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.

Remember that kid who played contra NES for the first time and thought it was harder than halo.

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.
