Fallowing the release of the awesome Brutal Half-life mod which was inspired by the Brutal Doom mod for Doom, I decided to make a Doom style map for Half-life (it works with vanilla Half-life also, but using Brutal Half-life is recommended for the proper experience). Like in Doom, the player has to collect keycards to unlock new areas of the map and level design is abstracted rather than realistic.
I would say that about 40-50% of the level is done right now, though I don't really know how big the level will end up once done. It's all subject to change of course. To run just put the bsp into the map folder and type into the console "map firstblood".
I hope the map is any good so far and look forward to hearing your feedback

Anyway. This looks alright from the screenie, I might check this out.
EDIT: How do I add extra screens? When I went to edit map and picked another shot the map page still has only the original screenshot.
EDIT: Actually not it appears but it merely replaced the old screenshot instead of being added. How do I ADD shots instead of replacing the old one?
SURPRISE!
Welcome to TWHL - It's broken here.
The map is OK at the moment. I guess I'm not really a fan of having to fight through huge hordes of enemies that are just standing around. The spectacle offered by Brutal Half-Life's gore would surely make this slightly more entertaining.
I prefer maps with a little story to them as well as a sense of place. Although it was difficult to convey back in 1993, Doom did still have a plot and a setting. I'm just not sure what kind of location this map is meant to be set in...
I won't properly rate it until it's finished however.
Is there anything else about the map you feel like sharing?
I'd rate it 3 right now because:
- unfinished
- lacking details
- open areas need tweaking, zombies gotta be more of a hallway monster (the first room I'd replace zombies with houndeyes)
- needs more keycard gameplay
- I'd like to see more colored lighting / more tone / ambience
But I liked:
+ lacking details, all you need is good ol' quake architecture and you got some of it right.
+ keycards
+ showcases Brutal HL mod well
4/5
Please finish it!
