The best thing was that, after playing Azure Sheep, everything tied in so well. All of the small bits in maps which didn’t seem to make any sense tie in as Xonxt crosses paths with the main character from Azure Sheep. It was new and innovative that instead of health packs / batteries, the design would give you a few scientists to kill and sap the energy from.

Overall, one of my favourite half-life mods. I particularly love how it is still fresh and interesting because it uses new concepts. No really annoying bits, and it wasn’t too long either!

Or even as a Combine Advisor, that’d be fun.

However, even if the idea of playing a Vortigaunt seems interesting – it has a few noteworthy weaknesses. I personally found the difficulty to be quite easy, considering that the secondary attack of the main weapon steals life from the targeted enemies, but this is obviously done to counter an obvious gameplay problem of making the protagonist different from its human counterparts.

The other weapons are quite useless, considering they don’t provide the same previously mentioned advantage of the main weapon. In the end, the level design is superior to that of Azure Sheep, which is more than welcome.

Even with the aforementioned weaknesses, the storyline is definitely original, and is worthy of its Source engine, of which the author has unfortunately put on hold.

anyone know how to move this along??

PS, I don’t like how this mod kind of tampers with the half-life story, esp the Gman special forces.

Those are the only things I didn’t like about the mod, The rest was good and much better than azure sheep.

I am in the room past sector D after getting off the train when the G man will appear.. i shot thornets towards the turrets to make the other ones take it down and so i did again and took them all out.. so… what now? I’m stuck where do i have to go???

i tried everything the door won’t open and tried to jump over the fence but i didnt make it? any clues? Thanx!

The gameplay isn’t quite on par with the story… but it’s damned close. Your status as a super worker (explained in one of those handy journal updates) grants you more speed, stamina, and capability than the average alien slave. New weapons – as well as new takes on old weapons – are featured. The ability to heal yourself through your electrical attack (explained in a journal update) insures that you’ll be using it most of the time… which is dissapointing, but not an issue that detracts from the game’s overall playability. Many areas have you fighting alongside other Xen aliens, including a brand-new warrior worker (journal update… yeah).

Perhaps one of my favorite features of this mod is the fact that its story ties in with that of Azure Sheep, another excellent (if not this excellent…) mod. Be sure to play Azure Sheep first so as to pick up on some of the tie-ins POV contains. POV’s ending ties it together with Azure Sheep very nicely. In addition, the ending is bittersweet… what’s even more amazing than the fact that a mod can even HAVE a bittersweet ending is the fact that POV pulls it off with zero cheesiness.

My only real gripe with this mod is that it introduces several new human enemies, who carry new and intriguing weapons… the “sergeant,” for example, lugs around a very beefy machine gun that looks like it would be an absolute joy to unleash on a roomful of enemies. Unfortunately, you’re never given this opportunity… even though the sergeant drops the weapon when he dies, you’re unable to pick it up.

In short: INCREDIBLE. PLAY IT NOW!!1!1!1one!!11!

I loved everything about this mod, especially the immense & detailed story line involved & how it was presented. I’m glad that there’s going to be more to come.

I’ll publish a walkthrough if somebody wants to write one.

Review:
I must say that this is one cool mod. If you can find another mod that places you in the shoes of someone other than human, then you win. So the story is cool. Basically, you are a factory worker, and when the humans come to Xen, they steal this everything-weapon, called the XTBS, and you must go get it back, because it’s your project.

Anyway, the concept is cool, and so is the way that you gain health back. Since you are a Xenizen, you cannot use the HEV chargers or MED stations. Just remember that. As for the minuses, they are small. First, I thought the campaign was rather short, but it is high-quality. Second, the sounds that are used for some of the things had me bashing my head into the wall. Ok, not really, but I was close. And third, the ‘flashlight’ you get to use is somewhat weak, but I think that may be my low-quality monitor. So, overall this is a cool mod, go download it.
