its a shame I didn't get it working though. my current one runs source perfectly fine, just not super-pretty. in fact, i traded the non-working card for a really awesome wifi setup that's letting me do this! a very fair trade, i can play online now as well as map for Goldz0rz.

Overall, not bad. Good only for small games, I found it very simple yet violently fun!!! I didn't like the fact that there was only one way to go up and it was right out in the open so when I play with bots I get shot in the back all the time while tring to get in.

Ah, I remember this map on Vampire Slayer; one of my fav. HL1 mods. Good times, good times. This map was incredibly fun aswell, so 5 stars for you! Even if it's only for good ol' times sake.

Haha.
Yes, the brigher lava is coming back, i've been fiddling with the shaders for ages, it actually looks like liquid gold at the moment.. I did something wrong.
Habboi: I've posted one or two outside shots before, was quite a while ago, though.

lol "Meatspin" or "Meatspit" would fit the map, too ;x
It's really more a novelty map than anything. Kind of wish I had given players more space to move around, it isn't as playable as I had hoped. Maybe that can be a project to do on Source.

Canada isn't a real country - didn't like that one.
What amazes us is that the States is willing to spend over a trillion dollars to blow up a 3rd world country.
Just think what that money could have been used for - you could have rebuilt your entire health care system into a publically funded system, you could pick your own doctor, you could walk into any hospital emergency room and not just the one that belongs to your insurance company, there's not paper work to fill out - you hand them your health card and when your visit or hospital stay it over you just walk out and don't have to worry about anything.
Just think aboout it - it's a more effecient service, you would end up pumping millions of dollars into the US economy, you would actually become a more healthy nation instead of a cost saving / liability item on some insurance companies income statement. The healthcare industry in Canada is a huge injection of cash in the economy here - thousands are employed in it. In Toronto, where I live, we have a huge hospital- SunnyBrook- (one of serveral) - it's the largest in Canada and they have serval specialty areas - Cancer, heart, emergency helicopter trauma unit, etc.
Think about it this way:
You NEED health care, PROPER health care. You DESERVE proper health care. You and your family is ENTITLED proper healthcare.
Health Insurance Companies EARN their profits by NOT PROVIDING it and want to take away the above from you - if they could charge you and never pay anything - they would be absolutely happy.
We don't understand how your doctor's can morally say to someone - I have the cure, I can fix you up and make you better - but unfortunately - you don't have insurance. I'm sorry.
18,000 people a year die in the States because of no health care, you have the highest infant mortality rates in the western world because of no health care and one of the highest obesity rates in the world.
Tell your politicians to fix the problem - YOU ARE THE GOVERNMENT, OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE and BY THE PEOPLE - not the people for the profit of the insurance company.
that's my 2 cents - lol
p.s. you can also do it more cost effectively than us because you are a smaller country with a larger population base - our country is huge and some health centers (i.e. a village or location that provides halthcare) can be 8 hours away by car - I'm not kidding in some places you can drive for 6 hours straight and not see a sinlge car - no one lives there eitherso there's no help - it's complete wilderness which is another reason the government funnded program works - no insurance company would fund a hospital or clinc that has a population base of 280 or less like some of out villages do - but they do have free medical clinics.

I like it!
I must admit most SP games are boring and tedious to me, but this one was alright. I liked the idea of having the crates to move to shield yourself from the turrets(reminded me of portal sort of), but i think you could have implemented it a little more creatively and/or made it a touch more difficult. Gameplay was fine, not too hard, not too easy, not too boring.
The hallways which were the main structue of the map were nicely structured and texttured, but their use was a bit too repetative imo. I understand about keeping a common theme, but you can do that without reproducing too much of the same stuff.
Excellent cutscenes. Nicely implemented and aptly timed. The cutscenes and intro were probably my most favorite part of the map, second being the crates/turrets scenario.
I think this is a great start with good potential, (i agree with Hotdog on many points) but i think it's still worth 5 stars for a good deal of work and time put into it.
Overall a reall cool map with some neat entity work. Some of the architecture was a bit out of place but otherwise a really cool map
Team Balance 9/10
Entity Placement 10/10
Design 7/10
Map Skill 7/10

Ant: HAH.
Come onnnnnn ;D
Make sure to include everything they need to steal your identity.
Fake, but funny.
To think they were part of the argument resulting in Rowley leaving. ;<
Get it finished before the final Valve update so it becomes one of the included community maps. And it will.
Keep it up. Love the lava room. Although I prefer the brighter lava. Looks better.

Anyway I don't have HL but I will dwnload it soon so I'll try the map

Nice maps! = )
5 stars
if a map doesn not have the required wads, it is NOT "Completed". (feeling mean today) pl.wad isn't even for regular textures, isn't it for sprays?!
Seriously though, wadinclude your non-standard textures, it's not hard.
Also I needed to know the light thing so that helps too.
five million stars
nice map too
