Me encantó. El diseño de niveles, las nuevas animaciones, los scripts, los subtitulos (Que es la primera vez que veo en un juego de GoldSrc) y cositas como que intentaron hacer efectos del repiqueteo de gotas en el piso con la lluvia, junto con unas skyboxes muy bonitas y que se movían a veces!! que puede parecer una boludez pero me gustó mucho. En sí el gameplay creo que funciona hasta la última parte, donde las animaciones lentas de muchas armas te dejan en desventaja y se siente mal con tanta oleada de monstruos, pero fuera de eso es completamente disfrutable y bueno
Delta Particles at once plays like a survival horror game and a traditional Half-Life shooter, and it excels at both. I was not sure what to expect when I started this mod but it completely took me off guard by being so good. Excellent game design, excellent environment design, everything about this game was so impressive. I really don't have any complaints.
Despite not hearing much about this, this was perhaps the first mod I was tempted to put as on par in quality with its base game. Unfortunately its fatal flaw reared its ugly head near the end, that being taking a mod with intentionally slower gameplay, down to the weapon switch animations, and giving it a group enemy encounter every 5 seconds. I pull out my glock like a geriatric but these enemies think I'm Gordon.
Has pretty fun combat encounters aided by the level design, like getting ambushed while you're on a ladder in a vent returning to a door you just activated the switch for. On the other hand the visual design of the facility isn't very scientific, just a lot of hallways, offices, trainyards and storage areas instead of coming across any other huge experiments and technology. The mod is near the length of the original half-life, definitely a bonus when it stays at a consistent quality. It uses a lot of alien controllers though, even starting from early on, though they're not that bad to deal with since for high power hitscan weapons you've got a magnum, desert eagle, and sniper rifle.
