Tei:

Combine Destiny is a TERRiBLE mod. Avoid it!

i will be honest; i never finished it. i know it’s short, but the game can’t keep my attention past the introduction. Even the intro is boring! All of the game’s interiors are boring concrete rooms with NO detail. No pipes, no clutter, no nothing. The level design reminded me of Wolf3D. Traverse the big square room to…ANOTHER large square room. i felt like i was playing a work-in-progress. There were far too many enemies without very much ammo. i fought through half of it with the stun baton because i kept running out of ammo.

i even found two game-breaking goofs in one room: After fighting a hoard of poison crab zombies with only a stun baton, you’re left to jump out a window about 30 feet in the air. With less than 25 health, you are killed on impact. There’s nowhere else to go and NO HEALTH pickups. in the same room -provided you survive your freefall- is a dumpster you can jump into for health items and ammo…but you can’t get OUT of said dumpster without using the crates inside as stairs. But that defeats the purpose of climbing in there in the first place! You have to BREAK the boxes to get the health! if you’re dumb enough to save after picking up health like i did, you’re stuck with no way out.

The soundtrack was “composed” in MiDi, there’s no detail to any of its boring map “designs”, there’s too many enemies randomly placed with too little ammo and combine follower Ai hardly works at all. The whole game felt like it was slapped together by a 8 year old in one week. The only think the mod has going for it is the plot. i was hoping for a good story that would put me in Combine shoes.

…and was sorely disappointed.

-Kawai Tei-

You seemed to fail miserably at that game, it was not that hard or ugly at all. Of course, it sucks compared to it’s sequel, but only by comparison.

I tried Eye Of The Storm, does seem quite good. Part 2 is coming out soon anyway.

Pyroclase · November 24, 2018, 6:53pm

I agree, the only problem with that mod was the poor implementation of hunters.

Dude you didn’t mention Afraid of Monsters Director’s Cut!

That has got to be the best, most amazing horror mod for HL! It’s amazing.

I had played all the action mods…because of boring

magu2k · November 24, 2018, 10:10pm

Are there any mods that are similar to a locked room concept, like The Crimson Room, etc?

furon_117 · August 11, 2020, 4:55am

i would suggest Blind Monks Society https://www.moddb.com/mods/blind-monks-society , the mod is audio only so youl need good head phones or 5.1 surround sound, this mod also has so monty python style humor, id all so suggest dayhard but i cant get it to work so you; have to find a working one your self, also dystopia is fun but no one plays it , in terms of portal mods id suggest portal prelude, aperture de’ja vu ,gamma energy has just been released so im going to play that heres the website https://gammaenergy.net/ just type download and press the link (you’l have to look for it)

Protip: play it.

_amp_955_dam · August 11, 2020, 4:56am

Half Mind.

Trust me, it’s funny in a retardedly stupid way.

Zeus · November 24, 2018, 10:10pm

I’m amazed nobody has suggested Human Error yet. It’s a brilliant mod that places you in the shoes of a Civil Protection Officer trying to subdue the resistance on the outskirts of C17. Super special secret spoiler that’s not hard to figure out:
[COLOR=‘black’]EVERYONE DIES FROM A PORTAL STORM AT THE END

Stuntz · November 24, 2018, 10:10pm

^ O yeah, I replayed that mod so many times… Stating the obvious here… They Hunger for Half-Life 1… Someplace Else for Half-Life 1 (This was made by Adam Foster of Minerva… Paranoia for Half-Life 1… and Mission Improbable for HL2 Ep2. This is all off my mind for right now.

DrGonzo · November 24, 2018, 10:10pm

Reissues for HL1 is rather good. And also rather bad. It’s a compilation of various HL 1 maps.
