ex-prefabber, semi-mapper, full-time slacker...talks a great deal but rarely says anything...better to just avoid this stupid f**k

Every time something happens that gives me additional cause to hate humanity I add another room to my Half-Life level.

Yes, its been a couple of years since I released a Half-Life map...I did manage to become a much better mapper in the mean time. I took it upon myself to correct all of the mistakes I made in Torque and to make a high quality map, both visually and play-wise. After hours of hard work and the total abandoning of about five almost complete maps, I finally made a map I was happy with.

This is a medium-sized, fast-paced map that's fun for the whole family. There are six main areas interconnected with hallways and teleporters. All of the weapons except the snarks and hornetgun are included. Getting the egon is possible, but don't be cursing at me for tricking you to go after it. I made sure that the weapons are balanced, and that the ammo placement forces people to move around if they want the most out of the more powerful ones like the gauss and rpg. In my opinion, this kind of weapon/ammo placement provides the best deathmatch experience. ;) There is almost nowhere to hide and camp, so those of you who like that sort of thing better be prepared to lose.

Basically I created a map that I would like to play. Frankly, I'm pretty happy with how this map turned out. I hope you will enjoy playing it as I did building it.

STORY:

The human invasion of Xen went all according to plan. The Nihilanth is dead, thanks to Gordon Freeman, and the Xen forces are in disarray. In order to control the border world the military built multiple bases in strategic locations and began hunting down the remnants of the Xenian forces. The G-Man, with both Xen and Freeman in his control, is confident that he has accomplished his mission.

That is, until contact with one of the bases was lost. Recon teams were sent in, but none returned. Now you've been sent in to see what has caused this mess. Hope you have better luck than those who entered before you...
This is my competition entry. I know it's got some problems, but I wanted to enter anyways :P. Depending on people's reactions to it I may fix up any problems and redo the lighting.

This is a smallish map that is good for 2-8 players. Any more will cause the map to degenerate into a giant pistol/crowbar fight on the ground level. This map is mainly a bunch of interconnected halls and stairways surrounding a large open area. The r_speeds never go above 450, and they only reach 450 in only two places. There is a large amount of weaponry spread out throughout the level, but the ammo is placed to force people to move around. It is almost impossible to camp out anywhere.

I didn't include all the weapons, since I didn't think they would fit. Snarks, the HornetHand, and the Egon were not included, and there are only one each of the RPG, the Gauss, and the Crossbow.

ADDENDUM Well, this is my first released map. It never got the respect I felt it deserved. I was going for gameplay over visuals, and its fairly obvious. I was obsessed with low r_speeds, since I had such an old computer, and I couldn't compile anything more complicated...so there you have it. If you can stand the looks, you will find a great DM map here.

This is a scripted sequence. First, the scientist walks up to the machine and tries to buy a cola. The machine refuses to dispense the desired beverage, so the scientist gets mad and starts pounding on the machine. A few small explosions go off, scaring the scientist. Then the machine falls on top of him.

This is four separate versions of the APC. They are modeled off the ones in Half-Life.

This is a five ton cargo truck. This is one of the best truck prefabs ever made for Half-Life. It has correct proportions, an enterable back, and there are ways to get both on top of it and into the cab.
