Story
After the Assault on Roswell you destroyed the Alien Virus. at least you think you did !, it seems you yourself were infected and have become a carrier of this mind altering disease and are the unwilling host bringing the virus to your place of birth Portown. (a medium sized town on the coast.)
With increasing intensity the pains in your head and the epileptic seizures you endure along with the alarming waking nightmares of unknown evil beings bring you to the conclusion you must find a cure or die trying, with most of Portown losing control with the disease, you have become the Avatar and the last hope of civilization, but at the same time you are the Reaper of all despair and destruction. The future is in your hands ultimate evil or ultimate salvation. The choice is yours are you up to it?
After going to see your Scientist friends at the Black Mess-up Facility they confirmed you were indeed infected with an Alien Virus and that they had no cure as yet but said that the head of Black Mess-up wanted someone to return to Portown to contain the Virus and as you spread it in the first place you seemed like the most obvious choice.
He also said that if no cure was found then elimination of all suspected contaminants must be completed and you must take the Red Pill (not the white one) when you have completed this mission!
Notes
The download file includes version 1.2, the 1.3 patch and also the optional 1.4 patch, which is for those who feel the mod is too hard, and lowers the damage from 20 to 10 when saving without a Save-Gem.

I have attempted to play through this mod 3 or 4 times without ever getting near the end, I just give up in frustration every time. It seems such a waste of some very good work and top class mapping that we finish up with a game almost unplayable. The level of hardness and complexity set by the authors results in a game without fun, no flow and poor balance of all the gameplay elements. I am aways worried about posting a negative view relative to a game which has so much petention, new ldeas and top class design from a very talented team of mappers, but at the end of the day if you produce a game without fun and near impossible to play, then whats the point.

Rating: 4/5
Good: All new textures, people, etc; unique saving system; first/third person views available.
Bad: The colors burn my eyes!; third person is somewhat hard to play in.
Review:
Riot in Progress is a sequel to the mod Assault on Roswell. In AoR, you were destined to destroy a virus, and in the end, you do, or did you? RiP picks up where it left off, and it seems you yourself were infected and have become a carrier of this mind altering disease, and you are the unknown host bringing the virus to your home of Portown. Good story, and as such, you go around killing everything that moves. Zombies, soldiers, etc. The only bad things I can say about this are minor. First, there are a lot of colors, like neon colors.
Second, it might be too hard for some folks, but fortunately, there is a patch to make it easier. And lastly, I got stuck in third person view once, and had to resort to uninstalling, then reinstalling the mod. After that, it worked fine. The third person is definitely unique, and there are some places in which it is indispensable. It reminds me of Splinter Cell and Hitman, though certainly not as polished. Overall, this mod is cool, so you should probably go get it.

Looks good. Cant play very far, got stuck in 3rd person and I am in another room away from the camera. Seems to be no control over when 3rd person comes on. The bound keys don’t control it.
Most frustrating. Big download, good setup installer. Unplayable. 1/5

Could somebody please help me in finishing this mod? I’ve reached ahsew1c, and can’t figure out how to open the gate directly after the exploding crate. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

Figured out how to continue the map, nevermind.
