I didn't read the whole thread, but I figured I'd post some thoughts.
Great mod Romeo. When I downloaded and installed this, my 9 year old cousin was around, and he loves watching and playing PC games, so after I had my first run at it, he proceeded to play the level roughly 8 more times in the same night during his time at my house.
Suggestions:
Allow us to skip the opening sequence, up until we are dropped off from the ships. I hesitate playing this again after seeing it played so much the other night because the beginning gets tiresome after a while.
There is a recurring bug that keeps on pestering me. I quicksave my game, and then say the commander dies, or I die, when I load from where I quicksaved, my game will almost always crash. Usually, I can walk around before it does for a little bit, but if I attempt to tell someone to move, it will crash. Also, a few seconds after a bunch of antlions started to come in and the fighting started, my game crashed.
Also, is it possible to get this to run smoothly at all? I ended up lowering my resolution to 1024x768 from 1280x960, turned off AA completely, set AF to Bilinear, and I still get amazing choppiness. I don't have a bad system or anything, so I'm not sure what's up. I'm also playing the Low-end version, but still, lots of choppiness all the time during the shooting, but as soon as it stops I'm fine.

I'm still not sure what I'm doing here to be honest. The game ends sometimes when I have loads of life left. I take it I'm supposed to be protecting the other character but is it the green or blue guy? How do you know how much energy he has? It doesn't seem to display.
One other gripe - It's difficult to control your fellow Combine troops. Getting them to stay where they are sent & also getting them to ascend ramps is difficult. Be good if you could create several squads & select them with a single button. That would be good for setting up retreats & covering fire.
agreed. Annoying that sequence once you've watched it a few times.
You can quick save? How do you load up your save position? Actually I wouldn't know when to quick save! Since I've no real way of telling how well I'm doing!

Oh man! Having to watch out for that green idiot is a real bind. I'm doing okay myself but he doesn't seem to know what the feck is going on half the time!!! I wish he was out of the equation so I could just get on with looking out for my own arse!
Ah ha!!Insane said:Look at keyboard options
...... Unfortunately it seems the game doesn't like being loaded to much - It seems to crash whenver anything happens (When you die it crashes, If you try to select annoying dumb ass green dood it crashes).

Yeah, Romeo, don't take it the wrong way. The game is an absolute joy to play, it's just, well, I hate having to start all over again in any game. It's just annoying.
It's more luck than judgement - Sometimes you make it, sometimes you don't! You've got the right idea with the turrets watching the front door but basically all your men are going to get slaughtered once old matey comes up through the floor. Apart from green dood, that is, who seems impervious beyond his stupidity & general pain in the arse qualities!! He's likely to be the only one who survives this onslaught.pvtbones said:

hey, i just got the mod, it's brilliant. But two things : 1) the combine team controls are really good but there should be a way to turn it off, i got really bored controlling them.
2) In chapter 1, i got to the helicopter bombing bit, but commander vesque randomnly dissapered (i thought he died, but he can't can he?) and two helicopters got stuck together so i had to delete 1.
AND IT WONT LOAD WITHOUT CRASHING !!! ARRGRGGGRGRGHHH its so annoying!
(great game though, well done).

Thats bugging me as well. Im' getting bored with going through the same parts over & over only for the game to end because green dood is a bit of twat! I was doing okay on my jack. I should be able to fight on alone.Spike said:

i like the green bloke, i don't think he can die (except for one annoying time) he is quite useful as he takes all the antlions while you run and laugh at him.
There should be a option for "Zombie Troopers Deuce" Where you are in the same base but you have to hold of millions of zombie hordes. The zombies can get into the base by climbing up ramps.

The mod needs more build up... more umph.. less "Oh crap I'm gonna die!" mechanisms!
Perhaps it would be best to make the combine in general tougher, so they can hold the line, and then increase the length of the ant lion waves (more fun) and give the player infinite ammunition.
Some are having some FPS problems, but it's not too choppy for me.
Anywho, that's just my suggestion, but I'm not making the mod.

No. And if you riun for it & leave green dood on his own he gets killed .............. At least I think thats what happens because I still have loads of energy & the game ends!Polar_Bear said:Meh, I stopped playing this mod and gave up after I got to the endwhere the helicopters bomb the heck out of you.
There's no way to protect against that...

Puzzlemaker! You've stumbled across my real abode. Now go post on the Forsaken forums some so that I can reply.
OH and a general announcement to these beloved boards: Forsaken is completely and utterly amazing, awesome, and kickass. And the team is also cool.

Is there much hope of a really good SP mod on the horizon? There's a shed load of MP mods which is great but I still love a good SP game. I want something that is actually everything that I had hoped for in HL2. Namely a really good challenge & engaging combat (Where as HL2 offered very little challenge & great gameplay but the comabt was lacking).Puzzlemaker said:

what you do is you make vesque stand in the frontal center of the platform thingie of the second part. He will not get crushed.
I also need help at the ending part
I think vesque dies at that part(from the bombs)... which is really annoying.

Yeah, just the same problem as me. I can't beleve he dies tho cause both me and him stands under the ledge of the wall. Is it the way it's supposed to end or should the game continue?D4RK3 54B3R said:
