I'm not always a big fan of darker maps when the flashlight drains out while i need to locate something for an objective but that's just me. the setting and the lighting that the author choose did fit this this was a very well put together map, especially for a first map from the author, well done. enjoyed it.

I was surprised how well done this was for such a small file. It took me a while to find the last battery also. So that was a pretty good little puzzle. Nicely done.

First map ? Wow ! Loved it. Challenging, dark and creepy, plenty of crowbar practice and very well designed for it's intended purpose. Lots of fun ! Where are you now " PantyThief " ?

Then I played it again to see if I could figure it out. The third time, I thought of shooting the lock from a different angle. Aside from that confusion, it was a lot of fun.

Very rarely a game needs the Source SDK or is not listed correctly, but most of the time just check the title and it will say which game is required. It is very, very rare to require more than one game, in fact I know of only two cases of all the mods listed. Yes, the title. 99% of mods have the game that is required to play.

Is there any way to tell in advance if one needs to have only HL2EP2 installed (and not also HL2 and HL2EP1) in order to play this (or other) mods?

For a first map i would say it's exeptional, you really showed that you got some creative skills :P I hope this was just the first part, cause the ending was too abrutly to not be continued ^^ I recommend this map to annyone looking for a fun challange!

The layout I thought was messy and cramp but having a good balance between action, puzzles and climbing routines. Just when I thought the game may open-up it ended, leaving me with the feeling that this is yet another part 1 of a game that won’t be completed. It’s certainly worth a play but as it stands I can’t recommend it as a must play, so play it when you are short of a game. This map was ok as far as it went which wasn’t far enough for me.

In the little that I know here, I think that the lighting and shadowing around your map was brutally brilliant and you proved that you can map. For a first attemp my man, you left my jaw dropped with the level of detail that you put into those maps. Also, this is pretty equilibrated IMHO, the enemies are placed well and it is not in an abusive attempt to make the game difficultier. Appreciated the duct under the floor, the one breakable, with a cover made out of wood, it kinda reminded of some Doom 3 passages (not an insult it actually worked out well, because it must be kind of difficult to map smaller areas like that, and I for a beginner in SDK too, have no clue how to do that, but only small block maps ahaha!) . Anyhow, congratulations on your mod, and keep up the good work!! What you did really represented well the talent that you have and it shows that you must be a very concentrated subject, that efforted well and did a hell of a job (say that in a positive conotation). Cheers! IMHO it was pretty good, and the skills you learnt so far proved pretty useful.

The level design was very good. I would have placed the red light switch near the end against the wall or out of the way. Since it sticks out, the Antlion Guards can't move passed it thus creating a safe zone for the player. Not sure if that was intentional or not. As for that third battery, it took me quite some time to find it. It was really the only annoying part but the feeling of finding it was great. One of those "Why didn't I see that sooner" moments. Excellent first map by the creator and hope to see some future work. I just completed this map ten minutes ago and would recommend it to others. The level design was very good.

I did manage to find the 3rd battery which if anyone wants to knows look for a wooden floor board. Some ceiling tile's that were open i managed to get into or shoudnt have because when i did i saw through the map i went up into the ceilings in these certain places to explore or thought they had a purpose. I was killed once by a antlion king & loaded up an autosave but i got A I Disabled error & played through the map a 2nd time & made through to the climatic battle & exit. Keep up the awesome working looking forward to more or even a continuation. I enjoyed playing through this map it had the right amount of everything in the level & gameplay & setting.

The appearance of the zombies was a little predictable but the quality of the environment made up for it. The last part with the Antlion Guards didn't quite fit but as the author says he rushed that end. Definitely worth playing, let's hope we get more from the author soon. SPOILERS BELOW
