The latest additions to one of the best mods for Half Life 2 includes NPC's and items from the following source games : Portal, HL2:Ep2 HL2:Ep1 and TF2
Garrys Mod now utilizes the somewhat more graphically and visually enchancing Episode 2 engine. There are now blur effects which look cool whilst trying to kill a hunter with a crowbar but in theory just increase the already prominent faults in the multiplayer.
Omg wtf lag? Multiplayer is now even more laggy than it was before and spawning an NPC reduces the framerate to about 5. It's not just because I have an older PC, everyone on the server gets it. Voice communication becomes near to impossible with such high pings and moving around is jerky and there is somewhat more room for griefing. As it was only released recently there are still many small updates needed to fix the recurring crashes.
Apart from all the lag and crash issues, the new props are great. I entertained myself for about 20 minutes just by spawning a companion cube and making a little safe enclosure for it to play and frolick in the shiny new textures. TF2 props are entertaining although they haven't integrated the weapons yet. *Drools over the thought of a pyro flamethrower*
It's a big update, allowing you to play more of the HL2 maps and the new Portal and TF2 maps . Sadly they haven't produced an official portal gun yet but there are innumerate 3rd party portal guns.
Altogether it's a huge update with loads of new content but there are still a few issues which need to be fixed.
