HOLY SHIT MINERVA: METASTASIS PART 3 COMING IN MERE DAYS

Makes me wish I played Halflife also. I've probably got one game too many right now, though, so I'll just have to wait for Bridge CE to experience the same level of epic.

I'm really really glad I played it.

Seriously, in an alternate universe, where I had been born into Half Life instead of Halo, that would be the map I was trying to make.
I mean, I'm trying to make Minerva, but for Halo.
That is- pretty much a single guy working alone, although I do have some help, on a mod that just focuses on adding new story and locations to the parent game, without messing with the weapons or enemies or gameplay, and aiming to just make it EPIC.
And yes, Minerva was EPIC.

Since I can't find any decent competition for Halo CE, I'm adopting Minerva as my competition- that's my bar, that's how good my map needs to be. Needless to say I've got my work cut out for me, and I'm feeling very meek and insecure and untalented, but that won't help me none, so I'ma get back to work after I say one thing:

That mod was brilliant, and very inspirational.

I did find it kind of odd that the Half Life 2 gimmicks (gravity gun crowbar and scent sac thing) never made an appearance anywhere, but the game actually felt more solid without them.

the grav gun wouldn't make much sense story wise (assuming there's only the one in existence) but I never really liked the bug bait to begin with :|

what? i need episode one to play this? :<

D:!!

I played Minerva where your on an island and like that was awesome felt like a single player game in it's self. If i download the metastasis_patched now do i get the next 2 episodes or what? I didn't even know there was a PART 2. Unless i've played it without knowing... :eek:

:mad::( Just installed the new patch, nothing new for me :(:mad:
I must have the same version.
Can't say when i played it, it wasn't good, because it was awesome! 4 Chapters of lengthy goodness...but yea i don't see anything new yet...
