		<description>I haven&#039;t finished this one yet. I&#039;m a bit stuck on one part. It&#039;s the part where there are 4 levers that light up some things above the door. On the left is a door which a gargantua pops out, and on the right is a door that has a lever that leads to a stash of grenades. i&#039;ve pulled each of the levers that are color coded. How do I get to the next map? 
Thanks for any help.

Cool mapping, good gameplay. Nothing incredible, but fun to play. The one leak is CD music wasn&#039;t used.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the reply Kasperg. I tried to keep to the point.
This minimod looks great. I just play the mods and maps here on PP.
Personally, I couldn&#039;t map my way out of a wet paper bag.
Do you have work in progrees and/or a website?</description>

		<description>Thanks for taking a look! (and seeing where the focus was).
Thank goodness that was the last thing I mapped for HL1 :)  I&#039;m guessing a Source version of this would be very different in terms of puzzles.  Someday perhaps.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Gameplay:&lt;/strong&gt;
Expanding on the release of Kasperg’s &lt;a href=&quot;/posts/vilcabamba-half-life-1/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Vilcabamba&lt;/a&gt; a short series of maps follow with the former include as the first level, making the once short and sudden ending map to a small, yet enjoyable episode. Starting off in the already released level, Vilcabamba, working as an introduction things become very similar throughout each of the other parts doing simple tasks such as pulling some levers or jumping gaps. The action in this one is again moderate and nothing really poses much of a threat except for those Gargantuas. Although there isn’t anything outstanding in this release, it is still an enjoyable set of maps lengthening the story and keeping a steady flow, implementing some interesting elements making the location seem more mysterious.

&lt;strong&gt;Design:&lt;/strong&gt;
Following a similar stucture to Vilcabamba in the other maps, the theme is continue on using similar texture and lighting techniques, with a few outside locations to change the tone of mood. Constructions are tidy and keep things simple in a good sense but the design eventually gets repetitive and lacks variety during the last two maps. Elements such as leaves growing on the side of the brick and rocks emphasis the age of these ruins and add a bit of colour in some places where a mix of yellows and greys are used.

&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt;
Enjoyable gameplay within well structured ruins, good design but lacks some form of variety in the last two maps.

&lt;strong&gt;Rating: &lt;/strong&gt;78%</description>

		<description>Mel,

&lt;blockquote&gt;bend to your better judgement.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
I wouldn&#039;t call it better judgment, just how I want to run my site.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Sorry Phillip but I dont think it was I sarcastic comment, it certainly was not intended to be one, just a comment of surprise that the author had not&lt;/blockquote&gt;
This is always going to be the problem of quickfire- textual communication.  There are bound to be misunderstandings.  And I apologize for misunderstand your reply.  In my defense it &lt;em&gt;&quot;Sounded&quot;&lt;/em&gt; that way when I read it.  But I wasn&#039;t only talking about your reply; there are plenty of others all over pp that are sarcastic.

You then go on to post a fantastic explanation.  Clear, polite and detailed.  A perfect example of the type of content I would love to see more of here on PP.  If the author doesn&#039;t agree well then, that&#039;s his or her perogative to reply in the same way.

&lt;blockquote&gt;It appears that I am under attack, will all intersted parties please read my initial comments #47, I dont think that any snide remarks or veiled insults are within.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
It wasn&#039;t my intention to attack you personally, just use you comment as an example.  I apologize of you took it personally.  I agree that none of your comments contained snide remarks or veiled insults.  Again that was a reference to other commenters.

Your last comment shows that no malice was intended and for that I thank you.

Hopefully this won&#039;t stop you from posting your reviews on PP.</description>

		<description>In no way are my comment meant to discourage any author, with the mini-mod in question the author has obvious talent, the set design and textures within are far superior to many HL custom games on offer. I do understand that a lot of work goes into giving players hours of fun, free fun at that and have said so many times on PP. I can only added that I am sorry if the author was none to please with my original comments and would like to encourage him to continue his good work and build on his ability to design good sets furbished with fine textures.</description>

		<description>I think the last observation about the final boss is valid. I was so tired of the theme it&#039;s actually a miracle there&#039;s a recognizable ending, as poor and dull as it is.

The gameplay is limited, because both my time and singplayer mapping experience were also limited. 
It&#039;s not like this minimod was advertised for a year as the greatest breakthrough in HL history. It&#039;s an expansion of a short map which in turn was a tribute to Tomb Raider. I might have done a poor job in parts of this map pack, but I can see that myself. I&#039;m sorry I couldn&#039;t do any better.</description>

		<description>Ok Phillip I take you point and bend to your better judgement. However you did say &#039;explain what you were trying to say&#039;

Sorry Phillip but I dont think it was I sarcastic comment, it certainly was not intended to be one, just a comment of surprise that the author had not seen the point I was making in my short review. I will attempt to explain in more detail.

