Snarkpit 2004 "Original theme" mapping contest entry.

This map placed joint third in the voted category despite very stiff competition. Its a tad too large and open for the aging HL engine, with the skybox using about 99% of the x/y grid in hammer, and most of that being taken up by a giant fully viewable volcano island. That said, it does run and can be fun with 3 or 4 people running around. Weapons and armour are dished out when you spawn as the map is pushing the engine enough as it without placing loads of items around.

My fifth release was a diversion level to take my mind off the increasingly frustrating project "Forsaken", Echo was a 3 day project. As most of my levels took place outside I decided to have a crack at one that took place entirely indoors, and it came out a complete success. This is certainly one of my favorite creations, and it plays really well with 3-6 players. A CTF version is included in the AG modification, available here... http://www.planethalflife.com/agmod

Elixir was my second release, and quite a large step up in quality from Obsolete. At the time I released it I genuinely thought it was basically the best DM map available, and while I now see the error of my arrogant ways I still reckon its a pretty fine map. Best suited for 4-8 players.
