Yeah. Phenomenal. Wonderful.
Some challenging combat too on Normal - HL2 had none of that.
Some of the creativity and subversion of existing content is fantastic; reminds me of the old days where anything was possible even with limited materials, for example Neil Manke making a SPACESHIP out of standard HL1 stock.
Looking forward to the third episode. How about some Striders and other assorted bad boys next time around? 
looks cool, i enjoyed #1, i'll have to give this a try when i get home.

Anyway, the second part was brilliant! Level design kicks Valve's buttocks in terms of freedom of movement and multiple pathways enabling far richer strategic possibilities.
Yikes, well I haven't been into checking mods out alot in the last couple of years.
Should try and chance that I guess 
wow the mapping and stuff just blew my mind away . this person is very talented. .. . .. very. i seriously can't wait to see whats comming around the ben here.
Visuals is excellent, gameplay ok, the find a button miles away and backpedal gamestyle is becoming a tad overused now.
In-fucking-credible.
And what did he do to the lighting? That is some of the best lighting I've seen in Source.
Just played it, and while I thoroughly enjoyed the first one, this second part feels a little bit like a "deja vu". Of course not in the mapping sense, but in terms of history and gameplay. Like GL said, the finding a button far away is nice for a while, then it gets boring because it gets predictable. And while the idea of going to the same place multiple times and having different things happen is always a welcome addition to a level, I don't like the feeling of going in circles trying to find some obscure switch, which already was a sensation I had playing the first level, though not on the same scale.
Ah, true, I agree. When I saw those orange cask things, I immediatly thought of Quake for some reason.
i thought "awesome"

indeed, this is the best single player mod out there for source imo =)
Hell, it even rivals hl2.
yep, this is definitely the best singleplayer mod for hl2 out there, at the moment. The story telling isn't the best possible, but what can you do unless you want to do voice acting 
I thought it was a fantastic play through, read my review here if you wish to: http://%7boption%7d
the only thing i want is a little more variety. running around to find buttons and kill either a few headcrabs, a million basic combines, or a handful of elite combines gets super redudant. i guess that's more of a hl2 problem though.
The level design and atmosphere in this one is great. There was a very cool effect in that tall room where a huge gun sound happened every few seconds and the view dimmed black a little (although almost too much). Very cool though, a more detailed and atmospheric version of Combine.
Did anyone find it a bit easier than the first episode? I remember the end of episode 1 was really quite a challenge on hard settings. Aesthetically episode 2 was great, but the game-play was a let down at the end.
Then again, episode 3 could just be around the corner.
if you call "around the corner" 6 months, then yeah, around the corner

in true Half-Life fashion, lol.
hmm im a little lost. What do I do when im up on top (where the combines are on the catwalks). On top of the train tracks.
in the middle there is a room with a shield, throw a grenade in there to knock the plug off and turn the shield off
