Map Description

In the oppressed City17, abandoned train terminals offer refuge from the domination of the Combine. By necessity, decayed structures and detritus of the past will be used as cover in a last-ditch battle for survival.

This highly connected map provides a combination of close-quarters and semi-open combat with z-axis potential. It is intended for 2-6 players.

A very nice, surprisingly small and dense map with quite a few interesting spots. Layout is near-perfect and climbing up that huge train car feels great. Maybe the RPG is a little to easy to get. Also you can enter a vent which I don't think is supposed to be entered because of the nodraw texturing inside.

The brushwork is very solid and looks great in most places. Maybe the wall details could be a little finer, they are a bit too big, rectangular and blocky for a HL2DM map. As I said earlier, there might be too many too similar tile-textures which do not fit to each other very well IMO.

The map could handle more physics props. Especially since some of the available ones are a little dissatisfying (the blue bench doesn't seem to fly around quite the way it should, for example).

Anyway. Very solid map. Recommendable for those looking for a smaller map for fast frags and good movement.
