Closed case mod and maps..

Jedisar

<div class="IPBDescription">No one play them..ever!</div>well, ten minutes ago I played the "Closed Case" Modification for Half Life...and two minutes ago I beat it. It consisted of roughly 21 or so maps..But they took no intelligence to get through. There are no cutscenes, very few scripted things, and even then, it's just crap blowing up, and the maps take NO intelligence to navigate. They do not twist, they do not turn. You need not flip any switches. You need not THINK. I ran through, killing crap as I ran. That's how easy it is. He trys to make you fall into "traps" that even a N00BIE could dodge, And...all in all...I do not EVER want to see ANY of you Mappers here make a Mod like that or MAPS like that, let alone mods like that..EVER, or I'll be forced to strangle you with your own mouse cord. Comprende?


Now, excuse me while I go throw up at the lack of storyline in a single player mod and how a "Janitor" became Ub3r 3l33tist Soldi3r after just reporting in to work...After arriving there by a helicoptor...or so it's inferred, though the helicoptor cannot be entered, and there is no pilot...ugh..gods...Vomitose...

I liked Case Closed.  While I can not argue about lack of puzzles and "lets find switch A for door B", I thought the map layouts were nice along with enemy placement.

As for story, this is video game for pete's sake!  Espically a FPS!  No FPS (save Deus Ex) has any plot to write home about.  If you want plot, read a good book or play a table top.  Also Freeman suffers the same problems of unusual firearm training (Shepred has a case and Barney for pistols only).

Nah, Man, Freeman is trained in handling "Hazardous Environments". This dood is just a damn Janitor. You don't even get a mop or a broom as your weapon! And the storyline to this was non-existant, while USS DarkStar and Azure whatever it was where you play as barney, They had a good storyline. So did normal Half Life...But this one..ugh..NOTHING, NOTHING at all.

case closed was ok, i've seen a <b>lot</b> worse, but todesangst is a really good mod, the intro is realy well done, and there are cutscenes here and there...  but it's really short, a friend and i finished it in just under 4 hours, but that's probably because i had already played it through before, but still...

I've played Case Closed too. It's decent, but not as good as They Hunger, or Poke646. Or ETC2.

1st - i liked CC,i reviwed it with a complex of 7-7,5,the layout is good,as sayed above. There's a lot of real crap on the net.

2nd - here the mappers are great,they don't need suggestments i think...take Merk, or Ken, or Relic or...al the mappers who can teach them?

3rd - when u show us some real maps? <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> (made by u naturally)

Sweet Half-Life is the best single player mod ever, and Ive played them all. In some places I'd say that the puzzles andmap design excel far beyond Half-Life and the cut sceenes and scripted events are the best Ive ever seen.

I loved the Sweet HL mod!  It's definitely among my very favorite HLSP mods, and I think it's safe to say that I've played it more than any other SP mod.  It was completely underrated when it came out, probably because a lot of other good single-player mods appeared around the same time.

Sweet Half Life, if longer, is what HL should have been.  It is so, so cool.  Alternate endings, three new weapons, little grey men and heavy weapons grunts, tons of ingenuity, absolutely f***ing incredible bosses, and fellow hev-suited scientists that can take out an entire marine squadron with a gluon gun.

The second pack featuring maps by Koumei Satou (who 0wnz j00), the architecture is cool and in some places (like the big tube thing and the 2001 room) frightening.  You absolutely must download this mod.  Hell, you can kill freeman if you like.

The place is mostly in japanese, but the download button is clearly labelled, and the text in-game is in english (although slightly confusing, but give him a break).  And stay tuned at the end for sekrat endings.  One of them is really sad and scary, and the other one is encouraging.

Or download They Hunger, the best SP mod for HL in my opinion. Sometimes it's better than Half-Life itself. Poke646 isn't too shabby either.

pielemuis

yeah they hunger was a great mod.

Shame, I can't download sweet half-life, as it always says max connections reached.

Does anyone know about other mirrors for it?

Id rather just play Poke646 again, its beautiful and plays great. The weapons and the ending arent the greatest, but its much better than Blue Shift. Gunman Chronices isnt too bad either, still wort the occaisonal game, even if it is expensive.
