This was fun! I enjoyed it. The helicopter fight at the end was a bit hard, but probably because I am a noob :D Also i really liked some of the more unconventional level design decisions you made, e.g. with the fish in the beginning, whom you had to escape, or with the Vortigauns where you have to escape and press the button in the control room. Great work!

Challenging but fun! Nice work

THX for creating, fun to play :-)

Great level design! Well done.

Wow, this one was incredibly underrated! Felt like it belonged not in black mesa, but in an actual retail valve game! Was wonderfully balanced, and was fun as hell!

why did you stop making maps

Exquisite! On balance, but keeps you on your toes most of the time. Map is easy to traverse, but provides it with the caveat of exploration. Perhaps there were some things that I missed, because I was surprised to be thrown straight into action with just a crowbar in my hands, but ended up enjoying it, as that enabled me to think more carefully and even make up some tactics. Environments are finely detailed, found nothing to complain about. Thank you for this short yet immersive experience!

good map !

I really enjoyed this map, it was fun and felt just like a normal level within the half life universe!

Nice Map :D

great map, but the icthyosaur not being able to enter some rooms because of the door seemed unintended
also it was sort of unclear how the entire bottom area got flooded from the one aquarium there
overall a great map and i loved having to engage HECU with crowbars

A rather unique map. The part with the icthyosaur was frightening at first, but its pattern was easy to figure out and frying it with the tesla coil was a satisfying payoff.

Later on, the part with the sentries was designed quite beautifully. A headcrab comes out of the conference room and gets killed by the sentries, establishing both the presence of the turrets and the conference room as a safe location. Ducking behind the conference table allows you to bypass the sentries without a fight, and you're free to use one of the sentries to assist you in the defense section later. There's even a conveniently broken railing to make sure the sentry's bullets don't get blocked.

The only thing I didn't like was the helicopter fight at the end. It felt incredibly tacked on, and there was so much cover that it was barely a threat. Still, overall a very well made map with a few fun gimmicks.

Amazing map is working its 1 i give you steam money for more maps

fantastic map. loved the challenge of the crowbar for half of it and a limited weapon set.

:o

Nice short map. Nothing special, but give it a try.

Yeah ! Nice map !

really cool map!

Awesome map! I love flooded sector!

I like it, keep doing these mods!

Great short map, no issues here, and some very interesting encounters.

Why does my game crash

To be honest, your first map (bravado) was gorgeous. But this one is like a step back.

In any case, an interesting map, though I noticed that everyone likes to make maps with the design of these particular laboratories. There are a lot of them

Man, i forgot that you could fast run. I was wondering, how can people make this damn jump, are you supposed to side strafe or something? I thought. I went to comments and no one was complaining and i was how good are people . Then i ran

Before anything else, Mait, double-check that the console is actually enabled. It should be under Advanced, inside the Controls menu.

...

Good level but the elevator shaft jump needs to be fixed. It took me about 50 times to get it. It was so touchy that I started to believe it was not the way to go. An easy fix and the rest of the level is great.

@Mait661k I don't know what keyboard setup you are using, but for me, tilde has never been on F10. It's to the left of the 1 key, with "~" and "`" on it.

it dosent really work for me the dev console dosent show up when i press F10 and i set it to do that but it dosent work

I did bring the helicopter's HP down to 550 in the last update, which is the same as it is in bm_bravado.

The Apache fight is mainly dependant on difficulty. There's a lot of complicated math involved and I don't know the specific values for RPG damage and Apache health, but it essentially boils down to three things:

1: Base damage of the RPG, presumably unmodified
2: Health of the Apache, presumably increased
3: Difficulty, which modifies damage by a set multiplier for each difficulty.

To cut out the complex math, it boils down to the fact that on Easy you deal 50% *more* damage, and on Hard you deal 25% *less*. Naturally you deal regular damage on Normal.

The point is, both the map settings and your difficulty massively impact the difficulty of the fight.

THat was awsome level man!!!
Heh i died like 5 times on hard mode at the end..

Oh thanks. Just completed the map and it's really good.

@FireFox, Yes, you have to go to Options -> Keyboard -> Advanced and tick Enable Developer Console.

Is there something I have to do to enable console? I cant even pull up the console.

Not bad!

Maybe set it to the default values (3 rockets on easy, if I remember from the main game)? I'm no mapper, and I don't know what sorts of things you have to do to tweak this stuff, but I do hope you try your best to fix this up. It really is a fine, if short map otherwise. But yeah.

I didnt know there was an ammo box near the train for the rocket launcher, my bad, did not check there.

The thing about the chopper's HP is that the difficulty swings are quite extreme in Black Mesa. Like, I think on Easy, what takes maybe 4 rockets takes 10 on hard. It's hard to find a happy medium.

@Smooth, yes, down the stairs toward the windows, was a crate. If you picked up all 5 rockets, you literally stood next to it lol. But yeah it was OP for a choppah.

It was a nice enough map. I liked the underwater segment. The turret was fun too. Like many others here though, I dunno about that helicopter bit. It was a fun idea, sure, and I liked how it looked. But I tried many times to beat it on normal, and I swear one time I hit that thing with all five rockets provided and it still didn't go down! I had to set it to easy mode just to have a chance.
Maybe there was a rocket container I just missed, but even if I did, I feel like 6+ rockets is kinda pushing it when it comes to killing a helicopter.

Very good, I scampered around panicky in the water for a moment, good timing on all the ways to discover how to get through the area. A terrific and quite small map. I did god mode the helicopter, since the rockets aren't guided and you HAVE to wait for them to fly out of range before it will reload, and... well, I died. :D

Now this is me BEGGING YOU to put this map (maybe clean without bodies?) in Garrys Mod. because it's quite pretty :D

really good map

This looks great !

Very nice level. I did not have any problems neither with the fish nor with the helicopter. No cheats or glitches needed to pass this well done level.

black mesa deep end for steam YOU
