It should say in the article that this isn’t a beta. Hell, i wouldnt even call it alpha yet.
In other words, obviously the game is not finished by far. I’m having a lot of fun at playing ahl2, but i can understand people feeling differently, just wait on the next release and give it another try, because there’s lots of new stuff coming up. Right now it’s pretty much a port from ahl1 (the weapons etc. are).

The maps are (almost) all HL2DM (so is stalkyard, which is not a map from the Hidden).

waffles – ‘cept, it really isn’t, we’ve had endless issues with the guy who made the stalker gmod gametype nicking our content without asking permission.

I tried AHL2 for a bit with some friends a few days back, good and simple fun. There were only like four of us and we didn’t have really good maps but it was still fun for an hour or so.

Finally got it working the other night, for awhile it was ok. Speed was nice, diving around was a bit of a laugh, but otherwise it felt quite “meh” to me. Certainly nothing like the epicness I was expecting after reading about the first AHL, but it is still quite new I suppose. Random weapons should be the only option in my opinion though, it does get silly when Handcannon spam occurs in a map with lots of tight corridors and corners.

the hidden-source is also a gmod game mode too.
Also i think map usage has more to do with what the server puts up.
Also this is worth a go, as AHL was (is?) awesome.
edit-wow, its just a 56mb file.

AHL was always incredibly limp to me. I’m hoping this improves on how weak and totally unthrilling AHL was.

Always preferred the Opera since it had a single distinct, and unified aesthetic, instead of Desperado meets Die Hard meets the Matrix.

For those commenting on the use of an HS map, it’s all good – Boxy released a deathmatch version of Stalkyard a while ago, which is (hopefully) the version that appears in the vid.

Admittedly, his version is just a remake of the original HL map – so it’s all a bit ambiguous.

This was fun for about 5 minutes. The intro was amusing, the Wilhelm when people die made me chortle, and blasting suckers with the sawed-off was satisfying. The fact that it felt uncontrollable and that the map I tried was WAY too full of people to survive for more than about 8 seconds, not so much.

Tom is right, Hidden-source is the one of the best mods out there, wonder if it will ever exit beta?

This all makes me want to see that original video posted.

And at Lu-Tze – I also have extremely fond memories. I don’t know if this new version would quite hold up in comparison.
