Half-Life Mods #85:Induction
The lore of the Half-Life series after Opposing Force and Blue Shift often seems not clear cut at first as I no longer believe that Half-Life 2 is canon, There are far too many retcons from both Half-Life 2 Episode 1 and 2 to even take it seriously so I view it as not canon, Likewise the events before Half-Life we don't know much about except from the Demos Day One and Uplink and the Half-Life manual but this mod, from 2009 does an alright job of telling the pre-black mesa disaster events.
Induction is an Russian mod that tells events prior to Black Mesa's Resonance Cascade, As an newly hired Gordon Freeman you learn about his background and how he met members of the Black Mesa Research Staff including Eli Vance and Issac Kleiner and his "rivalry" at times with Security Guard Barney Calhoun.
There's no combat here really, Induction is mainly an story driven mod that uses timelapses or Time skips to explain the events prior to the Half-Life storyline, It also uses the PlayStation 2 Version' of Half-Life's Training course for this purpose.
It's an decent job, The Russians can actually mod if they try.. Though most looking for an action mod will find the slow pace of Induction sleep inducing, Induction though is an mod that most Half-Life fans should try once..
