This is the best mod Ever !
There is nothing to even say - you just need to turn it on and play. This beauty MUST be seen!
Already posted my review for this on Simplici7y, but gonna post it here as well:
"Although Apotheosis is "technically" a Total Conversion mod for Marathon/Aleph One engine, the quality and work put into it (graphics overhaul, new weapon/enemies + tweaks to existing ones to make gameplay punchier, full game's worth of levels) make it much more than just a mod for Marathon and more like an entirely professional indie game.
For anyone who is a fan of Boomer/retro shooters, I absolutely recommend to check it, even if you aren't a fan of original Marathon games. Like the og Marathon games, it is completely free to download and play and IMHO, its a lot more enjoyable than a good deal of retro FPSes out there.
Although its story is linked to Marathon games (it's story acts as a side story), you don't need to play Marathon to get into the story. And the story itself isn't all the necessary to enjoy it either. The gameplay makes up for it.
As for my specific experience with Apotheosis, I can say that the few gripes I had with original Marathon's gameplay are no longer an issue here. The levels here pretty complex looking, but yet pretty straightforward in terms of progression as I seldom got lost at where I needed to go. And the maps made great usage of incidental and setpiece based combat situations.
Another issue I had (with Marathon 2 specifically) was the over abundance of swimming and water based combat. Thankfully no boring water melee combat in Apotheosis. Instead Apotheosis uses the vaccum/oxygen mechanic to create arguably one of the most memorable levels in the form of "Sky Burial" where we carefully traverse in the dark semi-destroyed space station at low gravity.
About the only thing that comes close to being less than excellent is the storyline, which seems like a rehash of Marathon 2's story. But it's still well done overall."
The mod is old but still fun
Oblige maps... why do people release oblige maps? You made NOTHING. You generated something that literally anyone else can do. Waste of everyone's time.
Played with the "Early Access" version.
Counter-Life 2 adds Counter-Strike: Source weapons and functions to Half-Life 2.
Needs some polish to be really enjoyable but the Early Access version is fun.

a really fun and grand scale mod. this is some of the most rich feeling faction experience you could have in dow2 modding, with each race really aiming to distinguish itself from the rest while still abiding by dow2's counter-centric attrition gameplay.
for example, ig and sm are no longer basically different model count versions of eachother, but a swarm faction that relies on their numbers & mobile reinforce points to hold against enemy attacks VS. an elite fast attack force that can sweep through the map in seconds, dealing tons of melee and ranged damage but paying dearly for every loss
the mod has a lot of heart and soul put into it, and this really shows everytime you boot up a match. i wish the devs the best working on this mod in the future
This game was amazing! I have played it twice now and still jump. Still get scared s***less. Keep up the awesome work! You can see my full playthrough on YouTube: Jay's Horror Gaming | www.youtube.com/@djjustb | Link to video: Youtu.be
