Video games always feature various styles of gameplay. In this challenge we asked mappers to create a map that flowed through 3 phases. See the Theme Details section below for full details.
The resulting maps range from average to fantastic and the different interpretations of each phase is fascinating.

For this Experimental Mapping Challenge, entrants had to make a map that lasted just 72 seconds, but they only had 72 hours to make it!
A lot could happen in that time, so don’t think it will be easy.
In addition, you might need to learn the correct route, actions or sequence before you can actually finish it.
There are 12 official entries and 1 bonus entry for you to play.

Cenodrome is a small standalone map made in the mold of the TWHL Tower maps. Put together by regulars at The Whole Half-Life site, TWHL Tower was a collaborative mapping project where each mapper constructed a small floor of the tower, and each floor was joined to others by a stairway. Cenodrome is the long lost sub-basement of that tower.

Ammo is in short supply, so use it sparingly.
In fact, why don’t you use the grenades that the Combine soldiers through?
Find all the switch and reach the suitcase.
They are not easy to find though!

You ARE the deadly cargo!
You are being transported somewhere but foolishly they left a crowbar in your “cell”.
You have waited until the train has stopped and now it’s time to escape.

A nuclear missile’s headed your way. A nuclear bunker is right behind you. But its door is shut.
You have two minutes to find a way inside.
Talk to the people and see if you can decipher their words.

Quite a small arena where the enemies, Combine soldiers and Combine Elite, spawn at one end of the area and simply run towards you.
Regular ammo and health drops from a shute.
It’s close combat in a rectangle room.
