If you have attempted to play any mods in Half-Life 2 this is one you will have stumbled on. Minerva Metastasis was developed by a single person: Adam Foster
You play as a silent character (probably Gordon Freeman) who was dropped off at a remote island to investigate a strange beam of light and rumors of Combine forces. Little did he know, an entire separate underground citadel is churning below!
This mod is one of the most fantastic and professionally developed of almost all HL2 mods! The transition from diving down the citadel floor by floor and all of the creative combine areas make this mod absolutely complete! On top of that it runs with the free Source SDK Base 2013 Singleplayer package available in Steam. And, the mod is available in Steam as its own independent game. No need to install an EXE and find the folder to put ins Sourcemods directory. Minerva was the easiest to install.
Important!
When clicking "Play" you may have to wait a minute for the game to officially launch. I had issues where I thought it crashed when the Play button doesn't display "Cancel" or "Stop" but it actually is running.
Requires:
Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2 Episode One
Half-Life 2 Episode Two
