|  | Minerva : Metastasis "Special Edition" Released

Minerva is a 4 map episode created for Half-Life 2 Episode 1 and was released in 2007. It has just been re-released on Steam as a special edition with various changes, improvements and bug fixes.
(IMO) It is one of the best custom maps created for Half-Life 2 and you should check it out if you haven't already :)

It really is awesome and you should play it if you didn't already. It's on par with what Valve made themselves - especially the second and third parts.
What Are The Differences?

A Few

Most of them are fairly subtle.
The biggest changes that I noticed were the new music that has been added to a few sections, new special effects and sounds in a lot of places also.
There is also a large compatibility update to the mod as the original Minerva got somewhat broken by an Episode 1 patch that valve released at some point, which made the mod unstable and introduced a few visual errors in things like the waves on the beaches and other areas, these are all fixed now.
There's probably more stuff, but that is what I noticed on my play through.

here is a link to the changes - https://hylobatidae.org/minerva/bl... .
Valve actually hired the author (Adam Foster) a few years back, after Minerva was fully released IIRC.
I think everyone waited compatibility with the Source engine edition from EP1 to be resolved - as @daz said.
