This is a a discussion topic for the map "dm_pyramids" by Sexan which can be found here
Map description:
I made a few maps for HLDM so wanted to have a crack at the HL2DM. Real life caught up though so I'm putting it out without adding as much to it as I may have. It should make for good gameplay though with a reasonable number of players - I'd suggest 5 min.
It's quite different to most maps out there - I wanted to combine a 'normal' scenery based map with what I liked about 'killbox' type maps- the result is six large pyramids with one big outdoor space and a network of rooms of all sizes within the structures. There is little in the way of decoration and things to play with, as the killbox, but also a carefully thought-out layout with plenty of connectivity.
If anyone fancies having a go at adding a bit more detail or some toys to make a more polished level just send an email and I'll send you the .vmf - I'd love to see it looking really finished, meanwhile I think it should make for a good deathmatch so I hope you like it

I've tried again and it still doesn't work. Maybe find one of these free 1-file-hosts and upload it there. They mostly have several limits but should work a little better.

It worked for me...
<br>
<br>Anyhow, This map suffers from some bad texturing (i.e. too much of the same stuff)
<br>
<br>I got lost in the map a bit. I thought that there were only 4 pyramids, but in reality there are 6 (only four on the outside, and I realize that you specified that, but I didn't remember), I had to noclip out to figure that out
<br>
<br>I had no idea what the buttons did, unless I noclipped to where the noises were coming from. I don't get the scene though. Are these actually supposed to be ruins of old pyramids?
<br>
<br>Either way, I suppose this map was built okay-ish, but it suffers from detail and its immense size, it's HUGE and easy to get lost in...
