I went through the whole campaign in a Nigel mask, I was filled in my mind

Salvia Plath my beloved

I love how a majority of the music is directly taken from the HLM2 beta leaks

first level with manny pardo i dont know what to do, im stuck and cannot get into his car.

Amazing company

Really great story that's brought down by its terrible level design. Levels far outstay their welcome when it comes to amount of rooms, and they're only fun if you think "Sit in a room with a rifle gunning the people who come at me" is the peak gameplay of the Hotline Miami series.

I really loved it! Great re-interpretation of Manny and Jacket as characters! The level design, while frustrating at times, was still fun and rewarding. The plot was great, and the ending, while brief, made me wonder if I made the right choice (I spared Jacket). 8/10!

Very niiiiice~

Levels are lame but music is top-notch

This is probably one of his oldest works from 2016. He got way better.

nice story and concept but please take a course on level design

♥♥♥♥♥, yeah I remember this having a really good soundtrack but the google doc link to the music mod is locked and I can't download it. What a shame

Hi, im tried to download the music mod file, but i need a permision to acces the drive. Could you please grant me access?

great campaign. I have enjoyed every second of it

Amazing campaign, good level design, all the old mask from the first Hotline Miami, great story. Amazing job !

Excellent campaign! Very enjoyable plot and fun, challenging level design. Don't know what to say other then MUST PLAY.

Good ♥♥♥♥

Amazing campaign, great level design and story.

Thanks man! 3 year mystery solved

Just to let you know, the unknown "Track 5" is Footsteps of Terror by El Starship. It's commonly confused for a song by Scattle called Death Pulse, which he didn't even make.

at the end was pretty difficult but worth all the effort. good job.

This was honestly one of the best Hotline Campaigns I've played, both the levels and story were just enjoyable to play. Thank you for this wonderful piece of content.

This should have been the story for hotline miami 2. It's fun and hard plus a great ending choice. You made a great campaign and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for your hard work on this.

that's a nice car

Good to hear, I've enjoyed the HB series thus far. There's an actual plot going on instead of being a disconnected series of meme references. Keep in mind that even though said plot is very silly, it's important to still put effort into making it engaging. I was actually interested in how HB2 would end but it just sort of gave up right at the end, which wasn't satisfying or funny. I'm still interested in seeing where Hammer's idiotic quest takes him, but don't let it become like one of those "Scary Movie" films where there's no stakes in the plot and the humor is phoned in.

I could provide more in-depth feedback on writing if you'd like. I'm minoring in English and writing is a major interest of mine, so I enjoy helping other people hone their skills just as I hone mine.

I’m glad you enjoyed it! Essentially, I wanted to give the player the choice of jacket’s fate. However due to editor limitations, exploring the aftermath isn’t very possible. Especially with the knowledge we had of it back in 2016. However you are right that I am not terribly good at ending my stories, and hb2 was written so to make fun of that. However I’m working on hb3 at the moment and hope I can write this wrong for that series!

By far my favorite campaign on the workshop. Tight level design, good choice of music, and the writing was way more compelling than most of the other campaigns I've played. Pardo's personal conflict between upholding the law, maintaining his sanity, and wanting to be like Jacket was interesting and complex. I'd go as far as to say that this version of Pardo is way more compelling than any of the playable characters in HM2's story, who are mostly variations on the theme of "bland scumbag who enjoys violence."

My only major grievance is the lack of an ending. Was the campaign stopping right as Pardo confronts Jacket part of your original vision? It felt like there should have been a couple ending scenes exploring the results of the end descision. Maybe following Jacket's arrest you could show Pardo ruminating over whether he did the right thing. I noticed Real Human Being 2 also ends on kind of a lame note, so I feel like this is a part of the writing process you have trouble with.

thank you m8 luv u <3

El tigr3 - The Heist

@robracer97, sup. how named soundtrack on level "Laceration"? :D

Wow, this was probably the best campaign I have played yet.

Yes! Go ahead

Hi, Rob. This story is too nice to be unnoticed by non-english speaking players even after two years. Could you allow me to translate it into russian?

This is easily one of the best campaigns on the Workshop. You captured the atmosphere and characters of the original game perfectly, and the gameplay and level design were on point! The story was very engaging, and Pardo's inner conflict was very well done.
A pleasure to play. Thanks!

I watched it on the blue doctor channel, but i played it because i like the music.

Rule number 1: never take a shotgun to the next stage
Rule number 2: always check every corner
Rule number 3: fast as a speedster

Most of the levels were in my opinion were pretty good in a design sense. The only problem I saw was the final screen of lacerations with all the dogs which made it pretty much impossible to complete if you forgot to get the knife.

Thanks, I’m glad you like the story! This campaign is really old and didn’t age well. All my levels after this are much better

Story and writing wise, this is one of the best campaigns I have so far played, especially the ending. If you are invested for an excellent guide in story-telling then definitely give this campaign a try.

But I must say, as many others have pointed out, that the level design is lacking on a lot of levels:
- Over-reliance on specialist enemies (especially guns).
- Huge open spaces with enemies that you can't see.
- Too many enemies in some areas.
- Spawning you in a way that unless you react IMMEDIATELY you will die.

You are growing stronger

I remember downloading this when I was new and got rekt by everything now it took one day.

no problem good sir :)

Thanks for this tip! I'll move it to google drive

actually, i got the link mirror by veiwing the source of this page in firefoxs that valve filterd, so try that. but good luck on getting a link that isnt blocked by valve

i wish you luck on getting the music mod link corrected

Sorry! Somehow it got over written by the most recent. Problem is I made this on my old laptop so I'm going to have to do some digging to find that file. Will keep y'all posted if I find it

I confirm what dudeman said, I was trying the campaign today but the music mod you download from here is the Don't Fear the Reefer Music (which I also played, great job btw)

I'll take a look

the music mod you linked here leads to the dont fear the reefer music

Sorry, I've never seen that happend before. And of course I play tested it, hundreds of times.
