Author’s Note: “Hard Hat Required is a Half-Life 2: Ep2 level focused on novel environmental hazards, extensive non-structural BSP use to make up for a lack of usable meshes, and re-use of space.
It was created over six weeks with no modified code allowed, and is my first level in the Hammer Editor.”
“The entire apartment complex is a crime scene, and the player must make their way through three individually decorated apartments in order to survive the scenario. Rich in precise environmental detail, the apartments offer starkly contrasting visual motifs and puzzle-oriented challenges. It’s up to the participants in my study to infer their own stories about what happened in each space and to the individuals who inhabit them.”

Starting out in a cell, a tremor allows you to start your escape.
Find the correct route and avoid the Metrocops if you can (you can’t!).
The maps end at the bottom of the large stairwell in a room with a door that has hall of mirrors effects.

This is an Alpha release of a conversion of Pacman. It was due to be part of the Arcadium mod I was hoping to produce but unfortunately that hasn’t happened.
It was never designed for public release, as all alphas aren’t, but I am releasing it now, with Joe’s permission, so that in conjunction with the post about the mod, it may gain some exposure and hopefully members of the mapping community will decide it’s worth the effort and take the concept further.
I would like to publicly apologize to Joe for letting him down. Sorry Joe.

This map is a Guildhall scripting project, where the player controls a crane and must kill some metrocops and free some rebels.
The crane allows you to pick and drop exploding barrels, and accurately position the drop via a mini screen on the crane control deck

There doesn’t seem to be a story but the objective is fairly clear. Get the HEV suit, find more batteries and use the elevator.
There are two puzzles and plenty of action, which should leave you wanting more.
Reach the vortigaunt for a mini-speech and the map ends.

Starting in a dead end of a square, you need to follow the path to some rebels being held captive.
Of course, there are lots of Combine trying to stop you, so relax, the day is just starting.
The level features non-standard HL2 weapons but no new enemies.

Continue where Escape 1 finished. This time you get more rebel friends and even a rocket launcher!
That’s the good new. The bad news is that some of the mod is outside and it’s dark.
Watch out for those zombies!

CSS SCI FI 3: Hardwired is a single-player modification for Half-Life 2. Waking up to find himself an augmented clone of Gordon Freeman, the player must fight time-travelling Combine forces and other enemies across 42 unique and replayable missions.
Missions are set in 18 retail and 24 custom Counter-Strike: Source maps, which are installed intact to the player’s CS:S game folder. The mod edits the entity data for each map as it is loaded, adding and modifying entities to create a seamless single-player experience. The maps remain unchanged and are fully playable in Counter-Strike: Source. Maps have been contributed by established designers, including Bluestrike, Schuzak and d00ds.com. Combat locations range from a snow-covered country church to a dense pine forest to a sun-baked tropical island.
