Paranoia Abstract

for Half-Life 2

The author describes this map as a “strange and hostile world where survival means fighting, fleeing, or both. Preferably onto a train.”

The map contains M.C.Escher designs and is not called Abstract for nothing. Expect to jump between various locations with no rhyme or reason.

Don’t we have anything original to say?

God, I hope I am wrong but have you noticed how nearly all Valve-focused websites just seem to be regurgitating news?

It’s certainly not my intention to upset other webmasters but when I look around that’s all I seem to see.

Poll Question 159 – Do you expect there to be a new vehicle in Ep3?

I’m not really a big fan of vehicles in games, but I fully appreciate how they break up gameplay, allow players the opportunity to cover large distances etc.

Each vehicle in the Half-Life series has had the environment matched to it. Whilst that might sound obvious it doesn’t always seem to work that way in mods or even in games.

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

This is a cinematic portfolio piece. You and Alyx must support Echo Team in their attempt to attack Outpost 16.

Things don’t go quite the way you or they expected.

You have action and some puzzles to deal with, oh and don’t hang around looking at the beautiful view, if you linger you die!

The Crate Factory

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

Crossbow Platformer

You find yourself on a ship heading towards a small dock.

A Combine Gunship is shadowing your every move and the only thing to do is enter the barrel facility and escape using whatever means you can (conveniently) find.

A simple puzzle mod, with a little action and a brand new gameplay mechanic.

Human Error

for Half-Life 2: Episode Two

The death of the Nihilanth threw the Xenian army into disarray, and the subsequent portal storms stranded many on Earth in the wake of Combine occupation.

After once more having to endure existence beneath the totalitarian boot of their cosmic nemesis, they have searched for a way out. Now, buried in the heart of a dilapidated university, they’ve found it.
