As a soldier one struggles at same time as in Half-Life in the alien infested station. You are Cpl. Adrian Shephard, one of the military specialists of the Hazardous Environment Combat Unit (HECU) sent in by the government to contain and silence the Black Mesa Research Facility. Shephard travels through new and familiar areas of the Black Mesa facility, encountering new weapons and NPC's. In some segments one receives companion's support (sanitation workers or men with welding torches who are able to open closed doors). There are more puzzles, but all are heavily logical and not especially difficult. The levels have succeeded again very well and the atmosphere is again in abundance and well done. However, one of the biggest strengths of the original, fighting against intelligent soldiers, has ceased. The mission-CD thereby loses something in motivating the player. This CD is still absolutely advisable to be played. The degree of difficulty was slightly lowered so that newcomers could play through it also. Advanced players and pros can start at the higher degree of difficulty, because in the easiest one they will have played through the game, otherwise, too quickly. There are new enemies: Zombie Grunt, Pit Drone, Shock Trooper and Voltigore, plus some new boss creatures. It features an extended multiplayer, incorporating the various new environments and weapons into the original deathmatch mode used in Half-Life. After release, a new capture the flag mode with additional levels, items and powerups. | ||
