I’m a sucker for Half-Life 2 themed nonsense, and this one is a classic – a remake of the game which relies on the Quake Engine.
Made by Scampi for a Quake Jam Mapping contest, the video shows the game being played and features G-Man, Alyx, and someone posing as Gordon Freeman…
Not convinced? One YouTube commenter noted that:
This is like a weird half life universe where ancient medieval warrior aliens took over earth and starved most people and giving them some weird zombie like virus.
That’s a pretty accurate description, to be honest. But the big question is obviously “how do I play this?” Well, there’s a link in the video to a popular online Quake community, but nothing direct to the map or skins. Prepare yourself for a hunt…
