Thanks for your help,

If I get time I’ll load it up and play through again. If the gate works for me I’ll send you a save.

Can anybody else, who still has this installed, help Janus21?

Well, I guess said rebel hasn’t read the script, because there is no indication of a way out. The only door I can see is down the steps by the rocket launcher ammo box and it remains closed whatever I do. There are a couple of gates – the one I came in through and one on the other side of the courtyard by a dumpster – but I can’t get them to open either, nor can I jump the fence.

It’s a while since this thread was updated, I know, but does anyone remember what to do next? A hint would be useful here. Many thanks,

Janus21

other then that, it was great, although as i said above, pathfinding hurts.

THE GOOD:
Visual Effects on the Intro (overlays, greyscale, blurring etc) were a nice touch
Voice Acting was pretty good for a mod
I’m not 100% sure I’m right but I think at least one of the character models was new (facially) which made a change (and it was done well)
Reskinning on hands and effect/colour on weapon displays on HUD
Really liked the diagonal criss cross security beams (and the tidy little hidden stash just after them)
The section on the rails (in the pod) and the bridge section were both well executed.

SUMMARY:
A good quality mod (if you like Nova Prospekt), offers little in terms of new gameplay but is enjoyable nonetheless (if you can push yourself through the insanely frustrating middle section), is at least worth a try.

However the modification is a very enjoyable one at that with plenty of variety, action and locations with a decent sense of flow. This one includes some new voice acting, not a whole lot but a good amount to make some of the cutscenes feel fresh when encountering them, such as the one at the start after going up the flight of stairs. The modification pretty much plays like the original levels of Nova Prospekt with your Combine Soldiers in balanced amounts to the respawning Antlions either attack you or helping you out.

As already mentioned, the flow is really good from location to location as you take short breaks, solve a simple puzzle or pull a switch then back into combat be it small or large. Difficulty can range depending in what location you’re at, but there are plenty of resources and some other rebels to help you out. Weapons the player recieves during play are given at a slow but controlled rate, they aren’t all thrown into your hands during the early maps but spread out between them which adds to the challenge of using what you have.

And then you have variety be it for a few seconds or several minutes as you’ll encounter different locations and enemies to match such as the Gunship fight or the railway bridge. Everything fits well together and almost feels like an expansion of the story rather than a modification, but lacks something brand new to improve that aspect that much more, but nothing too major of a disappointment. I was hoping for more near the end, but unfortunately the adventure ended.

Design:
Sticks close to that of the original Nova Prospekt and keeps consistent throughout with several other interesting locations to gaze upon during play. Design is definitely above average and top notch in the aspects of structure, texturing and lighting. The structure is pretty much solid, and follows the design concept of how Nova Prospekt was originally made. However other locations expand on this such as the lower areas and places that have Combine structure throughout in the later levels.

Texturing is again close to the original with fitting combinations, used well throughout. Lighting is moderate and copies the original feeling of locations with its sickly, cold looking green-blue tones in larger areas while the yellow tones give a warm feeling that pretty much feels like a replica of the prison. This combination again keeps the levels looking well designed and consistent, feeling very close to the original game.

Conclusion:
Really enjoyable experience, balanced and varied gameplay with excellent design throughout.

My favorite parts:
The gunship where you have to double stack the boxes. This was pretty challenging. (The guy came to break the lock for me not problem.)

The bridge was excellent. Even though you didn’t really have to kill the strider, I did it just for fun.

Great Job!!!

Seriously, what do you mean?

Could anyone give me a hand?

I can’t wait to play this one. Many different recommendations and comments!
