Gordon Freeman assaults Nova Prospekt, a Combine high security prison, from the beach to rescue Eli Vance, with the help of some loyal and deadly Antlions.
Half-Life 2 is still the king of pacing and badass setpieces. This raid on Nova Prospekt at the end of Sandtraps is probably one of my favorites, just because Gordon is finally taking the fight to the Combine, rather than running away from them. The Antlions are actually quite useful, and I tried to let them do most of the fighting.
The gameplay is actually from a mod for HL2 called Half-Life 2: Update. Developed by Filip Victor, the mod offers subtle but appreciated lighting improvements and bug fixes.
The score is by Kelly Bailey. In order of appearance, the songs are:
- Apprehension and Evasion
- Highway 17
