    I tried it and couldn't get into it. It's a very well made mod, but not easy to pick up. Fortunately there are a whole host of great Source mods, more than enough for anyone to find at least one they love (Neotokyo, The Hidden, Zombie Master, Zombie Panic, etc) and that's just the multiplayer mods...

    (Zombie Master lover here - no game I've played matches ZM with a good group and devious ZM - it's had me working my off or almost p!ssing myself laughing, challenging yourself to only kill people using traps or only at certain points)

    I don't have HL2 to use it, but it looks very impressive.

    Pretty sure you can use these if you have any Source engine game loaded on Steam.

    I can tell this is heavily based on the Ghost in the Shell: SAC anime.

    Looks really cool.

    Played it when it first came out - was hoping for something new but nothing really keeps you coming back for more. It's a well-made game, but just seems like another counter-strike clone. round start, shoot some people, etc. Even Dystopia is better in that regard.

    It's a trend I noticed from the release of Source: everyone was expecting all these great mods like the HL1 engine had, but it hasn't happened. some have been alright, but nothing on par with what CS, TFC, DoD, NS, etc did for HL1

    I think the best I've seen for Source so far has to be Eternal Silence
