Mars 002 – Half-Life 2: Ep2

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

You find yourself seemingly alone in an underground base, probably on Mars.

Explore the areas open to you and see what you can find.

In fact, if you look carefully the base has a few surprises and perhaps even a means of escape.

This was an entry for the SMC Mapping Competition 4.

    Phillip says Play It!

    I enjoyed this but it certainly needed more testing; I got stuck behind some containers and I am sure there are other minor issues. The order of which door opened after what event was never clear, at least to me In fact I had killed everything before I found the weapons room, so that was a little frustrating! That said it’s a nice little map, almost BM in style but not quite, because of the Combine textures and general layout.

    Visuals
    I thought the ligthing was okay, although I am interested to hear from the mappers about this. I particularly liked the central area of the corridor cross. There was perhaps a little too much coloured areas; reds, blues greens etc.

    Gameplay
    Lacking. Sorry to be so blunt but there really was only one large are that was interesting, the rest of the map was 95% exploration, which is great if you enjoy exploring.

    Layout/Design
    As with many maps made for competitions the feel is for something small, in this case it’s simply a few large areas joined with corridors and a lift shaft. Most of the areas don’t really make sense and their use is not clear.

    Summary
    It’s close to being a cool map but falls short, because of the amount and placement of enemies.

    Too empty for me.

    Avoid It!

    Huge rooms, huge long corridors. Of the 10 minutes you might spend on this map, if you don’t get bored to death first, you will spend 9.1/2 minutes just getting from door to door – I kid you not.
    Gameplay, er what game play.
    SPOILER.
    One room with the denizens of Ravenholm and you get to blast a few speed zombies as all the rest get blown up – dunno why, they just did.

    Play It Later

    Was alright, I guess. It’s more of an exploration map, but there wasn’t really too much to explore. For some reason, you get more weapons at the end after defeating all the enemies (at least I think you were supposed to defeat the enemies first). The only part I liked was the lighting and atmosphere. Play it if you really want to.

    Think Twice

    Give me some weapons and something to do, dammit! The layouts and lighting bordered on interesting, but as a playable map it’s poor fare.

    Maybe?

    A pretty good map, but I got lonely before finding something to shoot at… and that was a crate! After all that walking, I need to take a nap.

    I found this map rather boring. It was very difficult to understand what to do.

    Maybe?

    I liked the feeling of being alone in a big base, but too little action for all the walking around I did. I was expecting all hell to break loose between the storage room and space ship. Disappointed. I did enjoy the visuals though.
