    A first map, with a simple theme: work your way down from the room until you reach the end.

    Explore the corridors and rooms and watch out for those Combine Soldiers!

    Good Luck.

    After constant Source problems, Lord has decided to stop development of Eye Of The Storm 2 and move onto a new engine and game. He has released his work in progress but no more development will happen on this mod.

    Please be aware that this is UNCOMPLETED work and contains bugs, errors, missing textures etc.

  • Poll Question 190 – Would you buy a retail game just to play an SP mod?

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

    A comment on this week’s Podcast17 got me thinking about the connection between retail games and mods. Many times I have heard of people buying retail games so they could play multiplayer mods; Counter-Strike and Team Fortress are the obvious examples, but I am sure there are others. However, I’ve never heard of anybody buying a retail game just to play an SP mod.

  • Poll Question 189 – If you could play for as long as you wanted, how long would you play for?

    I’ve discussed this before but as I get older the length of my gaming sessions (which are not very long anyway due to running the site and projects!) get shorter and shorter.

    I have a fair amount of free time but can’t play for long because my mind wanders onto all the tasks and work still needed. That said, even if I didn’t have other things requiring my attention I doubt I would play for me than a couple of hours, it’s just too much for me.

    What about you?

    There’s been lots of talk about the Black Mesa mod this week and it reminds me that not too long ago they said it would definitely be released before 2011.

    The recent preview on Atomic Maximum Power Computing shows that a lot of the game seems finished, although I haven’t actually read the article because I want to be surprised.

  • Steam Hardware and Software Survey

    So, for whatever reason, Steam asked me if I wanted to participate in their survey. Being a kind and helpful person by nature I clicked YES.

    Answered the few questions it asked about connection speed and microphone and then clicked next. Off it went to collect my system’s specs and all was fine until I decided to scroll down through the list to see what I had.

  • Maze Of Death

    A seemingly simple map, that has brick walls, set in a maze design. Includes, Combine soldiers, zombies, fast zombies and a rather unhelpful Alyx.

    This was originally released in December 2004 and I have updated the post to include new screenshots and working download servers.

    It will revert back to its original publish date of December 2005, in one month.

    “A small house surrounded by zombies. The neighborhood was all dead and the only survivor was you. Survive the attack of the zombies, weapons and ammos are inside the house and a terrace. Ammunition is limited, so save money!”
