WOW! What an unexpected gem. I've been working through Skummeh's spreadsheet of maps and pickings were getting slim. Then i ran across this masterpiece. Well done!

Indy, did you pull the antennas up and turn the dial on each bomb? They will blowup when you do those 2 things.
indyjones1023 16 Jul, 2023 @ 12:27pm 
New question, I think I am at the end. I place the bomb on each side of the building. Now what? Nothing is happening and I don't know how to trigger the bombs.

I just killed the strider with the EMP, climbed the ladder, but where's the yellow key card?

The ending in LC11 is epic. I replayed it a few times for fun! The whole series is excellent if a bit buggy. Great job.

chrisraven4321, after feeding the larva, the cabinet with resin should open, and not the key card appear.
I join the positive reviews - a very complex addon, a lot of work has been done. On my ultra settings, in some scenes, the image slows down a little, probably due to the large number of polygons, but this is a trifle. Good luck to the author in new projects!:steamhappy:

I am playing this one and at 52:10 after I feed the grub, there is supposed to be resin, yellow key card, and the medical grub on the counter, but nothing shows up there. I have played it twice and got the same results. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Thanks

hey glockstr thank you!! we are working on a full blown vr exclusive right now.

Another HIT for Wim Buytaert!!! Great fun, I had a good time playing. You've got the talent and I hope to see anything you might do that I haven't seen or played yet. Needless to say the Rapture series was and is a HLA Mod Classic, in my opinion and apparently in many others as well... Good Luck and please keep them coming if you should be leaning that way...!

:steamthumbsup: :steamthumbsup: This is my 2nd ever both thumbs up for any Alyx mod. I'm probably 2/3rds of the way through the list. I'm playing the 4-5 star rated mods first. I really enjoyed your collateral damage and human toll story-telling of a combine take-over. Story is really important, and it's told by giving the viewer a scene by scene unveiling of the story. This one was very well crafted, and while it's dark and gritty it's like a director bringing you to the next part of the movie. So, the immersion quality was there because I was invested in understanding this world.

For me, the ending felt tacked on and disconnected from the rest of the story.

However, the ammo amounts and fights were balanced.

Would be nice to add a phone app to the headset so you can answer the phone using it.

My playthrough for this one - https://youtu.be/cQZ-BdLUS-4

Hea overall nice mod, the level design is done really well. Alhhough having the flashlight on and lit areas has unnecessary impact on gpu.

Som critics I have for you:
- the combat music is way too loud it was almost unplayable at the volume I normally play (reverb g2)
- some areas have no Ambient sound so it goes from very loud until you kill the last soldier to no ambient sound at all (except foot steps etc. Of course)
- the soldiers are sometimes dumb and are like sleeping, you open the door and they just stay there 3m in front of you not realizing the door was opened, they start shooting when you starts hooti g or they just stay there and wait for you even if they see you (not always but happened a few times)

for example in the house in level 2 you kill the soldiers and suddenly there is another soldier next room, like he is deaf and didn't hear all that shooting next door :) hope it's clear what I mean, its a bit immersive breaking.

Hi Wim, was playing the amazingly difficult LOST9 map.. died and loaded from a save game.. and it had the same problem of AI DEACTIVATED, just like in BIOSHOCK L5. Is this documented? I don't think there is any humanly feasible way to survive that level with no saves.. (hahaha). Just letting you know.. in case.. OH GET IT! IN CASE! IN "LOST CASE"! hahaha. Thanks for all your amazing creativity.
deeman 27 Mar, 2022 @ 10:07am 
Fantastic, real great mod, a hour of full fun, thanx !
stevebfx 25 Feb, 2022 @ 9:07pm 
Hi Wim.. yup.. started level 3 as a new game.. and I just LOVED the little message on the clipboard you left.. regarding the level 2 to 3 issue! That was AWESOME! BUT MAN... holy moly... what a SPECTACULAR level so far! That's excellent that you have your own company. My wife and I also have our own company.. A LOT OF WORK.. A LOT OF HEARTACHE and STRESS but A LOT OF REWARDS TOO! Nothing like it. Congrats!

stevebfx 25 Feb, 2022 @ 1:43am 
Thanks, Wim.. will start lvl 3 as a new game. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW BIOSHOCK CAMPAIGN! You are a MONSTER designer! Surprised VALVE hasn't made you an offer yet!
wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 23 Feb, 2022 @ 2:18pm 
he steve sorry man at that point i did not now what i ddi wrong. you can fix this buy starting level 3 as new game. thanks you for kind words!! new bioshock campaign 24 maps wil be out soon
stevebfx 23 Feb, 2022 @ 2:41am 
Wim... first off.. positively AMAZING work here, my friend. I work in Visual Effects so I know the difficulty in just PLANNING the amazing levels you design. BIOSHOCK was just as fulfilling as the main Alyx game itself! And now this... (have to admit.. I had no idea you were the same guy that did Bioshock! Amazing!). I just finished up level 2 (Lost Case), put the yellow keycard in, opened the door and proceeded to level 3.. only to NOT HAVE ANY ARMS! And this is where you give us the Combine blaster pistol and tons of resin. I thought it might have been some issue at my end, so I re-loaded the game at level 2 and re-did the yellow keycard.. opened the door.. level 3 loads.. and NO ARMS! Is there something I can do to correct this? Thanks in advance... Steve

damn james thanks again my man !! more fun coming soon21 new levels from bioshock coming this year
James Lee GTE 20 Aug, 2021 @ 2:07am 
Without question my absolute favourite campaign on the workshop. I can't put into words how amazing and spectacular this campaign is. This is an absolute must play! Eleven levels that all require different strategies and gameplay and are all both tense and beautiful. I can't imagine how many hours went into creating this masterpiece. Donation sent !

wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 27 Jul, 2021 @ 9:11am

Killzone 26 Jul, 2021 @ 9:43pm 
simply amazing. gave me a run for my money on hard. took me at least 3 hours. This was such a badass experience.
Skummeh 28 Apr, 2021 @ 12:37pm 
Updated video and review. There is a lot to enjoy but also a lot of bugs and polish issues to overcome that do affect the fun factor. Your later work is better, but this is still very enjoyable to play through thanks especially to the narrative/story elements: https://youtu.be/CK7RUTS5QLQ
wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 9 Apr, 2021 @ 11:49pm 
thank you dalon222!! the next part from rapture wil be so big xd
dalon222 9 Apr, 2021 @ 4:45pm 
Once again, Wim, thanks for the awesome levels, I loved your Bioshock RtR, the 1st 7 levels of the lost case were incredible, I think these have been as fun, if not better the HL:A!
Thanks again, keep on creating, I'll keep on playing and contributing $$$!
wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 14 Feb, 2021 @ 1:39pm

Preecy 14 Feb, 2021 @ 12:53pm 
What order do i play these maps in and are they separate to the bio-hazard levels. I don't understand the intended play order?
BastiK1979 13 Feb, 2021 @ 10:27pm 
Very good made, atmospheric maps. They contain a lot of individuality and effort.
yoanperez 6 Feb, 2021 @ 1:16pm 
Excellent Map, I really enjoyed it :-)
Silverpoes 29 Jan, 2021 @ 5:17am 
Hey wim.buytaert.1988 Thanks for the tip, i will look around for a solution. The mod has been awsome so far, great job man.
wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 28 Jan, 2021 @ 8:53am 
chestfest this is related to the main game not mods go look fr tutorial takes 2 min to fix it i had it to 1 once in 2800 hours
Silverpoes 28 Jan, 2021 @ 8:32am 
BigRed i have the same problem, i get to the part with the tree house and the strider, but all the enemies are just standing still. I saved, but the game hangs when trying to load.
Frostbite 26 Dec, 2020 @ 3:16pm 
Ooo that sounds interesting, can't wait for that
wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 26 Dec, 2020 @ 2:59pm 
thanks frostbite right know working on bioshock campaign.
Frostbite 26 Dec, 2020 @ 2:51pm 
Be waiting to see that commander dead since I got to the end of the first one.
10/10 on this little campaign. Was very satisfying at the end with that mini battle to get the commander. Every fight was well made with enough cover to hop to and take out the combine. My only gripe I see with this map is the amount of Resin and ammo given out. The ammo not so much but the Resin yeah, the resin is given out like candy. I'm not saying its bad but I feel there is just much.
Great work on this campaign and I hoping for a part 2 of this. To see what the Gman has to offer.
wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 9 Dec, 2020 @ 9:42am 
thanbk you pent vaer !! yes strider bug is not fixable somting with chekpoints
Pent Vaer 9 Dec, 2020 @ 8:13am 
Played all the way through the Lost Case (excepting the 'hide and seek' levels without weapons, not a fan of those). First levels were good, especially the swimming pool, but these last 4, set in streets, houses and gardens were just superb, loved it.

The difficulty level especially (on hard) was perfect i.e. difficult.

Great work Wim, thanks for the hours of entertainment.

Bug report: after the strider got me first time, I never saw him again (but could hear him walking around).
wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 6 Dec, 2020 @ 12:48pm 
yes yes 2540 hours
Kolkwitzia 6 Dec, 2020 @ 11:03am 
I've played through all the levels now (1-11) and overall it was super fun! Many hours of entertainment, thank you c: it must have taken quite a while to make all of it
wim.buytaert.1988  [author] 30 Nov, 2020 @ 1:03pm

I made a donation because it's fun to play like a real game. You can see the meticulous work.
Don't hesitate to participate for this work to get more.
Travelller 25 Nov, 2020 @ 6:23pm 
So I loaded the last autosave which was luckily just before the search for the first item and was able to "connect" it. Perhaps the order is important (green cell prior to the other two)... :-/

Only one other unfortunate glitch - the Strider was not correctly rendered...
SPOLIER - do not click on link until you've completed level 9!

Travelller 25 Nov, 2020 @ 2:31pm 
I tried that - so there must be a bug. I'll try to rerun the entire level & see what happens...

SPOILER ALERT - Do Not click on link!
8 was sweet, but more on that once i finish the set :steamhappy:
I'm stuck in 9 - I have all necessary components but cannot connect the green power cell to the "Server" right in front of the tree house. The other two are already "connected" - as seen in the linked screenshot
Thanks in advance for any suggestions :steamhappy:
