Set in both the heart and outside of City 17, "The Citizen Returns" contains the final chapters of our citizen's story, as well as an updated version of Part II. The story takes place shortly after a failed assassination attempt on Dr. Breen leads to the first ever use of the Overwatch Broadcast system by The Resistance, represented by former garage owner Larry Soderstrom. The Combine forces decide to capture him and try to use his public repentance and execution as a means to appease the emergent rebellion. The Citizens of City 17 however have other ideas in mind. Larry is now a symbol for the rebellion and a key asset in a bigger plot to deal a fatal blow to the Combine and its grip on humankind...
This mod is fantastic, the story is really great, and levles are inspired, play it !
Excellent work.
It's actually like a new game in Half-Life universe.
Every detail in this mod made not only by professionals - but by people who loves Half-Life 2 and tries to tell another story to us.
10/10
Put simply, this is the best Half Life 2 Modification I have ever played. I greatly enjoyed the story, and I loved many of the characters. Six years later, I can keep coming back to the first part and starting from the beginning. This mod will get old, but it sure as hell won't get boring. My recommendation? Stop reading the damn reviews, and download it.
The mod did a fantastic job at using all the elements needed to make a successful game. While the voice acting wasn't exactly at it's best in expression and a real feel; it was easily made up by very deep character stories and backgrounds, reminding us that Half-Life 2 isn't the only story and that there's a whole breathing world out there with deep personal stories, love, and deaths. The mod also did a fantastic job at designing the maps to give you the feeling of relativity and choosing the correct audio to represent it in a way that actually fit into the current scenario.

This is one of the best mods i've ever played , everyone should try this out.
Awesome job and and a well thought out story. Larry's voice was his personality, uniquely laid back. He sounded as if he was in control of his emotions. All the voice acting was as polished as could be.
It made me look up everyone's previous work and download that. Well done people!
Really awesome work. -1 point only for a bit weak sometimes voice acting (yes, I keep in mind that those are all amateurs and all, just some of them sound a bit uninterested and/or boring). :)
Good work guys, next time you need better voice actors.
I read a lot of negative stuff about this mod and was frankly not so keen to start playing, having had a world of trouble finishing “The Citizen”. Not the modder’s fault I just happened to start it during Valves first update!
I was unimpressed with the ending of “The Citizen 2” because I couldn’t get through it without cheating!
This version played smoothly, just a minor noclip to get out of the ice rink, not the first time I had to do that! I enjoyed playing it more than previously and got through the final plaza scene using the explosive option, having failed numerous times as the sniper! It was very immersive and the characters seem quite genuine. So the voice acting ‘s a little creaky to start, for the most part its great!
The final part of this mod series has the full flavour of the previous parts and follows a pretty descent storyline. There are some wicked action pieces, one quite shocking when a particularly nasty member of the antlion family is literally in-yer-face! Where I am always the one to scout ahead!
Puzzles were interesting, the battery-for-the-boat being a nice one along with the climb on a wobbly box with a wobblier blue barrel on top. I had to repeat that one!
The rebel base with the boat bay was very well designed with a multilevel spiral stair being a visual treat and easy to negotiate even carrying a battery.
The river ride out was very nice and natural feeling, curved rock formation and shimmering glassy water! I for one wouldn’t want to be sitting in the airboats trailer!
The ending was great and completed an interesting side story in the Half-Life saga with a big bang and a mine car ride! At least it’s safe to drink the water!
I had no problems with this mod and loved every minute. On the subject of NPCs I had now issuses, in fact at one point, low on ammo and health, I got lost after opening a silo door and found that my NPC comrades had killed those pesky combine for me!
Just finished part 2's multiple missions.
