Half-Quake Present - Half-Life

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

About

Author’s Note:“Well, this is a small (and I mean small) add-on for Half-Quake Amen. We had the idea to do it because we were all visiting MS and we thought some output just had to be there. Besides, Halfquake had its one year birthday (this mini was actually meant to be released at the birthday, but we weren’t able to do that) and so it should remind all players and fans of the original Mod.”

The Abandoned Workshops Syndicated Review

Gameplay:
Pretty much similar to the full modification, however you play as a different character looking for the present. This time round, it�s a lot shorter but still worth a shot. Puzzles were not reused and has some new ideas which made the map worth playing through. Although there wasn�t anything too special about the map it was fairly enjoyable experience. I quite liked the stairs which was both a challenge and frustrating. The overall feel of the experience missed that of which the modification contained which was a shame, very empty feeling compared to it. There is also a jump puzzle which was very annoying but it isn�t too long at all, so losing interest in that area wasn�t so likely.

Design:
Similar again but a little more basic looking this time. Some areas however were pretty much the same level of design but overall, the structure wasn�t too fantastic. A lot more green was used than usual but nothing too special. I quite liked the design of the maze with the bars that move up and down giving a clue to the shape to be interesting. Other than that, this one missed the feeling the mod had but still has its interest structures.

Conclusion:
A short user map add-on for Half-Quake Amen. Simple design and fairly good gameplay.

How do you install it? Just add it to half-quake amen or make its own directory for it in the half-life folder?
Heyzors 16th September 2006 at 00:34 3

ok. I figured out the installer. Now I am stuck at something else. It’s right after you finsh a maze with invisible walls. You start out on a small platform with the only visible thing is a pointing hand on the ceiling and a voice talking about how the world would fall apart if the sky were to open. If you get to the end of the platform your on (the side the hand is pointing to), something that looks like a large platform that is shaped like something appears on the ceiling. Although, I can’t do anything with it. Any place I go off the platform I start on kills me. Can anyone help?
