Crowbar of Time

for Half-Life

A couple of maps based on Legend of Zelda : Ocarina of Time

Author’s note: “You play as Link (Or whatever you choose to name him in the beginning) And these maps I have re-made follow the basic introduction storyline to how Zelda starts out. Link is awoken by the great deku tree and set forth on an adventure to free the deku tree from the evil spirits within it.

Before he can do that, he must explore his forest home in search of a weapon and a means of defending himself. While exploring, link is free to do anything he wishes. There is no time crunch. Only catch : You can’t leave the forest.

Because I cannot code I could not achieve some of the effects or enemies I would have liked to implement. Fog would have been nice. [Damnit highlander] But I did try to put a half-life-esque twist on everything.”

Hypnophobia

for Half-Life 2

“It’s the night that lasts forever. You’ve just found a way back into the winding non-euclidean streets of Insomnia City after after a long soul search in the great white void.

Time is running out and so are options. Enemies are closing in on all sides and everyone’s waiting for the inevitable.

This is it, the beginning of the end. Every question about who you were and why you’re here is irrelevant.

All that matters now is survival, and what you will become. Paranoia has taught you much, but it’s time to move on, on to orders of time and space still stranger.”

You and one security guard and perhaps a scientist.

Can you save the others though?

Freeman

for Half-Life

You start in a large, bland room. Collect your ammo and HEV suit and let the action begin!

This is a “player’s” mappack.

Basically, it’s all about the gameplay. The layout and design is not meant to be real at all.

You just have to fight army grunts and keep going forward.

Aberration

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

” You play as a Resistance member who finds himself in a mysterious place with no idea how he got there.”

Explore carefully as you never know what might be around the corner.

Keep your wits about you as nothing is as simple as it seems.

Avenue Odessa

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Colonel Odessa Cubbage needs your help.

Together you can escape the city by train, but you must work as a team.

Don’t relax too soon though, because things have a way of catching up on you!

This is an updated and extended version of the map that was submitted to the CityStreetsVille mapping challenge.

Lost in Transmission

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

“Gordon and Alyx are on their way to Eli’s lab.

Something goes wrong while you’re being transported…

Search the ruins to find your way back.”

Author’s Note:” This map is unoptimized and contains quite a few particles. This might not run well on lower-end systems. I apologize for any framerate drop that might occur.”

This map was entered into TWHL’s Competitions 33: Floating Island.

HunterVille

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

HunterVille is the current mod in The Ville Retrospective event.

Here are all the entries for my HunterVille mapping competition. I would like to thank everybody who entered.

I consider it a HUGE success and as you will see when you play the maps, the quality and ideas were truly amazing. I had real trouble picking a winner and I suppose in many ways, that’s a great position to be in. I feel some pride in thinking that my competition has encouraged the mappers to make and release these maps.
