Here’s a collection of a handful of maps from longtime RTSL member (and Ville mapper!) ihonnyboy (Abraham Lee). It’s a bit of a hodgepodge of maps in various states, including some dev textures – and at least one you might recognize from an old mapping challenge. But they are all playable and worth a look, if not perfectly balanced. Enjoy!

Author’s Note

Welcome to Abe’s Spicy Mappack Platter!

This is a collection of maps and assets I worked on many moons ago, and have finally polished for release… and by polished for release I mean I made it so you can go from begining to end. But just because they CAN be beaten doesn’t mean they SHOULD. I like to play these on HARD difficulty, but it is not recommended.

I’ve got 5 dishes lined up for you (All maps are in various levels of development and polish).

    Lots of good puzzles and battle scenes. You really know what’s gonna happen, what you need to do and so on. Easy to spot on/game design. I specially loved the second map. One thing I disliked tho was the amount of action paced when the APC started to show up and bombard the building. I can’t remember if there was also a ship or not, but still, there was too much stuff happening, rockets, bullets, explosions, everything you can imagine. I don’t know how to explain this better, but perhaps going low with the amount of enemies doing pressure over you in that area would sort this issue.

    Overall, nice pack of maps!

    Personal Favourite

    After what seems like a very long time of little activity with HL maps/mods, out of the blue come two Personal Favorites, back to back, starting with Southernmost Combine and then Brave Brain repeated, and now this!

    I only recall Bridgehead from the past, and loved it then. Of the five maps, I rated three of them 10/10 and another 9/10, which is to say the least for me, unusually high. Lots of action, sometimes an overload of it and confusion, but by sticking to it eventually I completed all of them. There are a few difficult puzzles, I’m tempted to post some spoilers, but again if you stick to it and look everywhere, it makes sense.

    I’m just hoping this bonanza of maps lately somehow continues! 😀

    I’d agree, Bridgehead was the best from my point of view, not so much for the manic action as such, but for how nice it looked, hell I’d live there.

    Nice maps!

    Common
    – I love the change of some gun models and enemy voices.

    1st map
    – Short but fun arena map!
    – The visual of the map is beautiful.

    2nd map
    – Well-designed map! There are lots of combats, events and path puzzles, and they are mixed very well.
    – Since the map is pretty long, I wish there is some kind of ‘ending scene’.

    3rd map
    – Nice arena map

    4th map
    – Is the concept ‘F.E.A.R-like combat’? I like the concept!

    5th map
    – I didn’t play this map until ending, anyway I think this is a fun map.

    Ok, so the first map was really really cool. Bunkering down in a house having to cover up the doorways with the furniture as the combine start shooting through the windows is so cool.

    I didn’t really play the second map as it didn’t really vibe with me

    The third map was also really cool and was pretty similar to the first map. looked really nice and the action set pieces were really cool

    The FEAR-Like combat was honestly well designed and very fun to play in. Was very short and i thought that the layout of the map made for some big brain moves.

    Overall a very cool mod and i also like the addition of the custom weapon models.

    A nice buffet of well crafted sequences. The spectacle in the later half of the second map was very entertaining and the level design overall was very tight and the environments realized (at least the parts that were finished were :P.) I really enjoyed the somewhat open ended objectives in the fifth map, I appreciated the ability to do the objectives in whichever order you saw fit. That open-ended yet tight gameplay is something I think would be at home in a potential main-line sequel.
