Scary map for reasons that will be come clear as you play. Very tough difficulty when I played on hard. The lazers glitched out but I managed to defeat the map after several dumb deaths.

played this in stream. It's kinda linear and design is pretty basic, but thats true of 1998 half life mods so it was a nice walk in the park. I recognized the chapter each map was trying to emulate too. Pretty good map pack.
Looks better than a boxy beginner map. I fell down the hole near the spawn and died immediately. Trashcan in the room with the revolver doesnt look too good. The shark doesnt fit inside the fish tank. Developer has a habit of what i call "serious sam mapping" which is basically spawning enemies into the player's face especially when they do something significant. It kinda gets old after seeing it so many times.
Anyway this is pretty good for a first map, I liked the layout, it wasn't blatantly linear. However, be aware of how you use alien grunts. Their large size makes them easy to take out in cramped areas where they cant establish line of fire, leaving them easy pickings for me. They can see me behind the 64x64 box but are unable to shoot.

sounds like reverse sjw. I guess we arent going for perfect historical accuracy, but something reasonably historically believable, but whatever, I didn't make the game, I dont get to decide whats in it. The only thing i decide is whether to buy the game or not.
You might think its not that big of an issue, but sjw's have in the past caused games to be pulled off shelves or prevented you from being able to play them. I think that's a problem, some minority group should not decide whats available to the general public or not. Just dont buy it if u dont like it.

Played on hard. Simpler version of "we've got hostiles" from half life. It felt like a sven coop map kinda because of the basic design, although the combat is pretty nice. The optional side rewards at first makes a huge difference later on in the game, there's also more creative ways to go about the harder battles. I'd say this is a combat oriented map and the battles are designed pretty well, good for a challenge but since I took the side path it was fairly easy. Otherwise this might be a tough challenge I imagine.

in some countries smoking is necessary to build social connections as part of work or social bonding, like drinking. I think environment is a huge factor and it is your responsibiility to avoid smoking-inducing environments as much as possible (if smoking isnt ubiquitous in your country), you clearly said you relapsed due to seeing smoking coworkers. I could tell you the story of how my grandpa quit but it definitely has to do with manipulating your environment. This applies when you have already resolved to quit (unlike some other people who dont even want to quit and denies the dangers of it)

i want to see it, but you picked some of the worst time for me, worse than unq's stream time. Conveniently thou i have already gone thru almost the entire vault years ago and can pinpoint the goldsrc single player maps for you, if you are interested in knowing it.

Most of the times, a person's beliefs are tied to their self esteem. Invalidating their opinions will be an assault on their character, so nobody is gonna cave in.

my mentor always told me, if your stuck in a job/school that you simply have no interest in, quit it as soon as you find an alternative job/school that you want to go into. Dont waste more time deliberating indecisively. I was stuck in a school few months back and it was terrible, I wasn't doing poorly in grades but I intensely disliked the situation for pretty much same reason as what you said. Quitting was only a matter of time.
Motivation/procrastination is another big issue floating around nowadays. I'm going to be honest and admit that the reason I'm wasnt mapping for urby's collab was because I was playing tf2. What a terrible decision.
