This map was originally made for HL2 Deathmatch but due to its nature it is possible to play it in Half-Life 2 or even Garry’s Mod.
It takes place in a drydock and the player has the ability to start certain physics effects.
It can be a resource hog, although being a few years old now most players shouldn’t have much trouble running it.

I found this map by following links via few different forums. It’s amazing what you can find if you just wander around the Net. I subsequently found it over on FPSBanana and Garry’s mod but wouldn’t have known to look in their DM section. I may spend some time trying to find other DM maps that can be played in SP mode.
Anyway, the map seems to have a texture error in HL:2 and I haven’t had time to find out the cause. It didn’t really make too much difference.
Visuals and Sound
This is a very nicely designed map, being outdoors it has plenty of light and generally looks realistic. Apparently some buildings change colour each time you restart the map.
Gameplay
Here’s the slight problem. Whilst it fits my criteria of having one weapon and one enemy, it doesn’t really fit the spirit of the criteria. You need to press some buttons for anything to happen. However, you get to fight at least one headcrab and a Combine Gunship, so I have added it.
It’s more to watch what happens, than actually play anything.
(No discussions about my criteria here please)
Layout and Design
There’s not really much too it but what there is seems well designed.
Summary
You get five minutes of pressing buttons and watching some cool stuff, certainly better than “10 zombies in one room with a shotgun” kind of release.
More action required

Nyko made two other phys_ maps ; all are worth playing at least once
I personnaly love those, it shows a great skill with entities.
You don’t have to press the buttons, however ! In phys_house, I used to destroy it all with the crowbar – really fun, each time different.

This isn’t for everyone, but it is a bit of quick fun. I especially liked the giant magnetic cube. The ship rising out of the water is an awesome sight to behold!

Some might like this, some will not. I did not
This is so odd that I cannot relate this to HL2 so do want to include a recommendation image.
What you see in PP’s screenshots is what you get – some scifi special effects while you stand and watch.
Leave the poor little headcrabs alone.

I was going to post a MAYBE? image, but agree with Jasper, that this will amuse some while leaving others cold. I was one of the latter. I don’t ‘get it’.

very nice scripts, it looks awesome when everything around you gets lifted up into the air
