Poll Question 163 – Is Endless Spawning a Valid Gameplay Mechanic?

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

You don’t see it too often but when you do it can be as frustrating as hell – endless streams of enemies, poring out of some entrance with an almost demon passion.

On the surface I would say that there is never any place for this game mechanic in a normal map or mod, but there are times when a designer may want to challenge your preconception that you are invincible.

Black Mesa 2007

for Half-Life

You play Gordon, who for some strange reason finds himself back at his old haunt.

Work your way through a few areas of BM and kill a few enemies, not rocket science, is it?
