This is my entry for Valve's dm map contest. I'm not quite satisfied but this was what time allowed me to create. I would have liked more time to get to know the new HL2 features.

It started out as a map for testing the bots in HL 1. I made a simple version of the biggest room in the map and tried it out with different bots. Then I added some more rooms and features. It has been playtested in it's HL1 version and was quite usable for dm, my colleges who tested found it has an exiting layout that creates fast paced action. It has been converted and upgraded with HL2 features. A security room with an overview screen of the two largest rooms in the map has also been added. The layout is that of an abandoned secret base somewhere in a desert environment.

I recommend 6+ players, 12 being the ideal, but I guess 20 players could have a crowdy but good time...

Any comments are appreciated on this map...
