as of right now is it absolutely broken in every conceivable way. Until the author fix it . Stay away.

The strider boss fight at the end is impossible on Hard cause there is script for the strider to hit the player with it pulse cannon at 100% accuracy no matter where they are, even with solid object cover . I could still see the tracing beam of it tracking me behind concrete. Unlike in Valve game, the pulse cannon never track moving player, this one does. One hard it one hit kill even with max armour. This mod must be play test with easy in mind.

Tounge in cheek funny mod . The enemy placement could be better . The voice acting is a hit & miss. Also Furry picture warning.

Unlike most of Half-Life half-assed mod. THis mod has about a quarter of the effort and care compare to those. It truly live off it name thanks to it Quarter-assed effort.
-Bland and boring level design.
-You supposed to be one of the HECU marine attack the facility yet you still use the HEV models for hands and UI. Oddly enough the knife has a custom skin like it Counter-strike
-Nonsensical level design . Door phasing in and out of floor.
- Plenty of bugged scripted sequences that will softlock your game.
- If the one of the blast door try to shut you in, you better stay in there and don't walk back otherwise you will get locked out.
-The turret sequences is ********. WHy give control of the turret if you can't destroy enemy vehicle ? The poorly placed ladder and tank hatch make it impossible to escape.
- the Barney tried to execute you sequences is also bugged because of bad pathing. It worked the first time but I died to the impossible tank escape so no choice but to reload and cheat my way out. I could straight up tell you the mapper don't even play test this mod. He even sorry about the bugs mean he know the bugs exist but it still there because he just don't care enough.
- THere is no challenge. The security guard barely put up a fight. Best you could fight is the shark but that could be easily bypass by pressing a button.
-Why give crossbow ammo when there is no crowbow ?
-If you backtrack , it will give you restricted texture on previous map.
FINAL RECOMMENDATION : QUARTER-ASSED : 0.25 /10 .AVoid like the plague

Whether unintentional or not this mod is infected by Trojan Malware. Until the author upload a clean file, which by now is very unlikely. I would not recommend anyone to download this mod

Well done retexture. Good combat scenario. Voice acting is terrible thou cause the modder themself seem to voice it.Add to that the radio static effect don't make anything easier on your ears either. So I really don't understand what they were talking and my English damn good.
The last fight at the train yard you could just skip it altogether by going up the warehouse 2th floor and watch the whole thing commenced by the window. Seeing a 5 way free for all fight from all the races,faction is awesome to watch. This should happen more often.

THere is so many thing wrong with this mod. It pure garbage.Hand down the worst FEAR mod I ever played. It learned nothing about the game level design.
-THe author didn't bother tell us how to install the mod specifically.You supposed to edit the Default.Archcfg files and add Masada.Arch00 line in. But there is a problem.Where do you put the line ? Took me some fiddling around but I know that you supposed to put in under FEAR.Arch00. Anywhere else and the mod won't work.
-The beginning helicopter sequences you could rotate your mouse and reveal your headless body.
-When the heli drop (literally) you instead of using the cool rappelling animation from the game turn around and it disappear.There is 2 delta force solder on the heli but they won't drop with you so why bother ?
-The skybox is so odd, You are at night yet the mountain afar are well lit and fully 3d
-You are dropped directly into enemy fires with zero cover.Enemy holding corridor have the high ground and shoot at you .
- Architecture make no sense. Why does a military base have narrow ramp corridor right next to landing pad ?
-There is a usable minigun at the helipad but there is no ******* cover so you just asking to be shot at .
-Instead of the arena level design like original FEAR this mod is a corridor shooter. This don't work with the AI and the mechanics of the games as there is barely any flanking route.
-WHo the **** put a REV6 boss fight that shoot explosive missles next to a ladder in a tight corridor ?
-Overuse of cutscene that serve little purpose.
-The sequence where Fettel knock you out take control away from the player. in the original games you still have some control over your character.
-In the main game you are almost always the one initiate combat.This game is the other way around. It even have the tendency to spawn enemy behind you. THou it did try to warn you with cutscene that take control away from the player but that goes at odd with the design philosophy of the original games.
- There is some enemy spawn trigger that you can abuse to give yourself an advantage so you don't have to fight them all at once. Some replica supposed to spawn in after the melt down but if you like exploring like me. you accidentally walk behind a trigger and the game spawn enemy behind you.
-Prone to crash with no error warning.It locations specific. One just in the tunnel, behind the office with the shotgun. AFter it play the cutscene it will crash.
After crash it after you fought the Asssasin after the meltdown. THis literally prevent me from finish the mod.

The voice acting is off but level design great. Cool set pieces