Surely it must be more demanding on the author ability to create a balance of gameplay and content within, relative to the duration the game. One of the keys to the success of games such as C to A is the author’s wonderful ability to feed the player challenging content throughout. I was disappoint with this mini-mod, it did not take the opportunity to exploit possible situation offered by the good set designs, I kept ‘E-ing’ the panel images thinking this was a good opportunity to open a secret area, or lead to a new level or just explore. The jump referred too, could have been handle better with the inclusion of an alternative route by way of a triggered passageway or hidden stairway. The near end boss scene was out of place with a poor choice of foe, almost any other choice of combat in the setting would have worked better. The author did not take the opportunity to feed the player content and situations that his set design potentially offered.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I&#039;m not entirely sure why this minimod has been so emotive and I would like to  publicly apologize to Kasperg for the treament he has recieved here.

The following comments are not directed at any commentor in particular, just everybody!

Everybody is allowed to express their opinion but it should be done in a polite way.  No snide  remarks or veiled insults.

Comments like:
[quote post=&quot;3120&quot;]I guess you missed the point.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Are unhelpful and not wanted on PP.  If somebody missed the point then explain what you were trying to say.  Sorry Mel but you seemed to have caught my wrath.

The same goes for all other similar and sarcastic comments, including those of the authors.

I agree with PP! &#039;My Opinion&#039;: It&#039;s wonderful to see experienced mappers doing their best to make a name for themselves and to give us FPS players a chance to have some fun and enjoy new gameplay! &quot;Maybe learn something about the business too&quot;! For all of you &#039;Freeloaders&quot; out there that all you think about is criticism, think twice!
My comments are without malice! Thanks again to all you great mappers out there that bring great enjoyment to ol&#039;timers like me and I must say, some &#039;nostalgia&#039;

Have a Nice Day! From LoneWolf67</description>

I would&#039;ve never guessed a short mod would have less content than a longer one, wow.
By the way, the description says it&#039;s a minimod, not a mod. No game content has been modified at all besides the splash screen! ;)</description>

		<description>I am just amazed how so many reviewers can find so much to say about this mod.   This is a very limited mod, apart from the well constructed sets the gameplay is very limited, combat is, well hardly worth the effort. For such a short mod it&#039;s very empty in content with the end set being too cramped  in design to be worthy of a duel with the largest of all the HL1 foe.</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t remove that comment. I put it in to end this argument. I fold. I retreat. Kasperg is the winner. I am the loser. That is how it goes.

Kasperg has every right to defend his work. I have every right to defend my reviewing. Don&#039;t put the fault on me just because you hate me, Alyria. We both came out of this in benefit. I gave Kasperg advice on what he can do to improve his map. I learnt not to put so much emphasis on storyline.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Yeah, sorry about that jump, Stef. There&#039;s an autosave right before it, so it shouldn&#039;t be too difficult. (I didn&#039;t do any coding by the way! :D Everything is mapping, textures and some complicated entity setups.)

@LoneWolf65: I planned on showing the clock at the end of the minimod to show players how long they took. Unfortunately, the entities didn&#039;t carry through the maps they way I wanted and I ditched the idea. You weren&#039;t supposed to be armed at that stage! lol

@Fluffy: Seems reasonable. It&#039;s just that your comments seem to imply I tried to make a compelling story but failed, which is far from the truth. People don&#039;t criticise normal cookies because of not having chocolate chips! And I never said this map had chocolate chips, so I don&#039;t know why you dissapointed was so great in that sense... :)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

HI kasperg! I was armed because I went back after retreiving the crowbar and pistol! I never cheat...LoL! Like I said, I explore a lot. Cheers!</description>

		<description>Kasperg, please don&#039;t be discouraged from  continuing to visit PP for all that it has to offer.  Phillip puts so much hard work into his site and I&#039;m sure was thrilled to add your minimod for all of our enjoyment.

I, for one, really enjoyed it as I&#039;m sure other&#039;s will too.  It&#039;s a shame that you won&#039;t be doing anymore HLSP maps!</description>

		<description>Phillip, with all due respect, Kasperg has every right to defend his work ... especially if he feels he&#039;s being attacked or berated by Fluffy which I feel is the case.  We all know that Fluffy quite enjoys these tiffs &amp; loves it to know the more he provokes someone.  Fluffy, you know as much as well.  I really feel Fluffy is at fault here, not Kasperg.  That&#039;s just my opinion and only say anything because I feel bad for Kasperg to come to your site only to be treated this way when all he&#039;s trying to do if provide us with entertainment.  

Hey, can we hold Game Court for situations like these upheld with bondafide penalties?</description>

		<description>Fine with me. All I was saying is that people confuse &quot;being a lazy mapper&quot; with &quot;having different priorities&quot;, as the website in my name sort of proves :(

Is there a chance you could remove the part of &quot;*First bug. If you die in the first level, the intro message shows up again...etc&quot; from the map description? That one was fixed in the current version.</description>

		<description>To Kasperg and Fluffy.
I am at work now but will be carefully reviewing all comments made and will remove anything I feel too inflammatory.

I respect both your rights to express yourself and defend your map but it seems to have become more than that.

If you wish to continue your discussion please do so privately.</description>
