Author’s Note
“Re-Search and Destroy is a single player Half-Life 2 level that takes Gordon Freeman through a Combine research facility to cripple the Combine’s teleportation research efforts. I focused on creating both interesting combat situations as well as narrative elements that would give the player a sense of purpose, a sense of place, and motivation to keep playing. This level was used as a test level to collect data for my thesis: Importance of Story in Single Player First Person Shooters.”

For what it is, it’s pretty good. Very linear, but still with some backtracking and stair climbing. I’m not really a lover of text on the screen but at least it doesn’t ruin the map.
It could have been a bit harder, perhaps I am getting better!

well to be honest with you… i really dislike mods that have GORDEN FREEMAN.. its just.. doesn’t sense.. at least be creative with another name instead of the old Gorden man mods… -_-

Not to bad, I like the close quarters, keeps ya on your toes!! BTW, @2 if they took Gordon and crew out and used someone else, it would be like Ubisoft did with FarCry2 when they took the main caracters (Jack Carver and others) out, just nothing there but running around Africa! I removed it and gave the disk away!! Sorry for getting off subject, PP.

Anyone else having a problem with the AI getting disabled if you die?
Screen says AI disabled if you die or quick load.
Just wondering what the command was to ‘re-enable it’ when that happens either on this one or others

in the console you can type ai_disable 0

Good little shooter that plays well and if you want 10 minutes of fun without being over-taxed then give it a go.

Cheers!

I’m torn between PIL and PIN. It’s got Combine. It’s got vent crawling. It’s short.
My squad member seemed to have trouble following me to the top floor, so I had to backtrack a couple of times to get him.

I had a good time with this map ! Visuals were good classic ” back home ” HL2. Combat was nicely face to face ( on hard ).I have to admit that the text prompts did help the story continuity of this short map. Played pretty well with just a glitch or two, but overall a good play. Nice piece Clancy !

play it when ya have 10 mins or so, its worth it. basic level map. I too hate text on screen, but i suppose its better than bad voice, at least you know what to do and where to do it and it had an “end” . brings a tear to my eye every time someone “helping” me gets wasted oh the unjust acts of warfare lol
