I'd say I like everything this mod ADDs. It does a great job at revitalizing movement and gun play, effects look great, the attachments look and feel appropriate, however...

There are WAY too many ♥♥♥♥♥♥ bugs in this mod. On my first play through, I noticed huge amounts of clipping issues, the floor just seems to catch you in certain places, which is very annoying during combat in a game where movement is essential. There was texture mapping issues, like blocks in the map editor had overlapped.

WAY WAY WAY too many "pinch points" where I would take random damage from doors or certain parts of the map where it seems like the game logic thinks i'm getting squished. And I know its just a physics issue that occurred in base HL but it was very rare to happen and I barely noticed when it did.

The level where you get abducted by the HECU guys didn't play out right, I became stuck in the scene level, and had to reload. Many scripted events didn't function properly either, especially in the early chapters. Headcrabs clipping into walls, et cetera.

I know from doing level design that many of these issues (clipping problems, texture overlap, pinch points) are relatively easy fixes, its just a hassle to recomplie every level that was edited, but you really shouldn't have shipped it like this without serious play testing.

I am sorry I really want to give this mod a recommendation, as it clearly has had a lot of work put in, and makes great additions to the replay-ability and enjoyment of HL, but, I cannot with how many problems I encountered that directly take away from the enjoyment of this mod.

Didn't fix the Bhop.
Character Models changed to be worse. Iconic guard models now may have no helmet, look different.
Overall somehow more buggy, feels wrong, movement off, cant fix it. Makes me crazy, they messed that up.
