    Phillip says Avoid It!

    I quite like the start where you had to worry about setting off the alram without knowing how many guards there where around, although after that it went down hill.

    The visuals certianly could be imporved and the drive was less than fun.

    Overall, for such a large file size I expected a lot more, at least you have been warned.

    Promising start but ends badly.

    I liked the idea of the beginning but not how this one worked.Try being in a rooom when the helicopter comes.You get locked in.After that as Phillip said it goes downhill.Kinda dark and hard to see where you are going etc.I cant recomend it.Hopefully it evolves into something good.

    Maybe?

    This map/mod is much better than some recent releases. It’s worth 3 stars methinks because it does start well but then loses it’s way.
    The author has talent and should be encouraged.
    The drive is too dark. More light and it will be fun. A helicopter turns up and then goes away! We players like to shoot them down. I did not understand the point of the locked room. I just reloaded and did not bother with it – very frustrating.

    Shouldn’t this be in the ep2 category?

    Maybe?

    This ran fine when I stuck it in my Ep2 maps folder. I didn’t get to drive the buggy, though–maybe I just didn’t try hard enough (when I’m being shot at, I tend to run).

    The mapping wasn’t perfect, and the helicopter didn’t make a lot of sense. I thought it blew up when I played (and I played that part twice, since I went the wrong way and died the first time). I didn’t get stuck in a room, but it is kind of silly that you can just stand behind a wall and not get hit. (Hmm, that argues both for and against fully collapsible environments.)

    It’s worth playing if you want something to do, more than some of my “Maybes”.

    I don’t get all the bad ratings, I had fun with this map. I love the setting, and the architecture is great as well.
    The gameplay is pretty fun in my opinion. Fighting through Combine, taking out a Hunter-Chopper then going on a very fun joyride with the buggy. The buggy ride is not only fun but rather cinematic as well (such as the giant rock falling). I also had some fun at the end with the Elites. It even has a story!
    There are two downsides I can think of, one being the doors lock after they close for the first time so I had to noclip through one. The second is that there were some missing textures but that could just be me. Overall, this was a fun assassination style map and I do in fact recommend it. I think the author has talent and hope he makes some more HL2 maps.

    Lots of ERROR in the map. Over before it starts. Not really worth the download.
