Pro's: -Gruntaction par excellence ;) -Quite much weapons+ammo for such a tiny map -A few scripts Con's: -Unfinished, even though it's an old map -Less enemy+weapon types -Poor level design, but some nice lighting (okay it's very old but still..)

It's a challenge, all right. Until a point where I've pushed every button I could find and still couldn't get in the room with the scientist and 2 buttons, so I noclipped. Perhaps it was a bug, since I've looked around a little while noclipping and couldn't find anything else to use. Piledriver describes it pretty well. And this one, unlike others, lets you know when you've finished, so two thumbs up! Worth a play.

It is an area full of grunts, but it's fun! They're well placed and you've got lots of places to duck and cover which means you have to play tactically to win. The maps are fairly detailed though nothing extraordinary. You get around 10-15 minutes gameplay. Overall, I'd say it's great! I don’t know where Poisonheadcrab got that idea from.

Shawn, you must have a problem installation, works fine for me.Single map. Difficult battles against aggressive soldiers in several rooms. Rooms contain buttons that allow acess to more rooms and more soldiers. Find the exit. Textures are a bit grey and plain, but that adds to the grim 'fight to survive' nature of this map. A 'battle of attrition' I think they call it. No bugs. Serious stuff. Playable.

Your own weapons are not accessible as you want them, leaving you to face a squad with shotguns with only your trusty crowbar. Pity, since there are several good set pieces in the first few minutes.
