Assassin Mark 2

for Half-Life

Single Player First Person Shooter Maps and Mods for Half-Life 1, 2 and Episodes 1, 2 and 3

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.”
