[EP2] Mission Improbable

[insta]

Mission Improbable is my singleplayer project that I've been working on since February 09.

The mod is planned over 3 maps, each released individually. The first part is now available for download.

In this first map the player is tasked with reactivating a remote Resistance listening post. The map takes

place in and around an old lighthouse station, and should offer around 30 minutes of gameplay.

i just played through it. overall there was a good balance in gameplay, which was enjoyable. two things bothered me:

a) not enough guides in certain places as to what the player has to do. for instance,

the gunship cave/tunnel was really hard to spot at first, as was the correct door at bridge to the lighthouse

b) there was a stark contrast between low detail and high detail in the skybox ratio. lost some of the hl2 feeling when i stopped and looked around.

those are fairly minor though. it's a respectable and entertaining release, here's to hoping the next episode will be just as good.

Why did everyone had such a hard time spotting

the cave

, it was right in front of you...

[JeanPaul]

Fuck yeah going to play now

[Pampers]

fun and short only died once when a combine with a shotgun surprised me in the lighttower, that said, i really liked how the combine moved inside the house taking cover and shit

[JeanPaul]

That was very well done

Had me down to 1 health a few times

I do agree though, that skybox is horrendous in some areas

Just finished it, really good fun a nice mix of game play in a relatively small space.

Only died twice, once because i sprinted across the bridge into a combine assault, the second time because apparently an auto-save was right in front of them .

[dissonance]

Very enjoyable combat, i'll definitely be looking out for part two.

[jasper.atpp]

Absolutely brilliant. Loved it.

Best mod of the year so far. Very very well done indeed

[Warby]

the screenshots are already looking pimp i especially like the lighting in the second one !

[Erratic]

Very cool, had a lot of fun with it.

[ultradr3mer]

the blue vol light is a bit misplaced, but away from that pretty nice.

[Furyo]

How come I didn't even know it is released....I'll have to check it out tonight

[Freak]

i finished it and i must say that it´s a lot of fun to play, but as mentioned, the 3d skybox could be better

I had the same problem

Insta man, this map is great, I had lots of fun with it. It's a great example of smart and entertaining level design. I loved the little surprises and the fact that they weren't as obvious as one would expect.The graphics also do their job quite well, however, I'd love to see some more custom content here and there.

I also found a bug btw. I'm not sure if it's a Source related bug or a wrong shader you are using for the water, anyways, pointing the flashlight to the water gets the reflections all screwed up:

I also felt that the cubemap placement could be better, specially in the dark indoor areas.

All in all this is a great accomplishment and I can't wait for the next releases. Congrats dude

(I also missed some of your wicked sense of humor, hoping to see more of that in the next releases )
