Intro
------------
By way of introduction, I am &quot;Redclaw&quot; and I have spent the last 4 years mapping for AVP2. I also served as a map reviewer for PlanetAVP.
About 4 months ago I jumped in the Half Life 2 arena feet first. It's been a total blastand I love the HL2 world. Hammer is a great
level designer compared to what I had to work with in the AVP2 world. If play AVP2 and would like to check out those maps please PM me.
Description
------------
Arctic Vendetta is a bitterly cold world with a old hydro plant nestled in a deep snow filled valley. The facility is closed for the season
so no one is supposed to be there. I have included two Arctic maps...one is a nice sunny day at 20 degrees (F) and another
map where it's a lot colder, darker, and snowing. Have fun exploring the place and with all my maps...there is a secret room and
some nasty traps. This is my first major HL2 Deathmatch map release and I am sure I still have a lot to learn. So please go easy on me
folks if it is not quite up to what other people are releasing. I hope people will appreciate the hard work and effort that went into
these two maps.
Upate Information - V3

Bug fixes:
-Fixed floating rock cluster models.
-Fixed mountian with damaged displacement brush
-Removed most distorted textures and cleaned up displacement geometery in places.
-Smoothed out some terrain rough spots.
-used a new snow ground texture that removed a light dampening mask as well as the sliding effect.
Other fixes:
-retextured several of the hills
-reblended the textures on many of the cliffside brushes to match groundcover.
-added a new terrain base to allow for more brushes and better lighting.
Additions:
-new lighting system with a stronger light and more detailed shadows (reset texture lightmaps to 32 instead of 64) for terrain
-added a an env_sun object (Sun map version only)
-added a secret teleporter (you will need to find it to see where it takes you).
-added some pine trees
-a few new pickups around the map
-made it possible to climb some of the other hills to improve game flow
