This map is based on the Halo map. My first map in Source, and really my first map overall (not counting an fy map I made about a year ago; I try to forget about that disaster.) There is not much more I can say about this map besides its almost the same as the Halo map, and to have fun with it!
I've never played Halo - so I could care less about all the people whining how it isn't perfect and blah blah blah... Why don't you stop your complaining and just go play Halo and not this map?
As for it's playability in HL2DM, I have to say this was a very fun map to play. I have it setup on one of my dedicated servers and it's got good feedback.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't the name of it beaver creek not battle creek. Maybe it was called something different in the first halo, i never really got into number 1. Other than that, as easy as the program is to use its still hard to get things right such as size and stuff. Keep working on this map and Polish it up a little bit. good map tho

Looks good though on how accurate it is for sure I will have to play it. However there is one problem with converting Halo maps to Half Life 2 maps: the hieght the player jumps. In Halo players can jump very high, and even bring their legs up to gain even more distance. Since in Half-Life 2 you cant jump nearly as high some of the fast pace from jumping from one place to another is taken away, however I cant say fro sure because mayby you might have scaled it for that reason.
This map is terrible for what they portrayed battle creek to be. The map is well made and would be good if it were original and not a copy. Before I found this map, I actually started 'Beaver Creek' which is battle creek, but in Halo 2. The author of this map built his two bases inaccurately, and he added dumpsters and trash. It is a very unattractive map. But excellent with the displacement.
Don't hate the map just because it is from Halo, guys. (fanboys are fagboys ;] )
I personally don't like the idea because it is from Halo, but because i know for a fact Battle creek is a cramped up, over-vegetated map by Bungie. you should have replicated blood gulch, or something less smushed together. Well done from what i see, though.
