OK so here goes a few of them

In fact that's a bit disappointing, cause the missions are very short.

a nice ambience here... I know that for sure, I live in the bocage of Vendée, and it's really resembling - well, apart the wreckage of course
but on our grandfather's photos some places sure look like this

The models are well detailed


...but unfortunately the guy who did them must not have paid much attention to the bones of the model...

it makes them take very strange poses sometimes... I believe it's just a bad placement of the model points... they've not been attributed to the right bone.

The vegetation looks very convincing

it's not like these green walls they call bushes you can see in MOHAA or other WW2 games

And the towns are well rendered too

here it's a metro entrance. The decoration is identical even nowadays... although the town architecture resembles more Nantes than Paris. But it's nevertheless very realistic.

On the other hand, it's a pity they didn't improve the Half-Life grunt AI... you end up with the impression to fight against known enemies. You can even take advantage of its bugs... too bad. The enemy voices are not many either, and they become repetitive quickly.

And most frustrating, the missions are damn short.
One of them is not very credible in places (North Africa), but the others are good.

Overall a good mod. Good quality. But short.
