Earth soldiers used the teleportation technology gained from the Black Mesa Research Facility to warp into Xen and secure sections of it. Bases were built in the conquered territory, but they were under the constant threat of counter-attack by the native Xen. You were sent to a communications outpost near the front lines, along with a large group of civilian and military workers. As the fighting raged on, the outpost grew increasingly closer to the advancing Xen army. After heavy fighting, the Xen army cut off the outpost from any ground resupply, and any ships coming in were destroyed. The outpost was too difficult for the Xen to take, so instead they were going to starve the humans out. Once the base was cut off, supplies began to run low. A few of the soldiers stole the only way out, the cargo ship, and escaped, leaving the rest, including you, to die. As the supplies dwindled, fighting soon erupted between the humans. The Earth forces soon began a counter-attack of their own, and tried to relieve the outpost and save those left. But as the battle between Earth and Xen raged around them, the survivors in the outpost continued their slaughter... DESCRIPTION This is a smallish map that is good for 2-8 players. Any more will cause the map to degenerate into a giant pistol/crowbar fight on the ground level. This map is mainly a bunch of interconnected halls and stairways surrounding a large open area. The r_speeds never go above 450, and they only reach 450 in only two places. There is a large amount of weaponry spread out throughout the level, but the ammo is placed to force people to move around. It is almost impossible to camp out anywhere. I didn't include all the weapons, since I didn't think they would fit. Snarks, the HornetHand, and the Egon were not included, and there are only one each of the RPG, the Gauss, and the Crossbow.

I've made a bunch of maps previously that all failed because of the usual newbie shortcomings. Since I didn't want to release a substandard map, I never released them, which is a good thing. Don't worry though, I've made every mistake in the book and have finally made a map that does not have any of those early errors. So enjoy! Please email any comments, suggestions, rants, or complaints to me at YakFighter@aol.com or Yak_Fighter11@hotmail.com. I enjoy reading all of it! =================================================================== PREVIOUS WORKS I have made about 40 prefabs that can be found at most major prefab sites: www.nin64.com/prefabland/ PrefabLand prefabs.gamedesign.net/ HL Prefabs www.planethalflife.com/prefablab/ Prefab Lab Yak_Fighter.tripod.com/yfrb/yffnews.html My Website www.halflifefusion.com/laforge/ La Forge (French) =================================================================== COPYRIGHT INFORMATION This map MAY NOT be sold for money without my prior consent This .txt should be distributed with the map at all times This map MAY NOT be used as a base or re-released without my prior consent If this map is part of a commercial product, notify me before it is released
