The Citizen Returns

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Set in both the heart and outside of City 17, “The Citizen Returns” contains the final chapters of our citizen’s story, as well as an updated version of Part II.

The story takes place shortly after a failed assassination attempt on Dr. Breen leads to the first ever use of the Overwatch Broadcast system by The Resistance, represented by former garage
owner Larry Soderstrom Jr.

The Combine forces decide to capture him and try to use his public repentance and execution as a means to appease the emergent rebellion.

The Citizens of City 17 however have other ideas in mind. Larry is now a symbol for the rebellion and a key asset in a bigger plot to deal a fatal blow to the Combine and its grip on humankind…

DiamondDogsVille

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

For this competition, entrants had to create an area from which the player must escape.

This “Escape” is most probably accomplished through the solving of some puzzle and/or combat.

The area can be a room, a series of rooms or even outside. The concept is that the player must find a way to move outside of the area.

I was hoping for some clever puzzles, hopefully environmental in nature and not some obscure and impossible to solve button pressing sequence.

This mod contains 3 official entries, one extra entry and a bonus map made over a longer time period.

Sector 6

for Half-Life

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

The helicopter drops you off and right into an ambush.

Get out and kill those soldiers, then work your way through the base.

Plant the C4 and hide behind the couch in the room nearby – THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT.

With luck, you will make it back out alive and back to another waiting helicopter.

Hopelessness 2: The Afterlife

for Half-Life

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

Something has gone wrong in Black Mesa. No surprise there and you need to find a way out. Again no surprise.

However, this time it’s not all run and gun – at least not at the beginning.

Take your time and explore carefully. You may need to use your wits before you can find a weapon.

Good Luck!
