A short single player map, where Gordon is separated from his rebel teammates and has to fight his way through a Combine controlled apartment complex.
You encounter a variety of enemies and have to be careful of any open areas.
Welcome to the very first (hopefully of many!) Black Mesa Mapping Challenge.
This release features 9 maps, each based around the theme of “What’s behind that door?”.
Mappers had to create a map that used a previously locked door from the retail game.
Unlike standard Source mods, this release features a special way to install the maps – don’t worry, it’s not difficult, just different. This is due to the game itself, not something I have changed. There are text and video installation instructions.
GO PLAY IT!
This has been updated to version 1.2 – see below.

Your objective is the F-15 hangar.
To get to it you need to pass through a number of aggressive obstacles.
Reaching the hangar is only part of the battle, getting inside also requires some thinking.
Good Luck, Freeman.

There’s been a revolt at the South Pole!
The elves have taken Santa Claus hostage and are making outrageous demands.
If you don’t rescue him, the Christmas could be cancelled forever.
Think of the children!
Save him.

You are stuck.
Stuck in a room with no obvious escape.
That is until you realize you can remotely control a manhack.
Use the manhack and external cameras to release yourself.

Starting in a small room, you need to work your way to the extraction point on the roof.
You will encounter plenty of Combine soldiers, and a few dropdown turrets, a hidden panel and one zombie.
Don’t worry about the screaming girl; you can’t reach her – or can you?

Half-Life: Crowbar-Deep in the Dead is a complete re-imagining of the first episode of DOOM (1993), taking all of the original levels from Knee-Deep in the Dead and remaking them in the style of Half-Life and its many expansions.
Take control of Dr. Stan Blazkowicz, a Black Mesa engineer thrust into a fierce battle for survival as he fights off hordes of aliens and military troops, shooting and blasting his way through some of the most iconic levels in FPS history. Will you live through this alien hellscape long enough to see tomorrow, or will you be just another body strewn about in the ruins of Black Mesa?
Note: this release is a demo including 4 playable maps. Unfortunately the full version of Half-Life: Crowbar-Deep in the Dead is now on indefinite hiatus.

The latest Map Labs challenge is Back on Track, where the challenge was to create an interesting way to have the player backtrack through an area or even the entire map – a classic map design pattern. Yep, somewhat in the vein of BackTrackVille but certainly its own challenge. (But the next full Map Labs challenge is a collaboration with us here at RTSL, so keep your eyes out for that!)
This time there were a whopping 19 entries (including bonus maps, and a fantastic background map). Enjoy!
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!
