I know this game's been out for a while, and that Sulkdods did an excellent review on the game (http://www.halflife2.net/articles.php?article=32) but I just wanna give a shout out to those of you who haven't played the game yet, go download it and give it a shot.
I gotta say, I was skeptical about it too, but I downloaded and tried it out just for the hell of it, and I gotta say that this is one of the best HL2 mods i've played yet. They did a very excellent job of making you feel hunted. It's a trully scarry game, mainly because of the human factor. It's not like some SP AI, where it's extremely obvious how it's going to try to scare you, and your squadmates are real people who make real mistakes.
It's sitting there in a corner with another squad mate, frantically looking back and forth, running out to shoot what you thought was 617, then turning back around and seeing that you'r squadmate is laying on the ground in a puddle of blood that really gets your addrenalin going.
I remember once, in the sewers level (it's pitch black), I was going down the sewer system, and I was all alone. I came to a little crossroad, and looked to the pipe to my right, and saw another IRIS member looking around and I thought "good, i've got backup". So I keep on going down the pipe and pass him by, when I hear THWACK and saw that somebody went down on my hud. I ran back down the pipe, glanced quickly down the pipe where my backup man was, and saw that he was gone.
Now that ****ing scared me, knowing that I was all alone in the pitch black sewers, and that the Hidden was upon me.
Excellent game, give it a shot if you haven't yet.
