As the clock strikes 12, I can formally say Happy Halloween all! This time last year some of us were playing the original HL2 Pumpkin Night mod, and this year it's back in a new release. Something new, and disturbingly creepy at some points, well worth playing this Halloween. [br] To get yourself in the spirit, you can download the mod from Halloween HL2's download section. Have a spoooooky day guys

Is it actually going to be good? I remember last year's version sucked balls.
 
Last year's version was just too buggy to be released. It was pretty good, tbh.

Let's see how this one fares :p
 
Well they've had a whole year to fix it, I assume they've got quite a bit done in that time, hopefully improving it since last year, which i believe was rushed for release.
 
can't wait, gonna download asap .. also while i was reading this i noticed glenn posted at exactly 12:00 .. can just picture him sitting there with his cursor over the submit button waiting for the clock to strike midnight :p
 
Hehe, I'm glad someone noticed my attention to detail, I ain't just a pretty face you know? The forum clock is 7 minutes fast though D:
 
Well, when you posted it was 7 PM here on the East Coast in the states. :p So it looks like you lose everywhere else!
 
Time to try again, if it like the last one, bah to their next games....
 
I'm stuck in the game :sleep:

I am already in the top of the 'satan' room at the big farm house. Automatically sprayed a logo in the middle but nothing is happening ?? What am I suppose to to from now on?


Tractor part was a pain in the ass
 
It is obvious that they were going for a small game and there is nothing wrong with that. So why not spend time on more homemade meshes such as freaky trees and more variety in the houses and ground textures.

We end up walking for ages, bunny hoping all those boring streets, the game would have been just fine if the player only needed to go through one single street, but one with many kids running around, some papers on the floor, bin bags out, something more 'real' and lively. Source can handle a lot more than that, a lot more details that would make the game much ‘prettier’.

The maze bit was ever so pointless and was trying too hard to extend the gameplay time (no comments regarding the long and poor forest part...).
To me this is still a hit and miss, for those who haven't played the first one this one will be mildly enjoyable at best.

Good effort though, nothing really new but one bit did make me jump a little.

I am sure that in a year time those guys will come up with one of the spookiest FPS experience out there, just try and concentrate on the quality and not the quantity :]
 
God damn i mean god damn, why the hell didn't they release a better free game. I mean WTF!

Knit picky bastards, go suck a lemon.
 
A free opinion on a free game...

Hmm, sound pretty balanced to me.

I hope this isnt a nasty bug we got here...


Im going to try to put 8 pumpkins in the middle of the satanic circle and see what happens.... ugh forget it.
 
wait, its the same mod as last year? Not a sequel? No thanks. Last years was awful. Mine glitched at the end and none of the zombies could attack me. Damn I thought they were making a sequel.
 
I got to the farm house, turned on the power, got the weapons and am in the room with the symbol and body outline. frankenstein stopped following me at the fence and nothing else is happening. I'm stuck. is it a glitch? is it because the green guy didnt follow me? this has been an immense over long bore to this point. oh and i also have the spray can.
 
u have to light the candle in the devil room and get the key to open the book
 
Frankenstien?! Never saw him! Yeah I lit the candle, but where is the key?
 
I'm also stuck.

I got the weapons, the tractor out, and now I have no idea what to do. What is the spray for?

Damn ...

At the farm house there is a cable attached to the building.

Now you need to drive backwards with the tractor to the front of the house (at least at a point where you can reach the cable easily) from now on you need to attach the end of the cable to the back of your tractor (can be a real pain the zhe ass).

Now let the tractor automatically moving slowly forward, get off the tractor and go as fast as you can through the little opening of the basement. At your left there is a wooden box attacked to a rope, jump in and as the tractor moves slowly forward, the box is going up. Now you are at the top floor (from there you can unlock the locked door)
 
But where is the key ?

And how do you light the candle?

One of my favourite films ever. You could take a jumbo-jet down with one of these monkeys! :LOL:
 
Bad game, especially the maze and the wood part. I thought it was going to be scary...
