The NewBlackMesaVille theme was pretty simple: Create a map with the feel of Black Mesa but try to make it seem new with new textures or just interesting layout.

This map was the only entry into the NewBlackMesaVille mapping competition. A few others promised to send entries, but circumstance got in the way. They all promised to release their work at some point in the future.

I have included more screenshots than I would normally for a map this size, because I took a good look around and wanted to record all the intersting points.

Be warned, there is no “actual” combat.

Miigga takes you on another puzzle and action journey.

Timing is important in this map as is your ability to kill and keep moving.

There’s no time to look back and enjoy the view.

Starting in a stairway and corridor, you just have to slowly work your way through the building.

Beware though, alien enemies are constantly appearing and making you life difficult and those army grunts aren’t too friendly either!

Can you reach the outside?

The teleportation device is malfunctioning and you keep getting sent to random locations.

All you can do is try to survive long enough in the hope of getting home again.

Trust no-one and kill everything that stands in your way

Starting in a small warehouse, you must use the large elevator to descend the lower levels.

Stopping at each one to extract any useful equipment and kill the soldiers.

The last one has a small surprise. Good Luck!

You need to escape, but you also need to work together. Are you a team player?

Well, it’s time to find out.

Follow the on screen text and see the choices you make change the outcome, or at least the ease with which you play.

Pay attention – things are more complex than they might first appear. Intrigue, subterfuge, and mystery predominate. An ancient machine tainted with human technology, guarded by a vicious pack of Nihilanthi aliens. There are few answers, but many questions. Will they ever be resolved?

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.”

You start as a worker on a fuel line, fixing some pipes, working on some kinks; you know that type of stuff. When the next thing you know, a rival company has hired a small ‘faction’ of troops to come in and collect the data from the mainframe(s). Your objective is to stop them using whatever means necessary! Even if it means destroying the mainframe! You can’t let this data leak!

After escaping with the scientist in Rescue 9-1-Freeman you find yourself with him dead and no where else to go but forward!

This time, you are intercepted by an old friend and that’s when things get a little tough.

As always, keep going and kill everything that is in your way.

Your objective is to reach the captive scientist and escape with him.

Of course, there are a lot of obstacles in your way.

At one point, stealth is required, otherwise your mission will be compromised.

Some scientists and security guards escaped the Black Mesa complex. Knowing the Administrator lived nearby in an outlying bunker complex, they decided to take him out. You only heard about their plans later and have to catch up to them. You also have the codes to access the Administrator’s complex. Contact with the scientists has been lost, it is now up to you.

A collection of 6 maps that start off with a scary feel and move more into standard Half-Life 2 atmosphere.

Things can be pretty tricky, so save often or be brave – it’s your choice.

Good luck.

Half-Life Back In future takes Gordon Freeman back to the Black Mesa 3 years after the “incident”.

His mission is to find crystals on Xen and send them back.

A scientist will teleport you to Xen

“You are William Nicholas Alexander Raskolnikov Myshkin Freeman (yes, “Bill Freeman” is really Russian, bet you never knew that) the hardened Communist and pot-head (see Theme Song). You have infiltrated a secret base of the evil capitalist pigs who are trying to take over the world. Your cover job as a research scientist at the Coke-a-cola/McDonalds/USAF joint research centre has given you access to the devastating new technologies being developed to enslave the world.

Two scientists talking. Sounds like they are talking about you.

You seem to be stuck on the wrong side of a radiation door.

Can you find your way through Black Mesa and escape?

Author’s Note: “This is my first level for Halflife. The reason its called 101 Grunts is because their are 101 grunt enemies in the level. There is also 4 Assassins and some gun turrets.

Author’s Note:“Mark 2 is a vague sequel to my Quake map Assassin, in that you play an assassin in both. In this one you’re off to kill several scientists (as everyone likes slapping scientists round the head with a crowbar). This level features an awful lot of puzzles, and it taught me that people either love or hate puzzles. Nobody thinks they’re just ok.”

You start off in your bedroom and a noise alerts you.

You are kidnapped and then forced to fight your way through the research facility.

Be careful, enemies are stronger and not everybody is as they seem.

You play a Russian scientist, Ravil Unisovich, who unwittingly unleashes a plague of monsters after an unsuccessful experiment.

Sound familiar?

In this, the first of 4 mods, you simiply need to escape the research facility, where you started everything.

“One of Gordy’s alternate adventures finds him in the company of a small group of scientists and a few barneys holed up in a cement bunker deep within the bowels of Black Mesa. It is shortly after the resonance cascade and as all hell breaks loose around them, they seal off the few exits, determined to work on solving the mess they’ve gotten into.

The terraformation of Xen has begun. The planet now supports a breathable oxygen-nitrogen atmosphere and earth-like gravity. A scientific facility called the Xeno Project has been set up on the planet for continuing research into portal technology. Tension on the planet is running high due to the secrecy surrounding the project and the military’s distrust of the scientific community.

You are Gordon Freeman. Your mission is to report to the underground test lab at the Xeno Project.

This is the beta release of an unfinished mod. Since this will never be finished, Adam gave permission for it to be released.

There are only two maps and the second one is just two small areas.

My original post had many more screenshots, including outdoor areas with trains, but these are absent from the released files.

Finding yourself within the catacombs you decide to look for a way out (As if you had any other choice!)

The way is perilous and Indiana Jones could be around the next corner!

Don’t be afraid of the dark corners, only your fear limits you.
