Human Error is a co-op/singleplayer mod for Half Life 2: Episode 2. The campaign puts you as Civil Protection Officer Anders, who fights against a Resistance/Xenian uprising in a Combine city.


Human Error took more than two and a half years to finish. In my opinion, this is already quite a long time to do a single episode. The idea to work on the same thing right away is not the most interesting one. As a mod developer you want to be able to try new things and new ideas, rather than be stuck on the same project with ideas and story you already came up with years ago – you don’t want to keep working in the same framework. If you were working for a company, you might not have a choice. But as mod developer, you want a shorter time span for your project. Currently Water is supposed to take about a year to develop, and we plan the same for our next project. That’s not to say Human Error - Episode Two doesn’t exist however. We already have some plans and ideas for it, but nothing that really make us all that excited.

We don't really have anything like the Controllable Manhacks, which for us was a big hook the first time around. The plan was, at one point, to make HE2 part as a co-op campaign, but making a multiplayer mod needs a bigger crew, with more playtesters and servers to test the mod on. It's something that would be harder to organize for a team that has always been a little on the small side. So, whilst we haven't given up on Human Error, right now our minds are on other adventures. With Water we are trying out all kinds of new gameplay features that we wouldn't be able to do in the FPS world of Human Error, and we're having a lot of fun doing it. Hopefully you'll like it too.


Features:
Controllable Manhacks
Playing as a Civil Protection member
Fighting Alien Grunts, Mantas, Vortigaunts, Controllers
Awesome voice acting
Co-op traitor mode
Sniper Rifle
Alyx Gun
Driving an APC
And more, probably, since I'm only a fourth of the way through.


Sorry for the short-ish thread and copypasta, I have to go to school

Completed story this evening, started this evening.
Was very fun.
Manhacks, APC, Sniper Rifle. <3

Quality mod, co-op is a bit empty. No servers.
