[...] A Brief Detour [...]
22nd February 2010
This is a nice little map. As bland as that statement sounds, it’s not meant to be. The design and layout is good, the lighting fine and the action fun.
Even though I prefer shorter mods, this one was just a little too short for me.
My only criticism was that the turrets were too easy to circumvent but that’s not a big deal.
All in all great fun for 5 minutes, so let’s hope Uncle Sam makes more and bigger maps.

I wish it were longer

Absolutely my kind of map. Play it now. Really.
Nothing new, no whizzbangs. Just a top notch EP2 combat map.
We can but hope that Uncle Sam extends this great map into something bigger or releases something similar – but longer, please.

Worth ten minutes of your time. Reasonably challenging on normal. As Phillip says the turrets were a bit pointless, but you get a hunter to fight at the end, which makes up for that. If you like hunters, that is, and I do.

Good short map for 10-15 minutes of well balanced gameplay but i will add my sent lightning source wasn’t that good in someplace (to bright) but it was perhaps intended, the metal/base part was a little out of context but if this one was made to give some direction to the author future
in 5 words:
We want more from you…

good fun, but it took longer to download than it took to finish.
I created a video playthrough.

Thanks, I’ve added it to the post.

A delightful little map, I wish it carried on for much longer. “Play It Now” for sure in my book.

Left me with a smile at the end. Hopefully more of this to come!

What there was of this map was ok and played without any problems, but it’s a bit short and shallow, apart from a few sharp exchanges with Combine there is not much to this map and it’s rightly named A Brief Detour.
Ok to kill 5 minutes or so, if it’s a first time effort by someone, then it’s well done.

A really enjoyable piece ! Well designed and polished with nice overall game-play balance throughout. A short and satisfying map. Give it a shot.

AWESOME map. I really can’t find anything bad to say about this.

This short map is definitely worth playing. Why am I not giving it a PIN? I don’t know.
As already stated: more, please.
