Hello everyone.
I have been making a lot of dm maps in my spare time (because it is great) and just finished the newest one called
dm_and_npc.

It is a deathmatch map with a twist: enemy zombies, headcrabs, antlion guards and manhacks can be summoned to attack enemies and set traps as you play. But be careful they could easily turn on you
Playtests revealed that overall it was a welcomed addition and made for an interesting experience. (NOTE: if you wish, you can choose not to have the monsters and just play regularly. OR you can not shoot players and team up similar to coop - even though its designed as a deathmatch map.)
Layout is relatively small, with cracks in the walls and gaps and bars to shoot and see through so there are very few areas where you can be safely without fear of being seen or shot. Fast paced. Multiple ways allow you on top of the glass floor and also onto the higher concrete wall where you can look down.
Look out for the supercharger subtly submerged with the fishes, be careful though if someone pressed one of the levers strategically placed you might get electrocuted - lure monsters into the water too. Fried zombie.
Down in the central area is an
unnecessarily dangerous rpg pit room where a single wrong move and you are just another salty snack for the aliens. If you make it across - choose a short stay in the exposed overwatch cage with the rocket, but face being shot down now everyone knows where you are. Or retreat back through the dangerous alien maze.
As well as all this, there is even more stuff to discover in all parts of the map.
