Bootleg Squadrog

for Opposing Force

“Bootleg Squadrog, sir. It is not about individualism. It is not about cowboy heroism. It is about being one cohesive unit. The only identity I have is that of a group identity.”

You are sent on a mission to recover Gordon Freeman, but as expected, things don’t go according to plan.

At least you have an escape route planned.

Go get him soldier!

You find yourself in a large cell. Time to break out me thinks!

Then, work your way through the prison complex and eliminate anybody that stands in your way.

DeceptionVille – Map Labs Test Tube #17

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

Out of the grave comes this never-used Ville theme! Once again I’m glad to partner with Map Labs to bring these new mapping challenges to life.

Here is DeceptionVille, where the mappers were challenged to make a map wherein something isn’t what it first seems.

This is the first challenge of three in the Hammer Cup 2022 – stay tuned to see the standings and the results of the next 2 challenges!

As always, if you’re interested in learning more about Map Labs and maybe even participate in their upcoming challenges, visit the Map Labs Discord.
