(the release date in the video is before mw2 came out, its also the reason for the delay)

Credits: myself, and the great people at Valve for providing the look that I stive to achieve.

Thanks to Half-Health for helping to play-test and helping me learn how to map.

YOU MUST HAVE EPISODE 2 TO PLAY THIS MAP.

There are still a few FPS optimization errors but please bear with me: this is my first release map.

[Plague Nexus]

No problem with the mapping help, just wish I had been more helpful about all that optimization stuff :P

[Matsilagi]

Good map well, i cant give a score, because its soo much for one post.

[Apollo661]

Thanks for all the support everyone. I have a few new projects in the works as a follow up to this map here. Heres a screenshot of one of them:

Wow amazing map, it really looks great and looks like an official HL2 DM map from Valve. Also is this your first release? If so damn fine job, damn fine.

I dont get what you mean with that but w/e dude, my EP2 DvD got fucked up, so I'm gonna wait till I get some cash or for the Orange Box to get cheaper :P

What i mean is Steam had a fantastic deal on episode 2 a few weeks ago for like $5.

The problem is that I dont stick to my pc 24/7 and sometimes I miss the nice deals :(

[EdiblePlastique]

Am I really the only one who noticed the Lost reference?

[Sirdownloadsalot]

I have a problem :/
The lighting for me is ALOT brighter then you'r video shows. ALOT. BLINDLY LIGHTED.
And that watch tower (the combine one) Has a purple tone :/

Anyone else experiencing this?

[CaMpEr_DoOd]

I can see myself posing on this map.

Maps with no icons annoy me.

Yeah I'm getting this problem.

[Apollo661]

purple checkerboard tone? if it is then that means you need to do a build cubemaps. I don't remember placing any cubemaps around it. I will for the version 1.4 If you have a problem with the brightness just turn on your HDR override in gmod and turn it down, again for version 2 I will be changing the HDR substantially.

for version 1.4 I am going to fix the bugs that everyone has found as well as the ones I've found as well.

Does anyone want a gmod deathmatch arena with buildings and obstacles in the center of the arena?? Speak up because if I get enough requests I will make it. If not I have other maps to finish.

Okay, Thank you.

[Biscott]

Woah nice map.

First post

[woolio1]

Well... I can see someone's a fan of LOST. Especially the Dharma Initiative, as indicated by the big white Octagon in the middle of the map.

I'm not a fan of lost, I haven't watched it in years. Any similarities is purely coincidental. The show was too much to keep track of so I lost interest in it (no pun intended).

[Half-Health]

That lost reference is from Half-Life 2 Episode 2 in the missile silo when you meet Uriah

[pbplayer]

I like the obstacle DM map idea.

[Spartan One]

I tested it, and this is going to become one of the maps I play on every day I get on Garrysmod. Great map!

[Fribox]

Defiantly one really well done map.
Amazing look too. could be a pretty good DM map.
Nice work.

OOOOH now I get what you are saying. Its been too long since I've actually played the episode 2 campaign all the way through.

Thanks for all of the great comments and downloads everyone! I am going to have to outdo myself with the next map I make. *runs off and boots up Hammer*

WOOOT! FRONT PAGE OF GMOD.ORG!!!!!

I never would have thought this would get on the front page. wow. Thank you everyone.

I found problems common with decompiling maps. Decompiling a map, and using it in your map, and claiming it as your own is highly disrespectful, and disgraceful. Not only that, these problems can crash a persons game. You should be ashamed. Proof is below.

so you have found some errors with the vvis and it has GOT to be a decompiled map because the vvis is screwed up, right. Or it could simply be the fact that I had to run vvis on fast because it kept crashing on normal settings.
