CombinationVille

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

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

Two weapons and two types of enemies. That’s it!

What interesting combinations could be created?

By limiting those two aspects of a map, it was hoped that mappers would look for unusual combinations of weapons and enemies and also force the player to think creatively.

Zombie Clean Up

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

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

Author’s Notes: “The original goal of Zombie Cleanup was to create a Half-Life 2 level that uses the crossbow in a unique way.

The overall objective of the level is to kill your way through three waves of zombies using a new and improved version of the crossbow called the !fire crossbow”.
The design of the level is quite simple with four main areas: the starting alley, the rebel house, the two side alleys where the zombies come from, and the storage room.”

Shadow of Breen

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

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

Authro’s Notes: “Shadow of Breen takes place after the events of Half Life 2: Episode 1.

A small group of rebel commandos sets out to destroy Dr. Breen’s broadcasting and propaganda facility.

The level takes place in a narrow canyon located somewhere in an eastern European forest. Play style focuses on action-based decision making with emphasis on environmental cues.

Elements of a scene such as lighting, geometry, sound, and detail draw attention and spark a player’s curiosity (even subconsciously). A central theme in this level is the player’s use of the crossbow (a typically underutilized weapon) to trigger environmental events…”
