Improvements:
Lighting and atmosphere - all maps are re-lit with dark, deep shadows, creating a more intense and cinematic atmosphere.
Weapons and combat mechanics - weapon models are replaced with ones styled after the 1950s for better authenticity. New weapons are added, such as a plasma gun and the classic tripmine. Enemy characteristics are reworked to react more realistically to threats.
Quality-of-life improvements - frequent auto-saves, subtitles, less annoying enemy shooting, improved AI.
Infection Rate system - when the player’s health decreases, a damage resistance system activates. This encourages strategic play instead of frequent healing.
Survival and achievements - a Survival mode with waves of zombies, achievements system, and an easy episode selection via menu without console commands.
