Awesome stuff, great level design in terms of visuals, atmosphere, and item placement.

It really was a treat to play this one. And the new music track was really cool.

One thing that bothered me was the sense of direction was often absent, I didn't really know where to go at all times,

which turned into a wander-fest until I found something had changed. Maybe some objective in the text that had a

corresponding sign on the wall or unique object near that area would help a lot. Sort of the same happened when I got

underground and the combine were attacking... their waves were so sparse I was just wandering around thinking I was

supposed to find something. It has been brought up about the text being a bad presentation method, I agree half way.

Maybe if there was a voiceover to go along with it... because I don't always want to read when pretty things are in front of me :)

Great work though, can't wait for more.

Thrik: What makes you think the player is (kind of) a Combine soldier? I know the messages refer to you as a human and a traitor, but a traitor to what exactly? :)

I think Adam said he wanted to add voice-over, but he didn't have the resources to do so. I bet lots of people are going to offer themselves over, now that the first map is released.

My perception was that you are playing a human intended to become a stalker, and most likely a Combine soldier later down the road. I recall "you would have become one of them" also being in there somewhere, which makes me assume that you were a citizen possibly voluntarily on the road to combine..ness.

My perception, anyway! ;
