Comments on: The Lamarr Incident – Half-Life 2: Ep2 http://www.planetphillip.com/posts/the-lamarr-incident-half-life-2-ep2/ Finishing Half-Life is just the beginning!

I liked the mirror and the steam parts a lot. And found it funny to play as a headcrab for a change and to end up on a [spoiler]dirty bathroom floor trying to find a place to hide[/spoiler]. But first time I played it, encountered a bug: [spoiler]The thing I saw in the mirror I kept on seeing outside the bathroom and the combine was just stuck pushing the cart into the wall to the infinity so I reloaded. I think it was triggered by me not jumping on the right side of the cart.[/spoiler] Couldn't figure out what to do in the [spoiler]crab swarm[/spoiler] but [spoiler]I followed a crab since I noticed they were all gone at some point except one[/spoiler]. Maybe a bit more light in that area. Also, a long chat line from Alyx flashed by my eyes and skipped to the next, in the last bit.. bit of bad timing. Oh and I could jump and hear footsteps which broke the immersion. I remember this map/mod as being a big deal when it came out? Maybe I'm mistaken but I expected more so can only rate it a Maybe.

Different, kind of fun, worth 5 minutes. Too short, but I suppose that’s good since there’s not much you can do as Lamarr.

Could be developed into something seriously interesting, too... If you played as a non-debeaked headcrab, and you could jump on people's heads and turn them into zombies that you control... and when they get killed you can walk around as a headcrab again until you find another host... Pretty neat! Jump on a combine's head and become a zombine... I'd like to see that mod. I haven’t played this yet, but I just want to say I think the concept’s hilarious.

I say that because it was much too short and all you did was run around with barely any point. But it is a good concept, I'd say. It was ‘okay’.

Too short and no way to defend yourself, even though I didn't die once - hell the Combine couldn't even hit me despite that I'm walking 0.5 mph!

Isn’t the headcrab named ‘Lamarr’ and not Larmarr?

That's the main reason for my giving it a Consider It recommendation image. I disliked the text on the screen but that's a general issue I have have with maps and mods not one specifically for this map. There are a couple of nice touches, llke the steam pipe but overall it's more of a portfolio piece rather than a playable masterpiece. This is a short mod with no combat.
