Railway 21

for Half-Life 2

About “Built for TWHL competition 21. I hope it complies with the rules. The map doesn’t have any particular story. It’s your typical detailed HL2 city with a slight combine theme. Performance isn’t meant to be great, so beware! NPC behaviour hasn’t been 100% tested due to lack of time.” Reader Recommendations Avoid It! Think… Read More

Sandscroll

for Half-Life

About Author’s Note: “This map takes place in some sort of Egyptian tomb, where you will find combat as well as some little puzzle solving. It’s longer than Vilcabamba and better designed IMO. Custom textures by me, so I apologize if some of them look cartoony. Enjoy the map.” Reader Recommendations Avoid It! Think Twice… Read More

Fallout Vault 7

You seem to be on a train or plane. Things begin to shake – something is not right.

There is only one way forward.

Good luck!

Paranoia Abstract

for Half-Life 2

The author describes this map as a “strange and hostile world where survival means fighting, fleeing, or both. Preferably onto a train.”

The map contains M.C.Escher designs and is not called Abstract for nothing. Expect to jump between various locations with no rhyme or reason.
