Someone remade the first level from the original Contra using Half-Life 2. You all should be extremely familiar with this level as you've died at least a thousand times in it. At least.

It's pretty awesome getting to see this level from a first person view. It's also a nice change of pace as I'm sick of seeing that stage how you normally view it. It's not that I suck at Contra. It's that I'm freaking impatient and just want to pew pew pew through the entire game as fast as possible.

What? Don't f**king judge me.

[Thanks, Kevin!]

@pedrovay2003,

I've come to the conclusion that most of Bigmoose's comments are pretty idiotic. I wouldn't bother giving them much thought. He didn't.

Woohoo! Post not written by me are enciting anger!

On a less selfish note this is awesome. I almost didn't believe the headline because the mix is pure delish.

That's actually pretty cool. I'd love to see a full remake for the S&G factor.

That made me very happy. I laughed out loud when I saw the wood splinters shower down from the busted weapon capsules.

Its cool, but this.... this needs to be side scrolling.

Contra is no more a FPS than Doom is a platformer.
