This competition is mostly based on creativity, and not so much in introducing new gameplay features, so it makes sense on why many entries would have excellent visuals and and a distinct aesthetic, but wouldn’t be so fancy gameplay-wise, which to me is completely okay, since it keeps things interesting and keeps you waiting for more.Welcome to the PiratedGames subreddit, talk about pirated games and new cracks! Discord I love seeing how much the map making community has progressed and how many people have taken up mapping, thus continuing the legacy of Source-mod making. This was the first competition I’ve played after a long gap of not playing through many mods or maps, so it was a pleasant surprise. Overall, this is definitely one of the most visually and conceptually interesting maps here, even though it doesn’t bring a lot to the table when it comes to gunplay.

Also the inclusion of soldiers wielding revolvers is interesting, and surprisingly I have never seen it in any map or mod until now. The gameplay is fun and completely combat-based, which shouldn’t be a surprise by now. Each scene is replicated almost perfectly, and I love how the camera and the direction both change depending on the corresponding scene this can be seen in The Grand Budapest Hotel and in 2001, and I can’t express how much respect I have for the author for doing something like this. This entry takes inspiration from a huge amount of films, like Drive, The Shining, Alien and even The Grand Budapest Hotel, which is a combination I thought I would never see in my entire life, not to mention in HL2 of all places. It’s a real shame though, because this was an excellent idea, and with equally good presentation.ĭefinitely the most interesting and “out of this world” entry of this competition. It gets especially worse in the last two levels, where enemies are too far for you to even see them. The camera isn’t far enough to see the enemies, so mostly, you’ll just shoot blindly until you hit someone, or even worse, until you get hit by the lightning-reflexes of the Combine soldiers. The reason I’m saying this is because the biggest problem lies with the lack of visibility you have. When the game is unfair, you get mad at the game. I know it’s meant to be frustrating and difficult like the game is based on, but the difference between fair and unfair difficulty lies in the fact that when a game is fair, you get mad at yourself. Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for the gameplay. For starters, the atmosphere and the lighting are both excellent, prop placement is great and realistic (the places actually feel and look furnished) and these to me are the entry’s strongest aspects.

I really, REALLY wanted to love this level, because I love both HL and HM, but I got so frustrated for all the wrong reasons I just couldn’t bear to give it an “It’s Good” rating.
