It also has a few of the same pitfalls, with one object in particular that looked like a glass block in the back of a truck which was supposedly made of meat? No idea what that was meant to be.Īmbience is good throughout with plenty of ambient noise in the background and no area comes to mind that was completely silent. Texturing as again fairly basic which fits the bill nicely given the simplicity of a lot of the environments. Another vending machine where the buttons jump outwards towards the player when pressed.A toilet with a flush handle that rotates in the wrong direction, away from the cistern.A vending machine full of cockroaches that appeared to pull me towards it where I assume it was intended to push the roaches out.There are a few instances of what I assume a prefabs that have been flipped and don't behave correctly. There are only a few parts where the brushwork is a little obscure, making it hard to discern what a particular object is supposed to be.

The architecture throughout is basic, but in a classic sense that fits the Half-Life theme really well. If there is a genuine end point to the map, it needs to be signposted better.

I found barney but from that point was given no sign as to whether I needed to backtrack or the map simply ended there? In the end, I just closed the game. This meant that later engagements had to be approached carefully and executed flawlessly in order to survive. I played on hard and for the most part I was sitting around 25 HP and 20 armour. As the maps progress you start to take on larger and larger squads in more open areas, with smaller groups appearing in claustrophobic hallways towards the end. Too often you see the player taking on large squads with only a crowbar and pistol. This is the best way to handle gruntfest maps while your loadout is a little light.

I loved how it started out with the player largely having the upper hand, with the first handful of grunts being caught unawares. This is a really solid little gruntfest map pack, it has to be said.
