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.”

“The renegade Gordon Freeman is back, and as usual, being hunted by the merciless Combine within the ruins of City17. In this scenario, the Combine have almost perfected a field teleportation device, and mounted it to a modified Combine Scanner. Once the Scanner verifies the location of Gordon within City17, it teleports in a MetroCop to deal with the situation. This fast-paced action-oriented level focused on a new dynamic-flank combat setup to keep the player on the edge of their seat as Gordon tries to escape through the sewer system of City17.”

This was the winning entry in a recent FacePunch.Com mapping competition. Using the buggy, drive through the dry canals and stop when you need to.
Let’s hope you are not scared of heights!

You want donuts and you want them now. There’s no time to waste.
Drive to the Metrocop base around the corner and get 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

You are tasked with protecting some Combine terminals that contains useful information.
Unfortunately, the Combine now know you have access to these terminals and send in soldiers to destroy them.

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!

Starting in a room, you have no idea what is about to happen!
Get on the walkway and all hell breaks loose. Even with plenty of rebels to help you it’s hard to survive.
Can you survive and find Alyx and her waiting Jalopy?

A short map that takes you through some early outdoor sections.
Leads you underground on your way to who knows where.
Make sure you take the gnome with you for that final victory.

“These sewer tunnels are the only route out of enemy territory. Danger lurks at every corner. If you can make it to the beach, you might have a chance…”
