    Can’t say I particularly enjoyed this one. Would have been nice to have something to fight against and the “Puzzles” were more about finding a button.

    It seems to me that the mapper has technical ability but lacked any creativity. It’s just a few rooms with some hazardous thrown in.

    Unless I missed something, I wouldn’t have given it joint third place.

    Only play if you must play everything.

  2. I have a bug, as soon as I begin to move I get an error message ed_alloc: no free edicts ?

      Lower your screen resolution in game see if that helps.

      1. I’ve got the same problem, but lowering the resolution did not help. However after reading the reviews it appears I’m not missing much!

    I will assume that thiis map ends when the screen goes totally white, after u press a last button in the console.

    i felt this whole map really sober, and here we have another map, where u don’t have the HEV suit at all most of the time and therfore the last seconds you have it is totally useles at all! I really don’t know why if there are so many hazardous parts I don’t have the HEV suit? ios kind of silly, also don’t expect any combat or any big surprses except for a gun grounded tower in one room which is really stupidily placed in one corner and is pretty easy to disable with a button.

    All in all, a sober non combat map.

  4. Think Twice

    Not really sure what the author was going for here. The rooms look alright but there is nothing to do other than run around and press the “Use” key on everything you see. I don’t mind danger maps with threats to circumnavigate but I prefer to have my HEV suit right away to know my status. Only for users with NOTHING else to play

  5. Think Twice

    Possibly the most annoying map I’ve ever tried to play.
    The constant siren, mixed with unobvious puzzles and laggy performance made for a really distressing five minutes.

    I would seriously give this map to terror suspects and tell them they couldn’t go home until they’d finished it… a sort of mental torture…

    Most unpleasant…

  6. Maybe?

    I wasn’t really impressed with this map.

    Yeah, the textures were neat but the map really seems to be lacking.

    I’m also stuck. Hooray.

    Anyway, I’ll give this mod a Maybe because I didn’t get that far and it’s not really a puzzle map.
