The Map Labs team keeps cranking out quality mapping challenges. This time they approached me to ask about a crossover challenge and I suggested a sequel to the namesake contest RunThinkShootLiveVille. That was a fun challenge to run and play, and some memorable maps were entered.
So for this first crossover with Map Labs, the theme was to make a map featuring the sections Run, Think, Shoot, Live – in any order.
The challenge recieved 12 entries and 2 bonus maps, here they are!
This clever Map Labs challenge was a partnership with the great folks at Lambda Generation. Here was the challenge:
Imagine this: Your friend is too lazy to play Half-Life. They tell you that they’d rather experience the games in an abridged form of some kind. A little annoyed, you walk back to your desk and start creating just that.
Take a chapter from any Half-Life game, and make it WAY smaller. That’s the challenge! Half-Life: Abridged.
The challenge recieved a whopping 22 entries and 3 bonus maps! Here they are, enjoy!

You are Captain Tony Snyder, a former member of the Navy Seals, and just joined “The Savior’s Order” (T.S.O.), a top-secret military organization specialized in espionage, sabotage, infiltration, you name it.
Since you’re the new guy in T.S.O., you’re getting a simple mission for now. T.S.O.’s informants have been talking about a headquarters of a yet-unknown terrorist group. The headquarters are located in Poland, but the T.S.O. is still not sure where the group originated from. Your mission is to infiltrate the headquarters, and gather information about the unknown terrorist group. Of course, since you’re the new guy at T.S.O., Agent Six will be assisting you in your mission. You will meet Agent Six near the entrance to the headquarters. Good luck.
Note: this release comprises the first mission of Half-Life: WAR, which is still in development.

You find yourself outside a marine research facility waiting for rescue.
Unfortunately, things don’t go according to plan.
You need to try plan B, and maybe even plan C!

Map Labs put an interesting spin on the main challenge #7 – entrants had to select 5 grid spots in a row from the grid below for the framework of their map. The grid combines settings, setpieces, and map objectives with some bonus challenges for some spice.
The result? 14 new maps, and 2 bonus maps for you to enjoy!

Ever wanted a relaxing Half-Life map just to chill in? Here are 2 meditative-type maps (sunset and night settings) allowing just that. There’s a bit to explore and you can sit on the chair or couch if you like.
There’s even an Xash3D-specific map included if you’re into that.

“A teleporter mishap deposited Gordon deep within Black Mesa’s engineering levels.
Unfortunately the high powered machinery was acting as homing beacon for incoming vortigants.
Can Gordon find another teleporter before it’s too late?”

An abstract experience, a city street event, a re-imagining of the original Blast Pit, a Combine base which will require all your skills, a rebel base that has been attacked, a giant water puzzle, a blocked train, a dark & scary nightmare and a bank heist with a difference.
These are what awaits you in this first of a kind release – all the winners from the 2015 mapping challenges.
Get you snacks ready, cancel your appointments and get comfy. These maps will have you transfixed for the next couple of hours.
Enjoy!
