Is that even a German word?), you can see the transportation system used for the dinosaurs. On the train that you blew up (Coincidently called the Dinosauriergruppe Train. It’s a thing of beauty that they even thought about the fact these Dinosaurs need moving. Moving through the wreckage of the train, you can see what the evil Nazis are up to. Sound familiar? It’s only the most obvious boss battle in the world. Triceratops is difficult to kill with bullets, but there are explosive barrels everywhere, and it charges at you. The combat feels a bit dull and weak (Though with nice and accurate models of WW2 weaponry), but the dinosaurs are obvious boss battles. It doesn’t take long before you finally meet the first Dinostar: Triceratops.Īnd here is where you meet the second problem. This is only a demo mind, so it isn’t as big as the final product will supposedly be. They don’t seem to care properly about trying to stay alive, just that they want to make sure you don’t. However, the dinosaurs are slightly more interesting.
The AI works the same way as the Combine in HL, and thus gets the joy of playing with their lack of full intelligence. Replace Nazis with the Combine, and you’ll understand it wasn’t hard work.
The mod is in Half Life, and so it seems that all they’ve done is replaced the skins and weapons. Oh no! What ever shall we do!? Well, seeing as this is an FPS mod, it involves shooting people. Walking down, you can see the train wreck, and the outcome of Hitler’s weapon. As it continues, the joys of the Half Life Source engine are made apparent. Anyway, this mod starts off with you by the train that you just destroyed (I think).
There’s a brilliant way to show your intentions: Show a picture of Hitler. Listening to the cheesy American march, you can’t help but think this takes the mic. It is silly and over the top, and the music shows it. That isn’t just me being pretentious and cynical. And you might think that I made this mod sound silly and over the top. Yeah, you might think that I’m messing with you, but this is a mod so it’s almost guaranteed to be real. Yeah, you think that once the Americans joined the war everything was fine and dandy? Well, Hitler had another trick up his sleeves: Our good old fossil friends, the dinosaurs. No, this is an accurate historic representation of what actually happened in the second world war. If that were the case, it might just be Trespasser and nobody wants that. Sadly, this isn’t a game just about dinosaurs. Although the prototype is the only thing that’s been released, I thought it was worth a look. Thus, a Half Life Mod called Dino D-Day is bound to attract my attention. Seeing as my current state of maturity makes me the equivalent of 4 year old, there are 2 things that will guarantee my attention for a long period of time.
