"You've been Gordon, Barney, Shephard, and all that, and what did you do all those games? Kill those poor aliens! Ever considered <i>their</i>point of view?"(something such)
I got done with it just a few minutes ago. Took about 8 hours...!
It is GREAT, excepting the bugs... most common, the hornetgun not homing like you'd expect it, but rather to some random location in the room <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'>

Only missed 2 or 3 "thoughts"...
Oh, and btw, if the ending seems like it is crap... just look to the very end of the sequence(myself I almost quit at the first part, but got the better of it, and it turned out pretty good after all.)

Liku · May 2003

*Tries it* Sounds fun.

Wow, you can play as a Alien Slave in the PS2 version too... cool.

Anyway it looks real nice. Just dont like the low polygon models... why dont they have the High Def. pack charactes? Gonna download this when I install Half-Life sometime. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

what do you mean?
if you have the High Def. pack installed it will use the High Def pack models.

Will it? Ok, nice. Thanks for telling me.

But why didn’t they have the High Dev. characters at the pictures? I mean when you go into the "models" link.

JediYoshi · May 2003

Because the people who took the pictures... <fill in the blank>

Honestly, I'm not fond of this MOD <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Liku · May 2003

Hmm... I don't know what to do. I just entered a big portal and I'm in a Yellow room, and all the doors are shut... also the models make me yawn.

Gwahir · May 2003

might want to start reading xonxt's thoughts sometime, might help you out there.

JediYoshi · May 2003

If anyone wants the HD alien slave model, I can dcc it to you on mIRC.

HD Alien Slave? Hmm... pic?

pardzh · May 2003

Got a cool concept, I'll prolly get around to DLing it and trying it out.

roachems · May 2003

god damn aliens

Catpoker · May 2003

after playing it and beating it....

i feel bad for the aliens now <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

i thought it was way to strightforward. i mean every door that you were not suppose to go though was locked...

and you only use 2 weapons really

But on the other hand, GREAT map design, really nice looking levels, and really cool how they blended the levels from the offical SP, and azure sheep.

storywise... it was kinda boring.. i mean one objective that whole time... to get that little tech ball. nothing really changed

i liked the mini bosses.. that robot was cool..

but i didnt really like the ending... (i wont give it away)

and i got the 40 ideas! w00t!

BTW: at the last part, did that happen in Azure Sheep? i didnt finish that one

I beat it, but I don't know what the Last part of POV is, so I'll work on beating to tell you.

JediYoshi · May 2003

Mmm, couldn't take a shot of the fellow, on account of I erased the MOD and I'm too lazy to get a shot of him ingame through HLSP and you can't open it with HLMV. But I'll just put it up anyways. Unzip the files in valve/models if you want to have 'em in all your HL Mods that use the Alien Slave model or just in your pov(ithink)/models for just that Mod.

'save target as'

Also, I'm not sure if those actually are the slave models, tell me if they aren't <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Liku · May 2003

But in the end of Azure Sheep, you and Kate just drive off into the desert and you don't know what happens after that, but in POV you see what happens.

Gwahir · May 2003

yeah, I never finished azure sheep, soon after meeting up with a particular female individual I didn't have a weapon, was chased by many individuals... etc. kinda stopped at that point, will pick it up again soon though.

btw: found all 40 ideas.

Obliterater · May 2003

I played Azure Sheep but stoped when the Kate person somehow managed to fall of the face of the earth when I left her somewhere so I could clear tripmines.

I found 39 of the 40 idea thingys, they are fun to read, and give it a good plot.

Really? I thought you automaticaly get all of them.

Thansal · May 2003

just finished POV, had to go to tech help once, the event with the first tank didn't trigger so I was just sorta running around trying to get it to do stuff <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I really like the plot, it is a cool idea. I also really liked the weps <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>, just to much fun <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

The entire BG they give to Xen is rather cool, the bosses kicked arse (the hound thingy and the giant bot).

How did people beat the Bot? I sorta cheated

Gwahir · May 2003

SPOILER

I didn't have many explosive weapons. I used one of the flying type, can't remember name. Then threw all my snarks at it (they didn't last long) and used that opportunity to fire all I could at it while it was distracted. Then it was just, run around, dodge the grenades, pop up, fire several shots from hivehand, repeat.

Stukabats.

But for the Loader Bot I just used the Dual Hive Hands in a certian area. He could rail me with the Minigun and his Grenades would land on the platform above me. Sometimes they landed next to me and I just moved, and came back.

BlaqWolf · May 2003

dude this mod is out!?!!? lol i didn't even know! another time NS saved my life!

thank God for the NS forums!

MutantMFM · May 2003

I tried the mod its pretty good. It has alot of conflicting sides in it causing some great battles. Also I liked the ending I hope they make another mod like this.

Speed_2_Dave · May 2003

Mod was fun, they made some parts way too easy, etc. etc., but overall it was very high quality. I enjoyed both Azure Sheep and Point of View as much as I enjoyed Poke646. That says a lot! Azure sheep gets lame and hard when you start having to take care of the chic, but at least your gun is powerful enough to take down 2 choppers. Got all 40 notes. I merely backtracked when I didn't find one.

The endings are *similar* PoV's ending comes after Azure Sheep's ending.

pielemuis · May 2003

The pulse rifles really don't fit in with Half-Life s:/

Stakhanov · May 2003

This mod is incredibly immersive... as much as original HL I'd say.
Its plot is pretty unique , Gordon Freeman may fight the government but here the alien slave slowly becomes communist <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Speed_2_Dave · May 2003

don't you mean anarchist? He started out fearing the man, still does, but dislikes the man and the poisons he slips.
