Description: This is a very interesting mod called "The Gate" which is based in 2003 and World War two. The story is based on a collection of three gates discovered by the Nazi's in world war two but the Nazi squad that was sent out to discover it disappeared...63 years later the story goes onto this retired U.S. Army colonel who get's an unexpected wake up call by the U.S Army who want him to go to a top secret government research facility because a top team of U.S Army Commando's have dissapeared after going in search of the gates. All contact was lost .And now you have to stop the Nazi's from finding the original gate. The exciting story unfolds from there. This mod is top notch for a Half-Life modification the mod claims to be one of the last Half-Life mods around. But we will see. Excellent work.

IIII. THE GATE FACTS
I. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS
´THE GATE´ was created on three computers, one a low spec and one middle spec and one what would be high spec i guess.
FIRST...
PIII 550, 160mb Ram, nvida TNT2AGP32
SECOND...
PIII866, 256 mb Ram, nivda TNT2AGP64
THIRDLY...
P4 2.4 gig, 512 ram, nivida geforce4
So In effect THE GATE should run ok on most machines, considering the standard in computing
PLEASE NOTE.......... THE GATE while being created was not bound by
R_SPEED Obsession so no doubt in some places the R_speeds will rise above normal in places
but this no way effects the gameplay, So please any contact letters refering to HIGH
R_SPEEDS will be deleted.... In my opinion too many Halflife mod makers are bound by R SPEEDS
or use R SPEEDS for an excuse for lack of artistic talent and to be honest who gives a toss
if the R SPEEDS are high in some games as long as the game play isnt effected, with the
influx of powerful computers R SPEEDS are more or less obselete.. Its a bit like having a car
that runs fine but you turn round and say ah its no good as theres a tear in one of the seats.
A bit pointless really...
Constructive criticism is more than welcome but moaning for no reason will simply be ignored
so dont bother.......
Windows(r) 95, Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0
Pentium 133+, 24 MB RAM
SVGA, high color (16-bit)
2x CD-ROM drive
Windows-compatible sound card
Mouse, keyboard
II. GENERAL TECHNICAL ISSUES
ANY BUGS THEN EMAIL ME
III. GENERAL GAME ISSUES

Cool story, i'll download and see if its fun

Its new? I ran across it about a year ago...
Dont get me wrong though, going back in time to kill Hitler was rather appealing, but its rather tough to beat. Pretty fun to play too. Realistic as well, dont waste ammo or you will regret it.

The whole premise makes me think Stargate/Indiana Jones, which isn't a bad thing.
I found this a year ago too, but back then, there wasn't much to it in the way of custom models. All I played was going through a series of tunnels armed with nothing but a knife and not fighting anything.

Extract the folders contents to the "hl" folder in your steam folder and look for "The Gate" in your steam browser under "Third Party".

Not quite geriatric, but am waaaay older than most of you lot, slower, approaching senility perhaps, but I am soo stuck on the tank yard scene, have tried every angle to get through, without cheating, and die every time...is there a 'walk-thru' anywhere, pretty please? This is a top map, and I will persevere, but it loses its fun if you can't get thru.......
oh, & happy new year!
