This map placed joint third in the voted category despite very stiff competition. Its a tad too large and open for the aging HL engine, with the skybox using about 99% of the x/y grid in hammer, and most of that being taken up by a giant fully viewable volcano island. That said, it does run and can be fun with 3 or 4 people running around. Weapons and armour are dished out when you spawn as the map is pushing the engine enough as it without placing loads of items around.
Woohoo, all the leaks are fixed at long last (many hours of vertex manipulation later!) and the beast is compiling. Hope Lep accepts a late entry...the MAP was technically ready in time, it just had...unforseen complications :sad:
Meh, can't get the thing to compile due to hitting just about every limit (clipnodes, leafs, planes...). If I could only find this damn leak I could cut out the underside of the volcano, which would probably bring me within all of them :sad:

The volcano and the paths round it look really cool :smile: Looking forward to seeing the next (final?) version...
