Features / Specifics

• Full Combine & Hostile NPC Panic: Unarmed citizens will no longer stand still like sitting ducks against the Combine! Spotting Combine soldiers, Metrocops, or hostile monsters will trigger immediate terrified flight and screams.
• Armed Rebel Retaliation on Murders: If the player murders any citizen or allied rebel, armed resistance members who witness the crime will ALWAYS immediately open fire on the killer and call their squad mates into battle!
• Anti-Accident Near-Miss Protection: Stray bullets (1-3 shots) near armed rebels will only provoke vocal warnings ("Watch what you're doing!", "Are you crazy?!"). Rebels only open fire after sustained shooting in their direction (4-6 shots), preventing accidental friendly-fire wars while fighting enemies.
• Aim Intimidation: Pointing a weapon directly at citizens makes them back off in fear and eventually sprint away. Aiming at armed rebels makes them raise their guns and warn you to back off before opening fire.
• Cornered Cower & Mercy Begging: If trapped in a dead end by the player or enemies, unarmed citizens drop to their knees, protect their heads (ACT_COWER), and beg for mercy instead of stupidly running into a wall.
• Mob / Herd Panic Chain Reaction: When one citizen screams and runs in terror, nearby peaceful citizens catch the fear wave and start fleeing too.
• Resistance Field Medics: Medic citizens proactively run to wounded allies and players, playing the authentic Valve "Heal" animation, injecting first aid with medkit sounds and voice lines.
• Unarmed Citizens Flee from Corpses: Unarmed citizens, refugees, medics, Kleiner, Eli, and Mossman will scream in terror and run away if they discover any dead body or ragdoll nearby - even if the player is far away!
• Gunshot Reactions: Firing weapons near unarmed citizens scares them away, while armed rebels stay calm and hold their ground.
• Anti-Chorus & Dynamic VO: Features over 50 authentic Half-Life 2 voice lines with speech token queuing. NPCs will never talk over each other in an overlapping cacophony, and will not repeat the same line back-to-back.
• Full In-Game Menu (EN/RU): Configure every single aspect via the Spawnmenu (Q Menu -> Utilities -> Panic & Retaliation) with dynamic English and Russian language switching!
