a solutions. Does anyone have one ? Tried to play this mod today and I’m a bit trouble. Maps look ugly and unplayable.

Only play this one if you have nothing better to do, I got feed-up with that door sequence and decided it was time to which some paint dry.

It had lots of fighting but, yea, the rooms were way too big but I couldn't finish it because it kept freezing up on me somewhere near the end. Too bad as I was liking it. I'd say they need to shrink everything down some and clean it up so there's no bugs and it's a good one. I don’t know, I kinda liked it actually.

I call this a tourist mod! I felt like one all along up to map 11 and then I quit. Since I’m curious by nature, I played it. I call this a tourist mod!

Sticky ladders. At least 2 sections were near identical copies of mods I have played before. Still, I'm glad I played it; mostly out of curiosity.. Rather boring, not enough combat.

The inside spaces were too big for my likeing, but to each thier own! Other than that when I got to the end of map 11 it not only wouldn't load, it crashed my computer, and had to do a hard restart!! (I know poor baby!) :-( Had to manually load map 12. I think I need to learn Russian, haven't any idea what Kliener or Barney said?? BTW: What is a "official mod-converter"??

The level design is bland, the fighting predictable and the overall feel one of unimaginative. I have definitely have played some levels before and wish I didn't have to play them again. Whilst it's nice to have large mods released, it's more about quality than quantity. Only play this if you need a fix but my advice is go cold turkey!
