This map for Half-life 2 is a puzzle/obstacle course style map. The goal is to reach the top and find the secrets to allow you to do so along the way.
This is an obstacle course type map. You start out on the bottom floor trying to get to the top. There are different puzzles you will need to get through, such as finding a switch or something. I stopped working on this map and decided to release it due to lack of interest. I will probably make another one depending if people like it or not. Remember this is unfinished. Here are somethings that I did not fix or add:
- Some areas may look blocky (There is a teleporter outside of the building that is majorly blocky BUT you can see a secondary teleporter that I was working on that never got finished).
- I could never get soldiers to spawn and assault so that idea got scrapped and I changed it into a maze like room. There is also a secondary path that you would have been able to take until I couldn’t get it working so therefore that is also unfinished.
Here are some features that the map has:
- I had originally textured it all one texture until I realized how ugly it was so I changed it.
- It has a total number of 4 secrets that you can find. It will come up on the screen saying you found a secret.

Well, to be honest I gave up after about ten minutes. Whilst I like the idea of puzzle maps I find the repetitiveness too much. Moving crates etc. I also need to confess I couldn’t workout how to progress and had to use noclip mode for the screenshots.

Thank you for your kind words. I have a variety of sources but mostly from the 10/4 forums!
I’m not so sure about the addondb, I think it could become really popular, really quickly. There’s no way one person can beat the community!

Sorry for taking so long.
Well, i played it. And it was a cool idea. But i had to give myself the grav gun just to make it possible (well a LOT easier).
I got to the part where the fence was blocked by unbreakable wooden boards. And i didnt want to go back down and get some boxes. So i just noclipped around.

When to the top of what you see when you start…you need to collect the pistol in the central tower to break those wood plate at the top but after there is a room with barrel where i can’t go…it took me 20 minutres to reach there

Has anyone completed this. I am stuck at the top. My pistol dissappears.
Help!

To be honest i was stop at the same place but when you look to the sceens it seems that you should go to outside the building.

Good question!

There I was thinking a puzzle map would make a nice change from killing combine and zombies.
This map is one of the most annoying things I’ve ever had the misfortune to encounter. I tried playing it without cheating but that didn’t work so I tried playing it in SMOD so I could kick my way through a wall to get to the next part. The next part involves making your way through an invisible killing maze (save your game every move you make!!!) and then the next bit is more of the same! Should you get passed this bit before you’ve thrown your computer out the window then there’s nowhere to go. Noclip to the next bit and you’re left with a text message on the screen. How about some payoff after all that effort???
I hate this map. I hate this map with a passion!

I hate this map! I played it, hated it, commented on it, deleted it, restored it, played it all day…
I used 31 crates in the end!

I reached the top after about 15 minutes, without using cheats. Oly saveload.
I found 2 secrets: the grenade and the wall, that should be broken by it.
What I really hated – is the maze with invisible death walls. Ghrrrrrrr…
There are no hints, to pass them, only luck. And quickload, of course.
Anyway, the map is great! (but too short!) Thanks for it, author.
Do anyone know any maze-based maps like that one?
31st August 2008
I’m glad you like the map. I may make another one, I have made a Portal map though, if you want to try it out. I have also made a second one but I may not be able to find the map.
Oh, and sorry about the maze, I was running out of ideas.
23rd September 2008
Honestly, I don’t like the Portal much but I’ll be glad to try another map for hl2. Hope it will be more difficult to pass through and much longer
Most of the mappers don’t like to create puzzle map for brain, only shooters for spinal cord
It’s pity.
Maze is not bad, but its too long for the quest without clues. Even in the film ‘Cube’ was clues wich helps to find the right way for victims)
Moreover, such triller films could be great source for the ideas: Traps with collapse walls, falling floors, poison gas cameras etc.
Dreams, dreams…..
Well, if you’ll find your second map – let me know)
