Gee… I think this could really use some displacements here and there…
The jungle runners are, as you might guess, antlions. You’re a combine shooting wave after wave of antlions from a fort.
ZZzzzz…
Do you like shooting at fish in a barrel? If you do, you might like this. I got so bored, I shoot my squad mates and finally died in a blaze of glory.
Okay, as you can see from the screenshots that it’s not the most creative never-ending map you will play, so if you decide to try it, see if you can find something special about it and tell the other RTSL readers.

It’s a bland and blocky antlion defense map that takes place in an ugly forest (or jungle, as the map itself calls it for some reason). It reminds me a lot of the map “Snow Mission” for Episode Two, I wonder if “Shizzle” and “Shirk” are the same person. I’m not giving this “Avoid It” because it’s an antlion defense map, I’ve actually seen some pretty decent ones, but this is not well made and it’s very boring. Not recommended.

are you being serious …. this took alot of patience to allow me to run the map for 3 minutes … any longer and i would of been suicidle by the hour mark
im all for the novice mapper and allways like to award better than average recommendations but i couldnt with this map ….. the maps seem to be getting worse each day and its bringing down the site in my opinion …. planetphillip was the place to go for quality maps and mods,however since the name change theres been a significant drop in the quality of maps … is there a reason for this ?
not the best map ive seen !

There’s been no “drop” in quality. What has changed is that I am updating the older maps and mods. Those maps and mods were also on PP, but since they had never been formatted properly, they never appeared on the frontpage – even back in 2005.
I full accept that these maps are not very good, but the stated aim of the site is to list and review ALL the SP maps and mods, not only promote the good ones.
thanks for the reply phillip …. i only mentioned the drop in quality as it wasnt like you to release “drivel” ( the term you used in the last map release ) … that said i really enjoyed “deadly darkness” allthough it was quite hard for such a small map
also the word on the net is that leons last mod “the closure” is close to completion … trust me thats gonna be huge,and in my opinion up there with “black mesa” and “minerva” .. however leon told me in a recent email ( he,s probally also told you phillip ) this will be his last mod( well at least big mod ) allthough he may release some minor maps
thanks again phillip and good luck …. also the new “runthinkshootlive” site layout is slowly growing on me …!
I’m waiting for that day, when i will see The Curse from Leon Brinkmann in this great site.
And i’m happy to see one map per day, good or not so good, You’re very active, Phillip, nowadays
and that’s good!
Congratulations!
Do you mean this Curse: http://www.moddb.com/mods/curse
or do you mean The Closure: http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-closure
Ohh, sorry, The Closure (HL2 Episode 3), my mistake.
I enjoyed Leon’s mods (all of them)
Follow my journey as I go down the list of source mods at http://www.runthinkshootlive.com/hl2/
This is the 11th one on the list.
Endless siege map. Unfortunately this type of maps are a plenty, especially back when HL2 first came out. This one isn’t too good, The antlions get confused and hid behind the trees instead of suicidal rushing like they usually do. There is a combine elite in a tower that none of the antlions have any hope of getting to. As for the rest of the base it took around 20 minutes to get overrun. But it’s way too easy, and I think players WILL get bored fast, most likely even before the base gets overrun.
Even on hard there is no challange, I killed all my team mates to defend for myself and no antilion got inside the base still.
Instantly boring
1/10 would kill my teamates again

Oh God, what a boring map! There is no intensity, no goal, nothing. You have squad of Combine soldiers and endless amount of ammo for your weapons. There is no time limit, which turns this arena into boring crap. There is also tower with one Combine soldier that Antlions can’t get into, and it makes map even more boring.
Overall, BOOORIIIING.
