Leon’s Mappack 1

for Half-Life 2

You get extracted in the sewers outside a big city that is controlled by the Combine, although there are certain parts of the city that are filled with headcrabs and other creatures.

You have to find and fight your way through the sewer, over the railroad track into the city.

Once you’re in the city, your objective is to find the power plant and destroy it.

It sounds easy but you will have to fight for your life before you get there.

Freeman’s Revenge

for Half-Life

“Our hero has become very bitter toward the government for sending in the storm troopers to kill every living thing at Black Mesa.

He locates another installation where the government continues experimenting with the world of Xen. With the taste of blood still fresh in his mouth, his path is clear.

His HEV suit, torn and battered, is of no use and he must penetrate the lab complex to get a new one.

If he can blast his way through the gauntlet of enemies, an F-16 sits poised for his escape.”

“All you can remember in a fuzzy haze is everything going wrong in the test chamber. You remember getting out and overhearing a transmission saying some soldiers have come in and are killing everyone and that some scientists and security guards have got hold of a hanger and a plane. They are waiting for more people to come. You then walked on and you can remember a big explosion and the roof caving in then nothing…………”
