Area 17

for Half-Life 2

Fight your way through an unfinished and shockingly lit early map.

Remember, this is from 2004, so do not expect anything amazing.

Mappers were still getting to grips with how things worked and what was possible.

That said, this is still pretty basic and badly designed.

As it turned dark, you got too drunk to even stand up and so had to lie down in Danny’s bed. You fell asleep… and woke up at midnight only to find the door locked… which is when your ordeal begins.”

Ispitatel 3

for Half-Life

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

Here is an unfinished mod by the Letkyx team. In August 2004 source files of this project (more than 50 maps, new textures, models and sounds) were totally lost after hacker’s attack and so the project was cancelled. Recently one of Letkyx’s members decided to upload some of the remaining files. It’s not a fully working mod: to play you must load maps manually, using the console. Many other features were also sadly lost.

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.
