Cry of Fear engine branch

This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality because:
The connection between the Paranoia and COF's branches has made it challenging to identify changes specific to COF in the GoldSrc engine that are not derived from Paranoia. If there's anything I missed, please DO add them! :)
For help, see the VDC Editing Help and Wikipedia cleanup process. Also, remember to check for any notes left by the tagger at this article's talk page.

Cry of Fear engine branch is a modified, third-party branch of the GoldSrc Engine based on its pre-SteamPipe version, specifically the Paranoia HLSDK fork^[1] and using some Spirit of Half-Life code.

Cry of Fear engine branch is based on Paranoia's engine branch. Therefore, much of the documentation on this wiki pertaining to Paranoia may also apply to Cry of Fear engine branch.
