Here is a little bit more info about the mod
HalfLife = Shortlife is a Halflife1 mod. In The mod you play as Dr. Breen, the administrator from Black Masa. Remember? Good. Anyway, you play as Dr. Breen and have to escape Black Masa! Who can you trust, well, maybe 2 or 3 barneys but what do they know?! Your Freinds are splatterd against walls and ceilings! What the hell is going on?! Find out when you Play Halflife = Shortlife!
short-life is a mod created for Half-life 1, where the player plays as DR. Breen, Gordon's administrator. To understand who Dr. Breen is, play Half-life 2, then play this mod. Short-life will be released in chapters, around once a month each. Each chapter is 4 levels each, so expect to
complete each chapter quicky, but once all the chapters are released, we will release a full mod, with all the chapters in one. The first chapter is set moments before Gordon pushes his test subject into the beam, and you have just entered the storage level, 30 floors underground...
We here at Shortlife.com really don't want to tell you the whole story at once, but overall, it will be released in chapters once a month. Chapters are 4 levels each, and they will be avalible for download here at Shortlife.com, hosted by GameSpy.
What type of game play will we be facing?
Shortlife Game play is almost the same style as Half life 1, it's not one of those mods where There is a grunt round every bend. Monsters are placed in the best places, some times you will get a fright, other times you might expect what's round that corner...
Are the maps narrow or wide, what type of areas will I be fighting in?
You will be fighting in a variety of places, large, small, narrow and wide. We hope to include part of XEN, and even on the other side of the combine portal...
