I was just finishing a 49-map mod called Last-life. That's right, it's longer than Blue shift. But what "long" mod isn't longer than blue shift nowadays? People left and right complain that blue shift was too short. Blah Blah no one cares.
This mod is basically the end product of a chemical equation between vanilla, Blue shift, Opposing Force, and something French. It is a French mod that attempts to reimagine parts of the chapters that you went through in the three official games. Unfortunately the results are not always great. I ran into your typical problems, including freezes, areas where you must noclip to proceed, and inconsistent v_ models.
The story is as follows. You are Gordon Freeman, and you don't work in sector C. You work in some other unknown sector with dim lighting. One day you go to work, and you mindlessly press a button on a laser machine, causing it to spiral out of control and cause all systems to go haywire. Xen aliens arrive and start a party at the wrong time. And since no one brought chips, the Xen aliens resort to eating your colleagues because they are quite hungry, having eaten nothing since they expected food at the party. This makes your life more difficult. And I just made this up.
So what sets this mod apart from nameless others? Just look at the image below, a memorable screenshot of this mod.
Naw I'm just kidding. That wasn't the highlight. The real highlight about this mod that is absent in other mods is the ingenuity in map design (when it isn't bugging out). Sometimes, you are dumbfounded at a certain area or stumped by a locked door and need to figure out how to get thru. This will happen often. You must have a good eye and thinking to see the hidden paths that will allow you to proceed. Otherwise, you will spend the rest of your days in the bowels of black mesa among all the other crap down there. Poo.
So this mod has the French flag and clever hidden paths going for it. Try it out if you want, but, bear in mind it can be frustrating sometimes due to a small amount of bugs.

Why are you always testing out the weirdest obscure mods? The last one you recommended (that I tried) got me killed in less than a minute of gameplay. I didn't even get to explore the room I spawned in.
I'm waiting for a well thought-out mod now.
