This is a a discussion topic for the map "Colony Alpha" by SEThorian which can be found here
Map description:
Colony Alpha is a tiny Half-Life: Deathmatch map made by yours truly in just 23 hours. (That includes sleeping and whatnot.)
I already had the idea for Colony Alpha in my head for quite some time and was inspired by a screenshot I saw somewhere here, on the Snarkpit. (Perhaps a small desert styled map by Reno?)
The setpiece of Colony Alpha is the little arena in the center of the map where the RPG can be found. Around the arena runs a small tunnel complex which, at each corner, offers some sort of special weapon.
The map seems to be suited for short games of HL:DM.
Last fact: the Xenoid rocks in the arena are made with the cilinder method. (Where cilinders are used to resemble rocks.) They're quite neat...
