This modification is dedicated to the "evacuation" of the protagonist, who is not particularly remarkable - whose goal is to escape to a safe zone, while fighting off the forces of the Combine.
The demo was cool and so on, but I have thing to tell what I didn't like... the headbobbing, its nauseating and also made my head kinda hurt. The this only thing which in my honest opinion needs to be changed.
Excellent mod! Thank you so much! Great maps, great fight sequences. My only issue is that the shooting is a little wonky; when hip firing or ADS-ing, the bullets go all over the place, and I take more damage than I give out. And not enough ammo for the M1 Garand. Otherwise, I loved it. Thank you again for a great Half-Life 2 experience.
Evacuation is a short wonderful mod. We play in a beautiful forest, the level-design reminds me Left 4 Dead, in a positive way.
If you like the forest parts of Half-life 2: Episode Two, you’re going to like this mod.
I finished it in 93min.
good mod
This is a review of the full version of Evacuation, available through Steam, not the demo found here on moddb.
Evacuation is a wonderful jog through the woods in the world of Half-life 2.
Story:
It's pretty basic and simple, but it is serviceable enough to get you from place to place. I'm not going to spend too much time talking about it.
Gameplay:
The new guns were pretty fun to use, even if I felt that they could use more of a punch. I quite enjoyed the scenarios presented, they felt refreshing, the dev team did not recycle any ideas from Half-life 2. This game is very enjoyable to play and I imagine it can only get better with some tweaking to weapon damage.
Art Style:
The environments in this mod are wonderful, it has so many neat little touches in its level design, so many pieces of environmental storytelling and visual clues, that reminded me of something Valve would have created.
Couple small issues I encountered: there were some FPS drops here and there, maybe Evacuation could use a little bit of optimizing; there was one point early on, where a certain enemy was holding a gate closed so that I could not get through, I killed all of his teammates, and he kind of just... stood there and watched? Holding the lever? And then I killed him too, it was a bit of a weird moment, I figure he should probably let go of the gate and try to fight me after his buddies are gone.
The gameplay and art style are clearly the main attraction when it comes to Evacuation and they kept me coming back for more, there is nothing quite like this mod out there, and I think every Half-life 2 fan should give it a try.
Another short but sweet mod to start off the new year with MMod'esque gameplay, unique mechanics/puzzles, well-made forest mapping, custom soundtrack and a decent storyline to go along with it. Nice one!
Cool mod) A good plot, and the action takes place only in the forest, which is hardly often found among mods on HL2, as for me, this is a virtue, especially since it is beautifully done) A pretty good soundtrack, new weapons, as well as chips and puzzles, very reminiscent of mods such as Snowdrop Escape and Swelter - which is also good, in my opinion) The only drawback, it seems to me - and not only to me, judging by the reviews of others - the mod is quite short, you could have done more. Overall, the impression is good, I recommend it to all HL fans and not only) I wish the developers further success and look forward to their new creations)
Evacuate the gnome!
great mod
