Poll Question 064 – Which Half-Life game has the best start?

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

This question contains spoilers regarding ALL the half-life series games.

I recently played Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and was partly impressed by the start and partly disappointed. I’ll discuss each game’s start in a moment but first this week’s poll question.

The Layout – Map Labs #17

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

In the mold of Crossfire, which had a huge turnout of authors using the classic deathmatch map as a basis for their own maps, comes this challenge. The Layout asked mappers to select one of 11 popular multiplayer maps from over the years to form the backbone of a new single player map.

So here’s The Layout, with 9 new takes based on classic map layouts!

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.

What The Headcrab! – Episode 20

Hello and welcome to What The Headcrab! Episode 20.

A few days earlier than a week, but as you probably know, I am off on holiday tomorrow.

This will be the last episode until Saturday 20th August.

I hope you can live without it for that long. Maybe next year, I’ll get some guest host to fill in for me.

As always, there’s a giveaway courtesy of A A Ron from SteamContests.com and news from RTSL.

Anyway, let’s get headcrabing.

What The Headcrab! Episode 19

Hello and welcome to What The Headcrab! Episode 19.

Slightly behind schedule but still packed with plenty of news and updates.

As always, there’s a giveaway courtesy of A A Ron from SteamContests.com and news from RTSL.

The Misc section returns but split into reddit and YouTube, at least for this episode. As with last week, no Half-Life Lore Trivia or YouTube channel spotlight – sorry.

Let’s go!
