This is one of the best mods I have ever played for Half-life 2.

This mod, as I speak, has been played by about one million players. There is a possible chance that you have already heard of this mod; honestly, there's no point in making this review, you should already know that this mod is fantastic. It just goes to show how strong the Half-life and Source community is. A great example of an amazing Half-life mod is Half-Life Echoes, some people, like me, can't get enough of Half-life.

When I first played Transmission Element 120, somewhere around 2015 I think, I was blown away by it; to this day, I am still blown away by it. I still find stuff in this mod that I didn't know or see before. My favorite part of the mod is actually the final area, where you are tasked with taking down striders because it's so action-packed and so much chaos is happening.

Pros:
Alright, let's cut the sh*t, we all know why we are here and why this mod got so popular. One of the leading factors for why this mod is amazing and different from other mods is because of the new weapon, the Gravity Concussion Gun.
The Gravity Concussion Gun is extremely fun to use and it's pretty much the only weapon I use throughout the whole mod. I just can't get enough of it, I could use it forever, and forever, and forever, and forever, and fore… wait, what was I doing? Oh yeah, For me, personally, I love that there is a new weapon because I want new Half-life weapons. Whenever there is a new weapon or a rework in a Half-life mod, whether it's amazing or not, it always makes me happy and gives me a boner.. umm I mean it gives me a different and new experience. I also, personally, think that it's the best fan-made weapon in a Half-life mod that I have ever played with because of how fun it is to use.
The Gravity Concussion Gun is completely different than the Gravity Gun, for example, it shoots energy balls, can’t pick up stuff, and it’s red instead of being orange. This weapon made the mod stand out and more memorable because of how unique and different it was than other mods. Because of the Gravity Concussion Gun, it created new gameplay mechanics and epic moments for the player.
It sometimes feels like your not just playing a Half-Life mod, but it feels like something that Valve made. Even the main developer thought the same way about his mod. This mod is so f*cking awesome that Gearbox wanted to do a job interview with the main developer; I don’t know if the developer did anything with them or not.
From my digging, research, and speculation, people seem to have the most amount of fun with the Gravity Concussion Gun than any other part of the game; not that everything else in the mod sucks, it just seems to be people’s most favorite part about the mod.

The detail in this mod is astounding to me: just looking at all of the stuff that the developer put around his game is interesting for me for some reason. I think the reason why I keep observing the environment around me is because I want more of it, but I'll come back to that issue later. I love looking at the lighting, the props, the arena and everything else in this mod because I want more, as I said before. Sometimes, I like messing around with the environment by throwing stuff all over the place and just f*cking around.

The level of playtesting is very strong in this mod because every time I try to break the game, I can't do it. I don't know why I'm like this, but I love breaking people's games and I do it all of the time in mods and games. A great example was me breaking Year Long Alarm, seriously I did right as I started gaming it. But, in this mod I can't do it, the developer has thought up of pretty much everything. I tried taking a turret with me, but, I couldn't do it, I tried getting to an area without the Gravity Concussion Gun but I couldn't do it. The developer who made this mod did an outstanding job.

The level design is incredible beyond belief, it was made just for the Gravity Concussion Gun.
Like I said earlier before, my favorite area in the mod is the strider section because it's so absolutely crazy. I have never been screaming in fear in Half-life for a long time. I was on a roof and fell into an alleyway, the Gravity Concussion Gun saved my life though, however, several Combine soldiers were storming my position and a strider was blowing up a building next to me trying to get to me; I was f*cking panicking.

Now let's get to the problems I have this mod; I think everyone would agree on them.

Cons:
The most common complaint with this mod is that it is too damn short because people want more.
I especially want more from this mod because there's a lot of potential for a game with just the Gravity Concussion Gun, but it just ends. I know that deep down in my heart that it is enough to have fun and overwhelming experience. But, everyone else, including myself, wishes there was more.
The framerate in this mod can kill your PC a little bit, but honestly, I had too much fun to notice it. It's just a small complaint from me.

In conclusion, is Transmission: Element 120 worth playing?
I would say, "What the f*ck are you still doing, play it alrighty!! You f*cking dumb sh*t play it!!".......... Sorry, I need to calm down.
I don't know who or why somebody could hate this mod, it is truly a mod of astoundment. Well, actually, my brother back then said he didn't like the mod, I don't know why though.

I would give this mod a 10/10 and next time I have the chance to have sexual intercourse, I'll deny it and just play Transmission: Mission 120 instead.
