Cenodrome: The Lost Sub-Basement of TWHL Towerfor Half-Life
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.

Rejectfor Half-Life 2
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!

Quite a small arena where the enemies, Combine soldiers and Combine Elite, spawn at one end of the area and simply run towards you.

It’s close combat in a rectangle room.
