Glacial Assault (HL2 Custom Campaign)

Description
Escape what used to be a rebel base underneath a frozen hell, now overrun by headcrabs, zombies, and the so-called Combine.


WARNING: I am an amateur, casual GModder, since I have only very basic to no 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.

NOTE: This campaign originally came with custom textures for Combine soldiers and the Hunter-Chopper, which has been stripped away to allow for custom retextures/models for these NPCs to be used with this campaign. For the best experience, I recommend using any Arctic reskins of Combine soldiers, such as this one.

NOTE #2: You may not be given any weapons when you start the map, unless you have the mod that gives you your loadout. Otherwise, spawn yourself some weapons, and then continue.

WARNING #2: The final battle, on the third map (glacial_assault_03) can be hard, as it throws a lot of Combine soldiers and a few Hunters at you. As such, you may go all out with your SWEPs or cheese the fight by placing mines, explosive barrels, and a turret (with a gravity gun you find inside the shed) along the Combine's two passageways before interacting with the radio inside the shed to start the fight.

DISCLAIMER: This custom campaign has only been tested in sandbox singleplayer, with the only mods being tested with this map are explosion replacer, MMOD HL2 weapon replacements, ARC9/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 some old SWEPs, along with playing it in multiplayer.

DISCLAIMER #2: 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
Half-Life 2: Episode 1?
Half-Life 2: Episode 2


This campaign consists of 3 maps in the "Other" category, and they go in order as shown below:
glacial_assault_01 (FIRST)
glacial_assault_02
glacial_assault_03 (LAST)



ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN INFORMATION

After playing Half-Life games for the last 14 years I've finally decided to make something and release it. Glacial Assault is a short three part map that I slowly made over a year.

While I did put a lot of effort into this, don't expect anything ground breaking or original.

@jues_did_uss_liberty You're welcome. I always know that this campaign is not mine, I just wanted to make it more visible to GMOD.

@Spooky_Vanilla Oh, I understand now.

Yep, that has always been a common criticism about the Gmod's community. They don't appreciate Half-Life nor care about it in general. If someone uploads a cool campaign, they would often get kids being annoying in comments and demanding a sandbox version of the maps and say really awful things.

Just children being children I guess.

Heck, even you jangwmpt7 seem to not have any interest about author's artistic visions and integrity, as you always remove custom models and custom textures from these campaigns because you don't care about them by saying things like "has been stripped away to allow for-". Aka: "I don't give a shit about Wibble's artistic vision and I just want children to play with their own NPC addons".

@Wibble Oh.

For the record.

I and most Half-Life mappers don't put their stuff on Gmod because Gmod has a different type of crowd (mostly children). There is a reason why people from RTSL, TWHL and GameBanana don't put their stuff on here. Gmod attracts players who don't have much of interest in Half-Life or its core gameplay, nor any understanding or appreciation of it how it works. The only stuff that tends to be uploaded here is stuff that is explicitly meant for Garry's Mod, most of the stuff on the Gmod workshop nowadays is actually payed commissions.

Mappers don't have much of an interesting in putting weeks/months of effort into a linear Half-Life map so that a 13 year old can blow through it in Gmod in the worst way imaginable while running 200 different addons.

I’m sorry about how the layout of the description feels to both of you. It’s just that I am inspired by the descriptions of campaign ports in the GMOD workshop, particularly those from LazarusOregon. And no, I don’t use AI to write. Speaking of the “ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN INFORMATION”, I based that information on what I find in the original link of the mod (GameBanana), including what appeared to be a description and the original author. It’s not like I changed the description.
Anyways, sorry for the misunderstanding. It’s just that I just wanted this custom campaign mod to gain visibility among GMOD players, especially those who plays campaign maps and could not find the one to play.
