This is a a discussion topic for the map "Holiday Hell" by Victor-933 which can be found here

Map description:

Merry Christmas!

My GOD it's been too long. To make up for it, I've created and at least attempted to optimize a special map just for the Snarkpit, although I will warn you right now: it peaks around 3500 wpolies.. /hides

The map itself is set in a small section of an alien shopping mall decorated for Christmas (nevermind the details, I mean come on. It's a game where you make stuff explode with a Ghostbusters Gun in a top secret research center) and it just gets more fun the more players you cram into it. Hopefully I've added enough weapons, although I absolutely REFUSE to add the crossbow. It's so cheap, you can kill someone by shooting them in their little toe for crying out loud. Instead I've placed the 357 in the sniping perch, because it's a MAN'S sniping weapon. Headshot or nothing.

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed making it, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hey, this looks really neat! Sadly I don't have HL1 installed at the moment or I'd take a look. I really like some of the architecture you've got in there, and the theme is great and something I've not really seen done in HL before. The lighting seems a little muddy to me, as do the textures, but it's maybe just me forgetting how things look in HL1 as much as anything. I'd also have maybe liked to have seen a tad more colour - maybe a little green glow from the (presumably holographic?) signs.

Anyway, nice work man, and I'd say it looks to make up for your absence!
