That was great.

I hope it inspires greater depth and perhaps a full game remake including weapons and models.

^ Took the words right out of my mouth.

I have no experience with HL mods; does anyone know how long something like this would take?

This mod blows my mind

You’ll play as Sgt. Jack Hardgrave, a renowned paleontologist who thought he put his career on hold to go to war…then Hitler resurrected dinosaurs and unleashed them on the Allies in 1942. When the Fuhrer’s monster army saw battle for the first time in North Africa Hardgrave was on the front lines – nearly getting eaten alive by beasts he spent his life studying.

Where were the panthers? Also, what was he getting out of the candlesticks? You never really saw.

I make custom maps for Counter-Strike: Source, which runs on the same SDK as HL2. Pretty much it depends on how detailed and how much custom stuff you want in it. Since I'm still learning I only use the given texures for the SDK, so If I want a simple map with little or no lighting features, it'll only take a week at the most... once I figure out my own errors and such. The more expansive ones and the high resolution ones which I'm sure this one qualifies as, can take as long as you want but on average it's about 3-4 months to complete with a group of people working on it. And with Triggers and function seen in the one, I'm sure it took that long.
