UPDATED
This mappack has now been updated based on feedback received via PlanetPhillip. I have uploaded both the updated maps and the complete mappack.
Author’s Note: “This map pack is really just group of ideas. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated. Each map proceeds in order. Every map can be played individually, so you can load any map and start with weapons. These maps may have some bugs. You can consult the walkthrough if you get stuck. If you get stuck you can always just load the next map.”

For a simple collection of maps this is great. The gameplay is very balanced, even if the last level is somewhat on the hard side.. It’s not the most beautiful mod I’ve seen, but still a very pleasant surprise… The “jumping around” levels towards the end are a great ides – finally a way to make encounters with zombies or soldiers more thrilling…

The mapping isn’t the best. In fact, it really sucks at the beginning. But it’s amazing at how much the creator increased his skills and also the story is interesting. This mod made me jump far more often than Ravenholm did. I’m not the spooky-type-lover. But yeah, I was scared at some points. Especially when I really wasn’t sure “What the HECK is going on here?”
Very good mappack!

Great collection of maps with great gameplay combat.
The first 7 maps are very good and culminate with a multiple boss battle. The map pack should have stopped there (as I’m sure it did when I played it a couple of years ago).
The remaining maps are previously issued separate maps and probably added as bonus levels as they have nothing to do with the previous maps. The bonus levels are pretty dire.

I really enjoyed this map pack. The thing that bothered me the most about it is that it wasn’t released as a full mod. Since I’ve finally jumped into the crazy world of Source Modding, I’m actually in the process of doing just that. Right now I have the most rudimentary system set up. It allows me to start a new game, save, load, and seems to have the chapter select system working.
I seriously feel that when a map pack takes on the scale that Forward Motion does, it deserves its own Mod, if only so that other people on steam can see when you’re playing it.
So Speckman, if you read this, let me know if you’d be interested in this being done. I’ve only put in the basics for my own convenience right now, but I’d be happy to try to polish it up further.

wow, I already ran into the first game crashing bug caused by trying to run the map pack out of a mod. Okay, fine, so I have a long way to go before this is nearly polished enough to work as a standalone mod.
I still think it deserves it.

I’m loving this mod so far, I’m at the Ravenholm or whatever level, so many nicely made scripted sequences, this has a great potential, even though the mapping isn’t like Research and Development or Mission Improbable, It’s still fine and promising. I give it a Personal Favorite.

I know that there are better mods out there, but I really like this one. Especially second part (scary stuff) – love it!
Grey Acumen – I hope you’ll finish your work on this one
