Sudden Departure

for Half-Life 2

All of your friends and family left just before the Combine arrived and took over your part of the town. They left you behind for some reason.

You wake up with just zombies and Combine as company.

Fortunately, there is your cousin’s airboat in the yard.

If only you could get it to the canals. You could probably escape that way!

Aether

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

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

You find yourself in a barn, with the objective of getting some Combine plans and then getting back again. “Easy in, Easy out”, as people like to say. But of course, it’s never that way. “Difficult In, even more difficult out”.

Good luck and be sure to really explore, you may find some hidden weapon caches!

Eye Candy – Map Labs Test Tube #8

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

This Map Labs challenge focused on purely visuals – make a pretty map, gameplay optional (and did not count toward the score). This was a Test Tube, so the mappers only had about a week to pull off the best-looking map they could.

This time there were a whopping 28 entries (including a bunch of bonus maps, and adding another 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.

The Red Area

for Opposing Force

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

You start in The Red Area and must make your way to the escape aircraft.

Unfortunately, the aliens and army grunts don’t want you to get there.

Fortunately, you have enough weapons and ammo to disagree, most violently I might add, and do as you please.

Good luck, because this is a tough challenge!
