Overview
A mod spanning across the entire Half-Life universe. You take on the role of Jack, a rebel who along with his friend were assigned on a mission in City 17. The goal of this project was to give a different perspective on the war, as perceived through the eyes of a rebel, running in parallel with Gordon's progress along the main Half-Life story. The mod is planned to be spread into three episodes, touching on the events from all of the Half-Life 2 episodes.
"So far my goal is getting as many citizens out of the city and in to safety as possible. Yet we've been running into constant Combine reinforcements, Striders everywhere, and more zombies than I can count. Only two of us were assigned this mission and hopefully we can accomplish it. If we don't then we're all dead. Right now I'm in a lone room, Striders roaming outside and closing in but I'll make it out of here; just have to fight them off..." -jack
