Socialist Tension (HL2 Custom Campaign)

Description
In this short (but hopefully sweet) campaign, taking place in an alternate HL2 timeline, you are a hitman (working for G-Man a random citizen) whose mission is to assassinate none other than the big bad himself, by the name of Dr. Wallace Breen, and then exfil out of City 17 ASAP.


WARNING: I am an amateur GModder, since I have only very basic knowledge of Hammer and no knowledge at all on how to use VSIF2VCD, which means that this campaign is by no means perfect and has flaws here and there. This would affect your overall experience with it, but it shouldn't stop you from completing it. Any feedback is appreciated.

WARNING #2: During a map transition between the second (rcsmap2) and third (rcsmap3) map, GMOD may CTD. If this happens, just manually load the latter map.

WARNING #3: On the final map, the gunship may tend to shoot through the boat, rendering it as the only cover useless and making the battle extremely difficult, if not impossible. I do not know what is causing this, maybe it could be the map's fault (since I have little experience with Hammer and I could not extract the .vmf files from the .bsp files without risking breaking them), or it could be its level transitions (since level transitions are sometimes unfriendly to GMOD), or one of my addons is causing this. If this issue happens, try (re)loading the fourth map manually, go all out with your SWEPs (that can destroy a gunship), or turn on God mode.

DISCLAIMER: This custom campaign has only been tested in sandbox singleplayer, with the only mods being tested with this map are MMOD effects, MMOD HL2 weapon replacements, MWB/TFA/TacRP SWEPs, Combine soldier model replacements, VManip addons, and HUD addons. I'm sorry to say this, but I cannot guarantee the campaign's stability if you use more complex addons (such as the ones that alter NPC's AI) and/or play it in multiplayer.

ANOTHER DISCLAIMER: This custom HL2 campaign is not mine, as I laid out its original information in the lower part of this description. If the original author wants me to take it down, I'll do so.


REQUIREMENTS:
Half-Life 2


This campaign consists of 4 maps, which are located in the "Other" category, and they go in order as shown below:
rcsmap1 (FIRST)
rcsmap2
rcsmap3
rcsmap4 (LAST)


ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN INFORMATION

Socialist Tension is a Single player Half-Life 2 mod, where you are in the role of a Contract killer, who was sent to City 17 for his next assignment. His client, one of the citizens of City 17 wants you to assassinate Dr. Breen and put an end to his domination. But he doesn't know that the "death" of Dr. Breen will lead to tragic consequences and thus your only hope is to get out of City 17 as soon as fast. Good luck.

The mod only adds some new maps, there aren't any weapon/NPC changes.

@TomTheFoolery Hello. Sometimes, I have the same issue when playing the last and fourth map, but sometimes it does not. I do not know what causes the gunship's bullet to pass through the boat to damage you, but it could be something to do with the level transition if you continue from the third map (since level transition is sometimes harmful to GMOD and my addons), or one of my/your addons is causing this. In other words, the only way to fix this issue, from what I believe, is to load the final map manually (instead of transitioning from the third map to the fourth map).

By the way, I forgot to put up a warning about this issue, since at the time I published this port of Socialist Tension, I had no idea on whether I am running to the issue or not.

In the last level, the gunship's bullets phase through the boat and make the fight incredibly difficult because the only source of cover is useless

Like I said before, speaking of regular and elite Combine soldiers during the assassination sequence, do not kill them until after you assassinate Dr. Breen.

@hijhlee Hello. When you get to the vantage point at the top floor of an apartment building, you'll have to wait until regular and elite Combine soldiers and Mossman come into view, and at that point, Breen comes into view for you to assassinate him. Do not kill anyone but Breen during that sequence, or it may break/lead to a game over.

Also, I haven't tested this campaign with any addons that alter NPCs behavior, which could also affect the assassination sequence. Make sure that you disable/unsubscribe from these types of addon, then start the campaign again.

I apologize for your inconvenience.

@MrQuental I am not the original creator of the map, and since I only have basic knowledge of Hammer, I don't think that I could edit the maps without risking breaking them.

and also add more crates or spots with ammo or secret spots with ammo so the adventures players feel more rewarded than punished for the lack of content to be found (this could also be lets say, info for the story being told to give different perspetives and so on, you get me, always have something interesting than just linear maps, and not saying they are bad but usually tends to bore most players and i speak for experience due to the lack of action or something going on.).

besides that, I really liked your campaign my dude, keep pumping them out, we need more stuff like this on gmod
