The year is 2056, and George Orwell's vision has come true. It had finally happened. An American corporation had gained so much power, had bought so many politicians, had enslaved enough of the Third World, that it could openly declare itself the New World Order and federal government of the United States. An endless campaign of propaganda and the illusion of prosperity had made the transition easy amongst the largely fickle and complacent population of America. Resistance was easily quelled by overwhelming force, both military and propaganda, mostly enforced by their elite paramilitary shock troops, the Genesis Peacekeepers, known as "Rubbers" to most for the rubber gas masks they never seemed to take off. Any who opposed Genesis were considered anti-Americans and terrorists. It wasn't long before speaking out against Genesis America was a crime punishable by death. The Genesis Corporation's hold in America was a strong one, but there were those who saw through the lies, scapegoats, and patriotic propaganda. Anti-Genesis sentiments were growing, mostly because of movements led by two men, Luc Meyers and Derek Spencer. Two years ago, they had attempted to stop the execution of Rolan Spellman, a popular freedom-author of various anti-Genesis essays and pamphlets, but had failed. They hadn't had any real plan or even the slightest idea how they could stop it, but they had tried and it earned each of them both the title of hero amongst the rebel world, and villain amongst the Genesis followers. They weren't looking for fame or power, but they got both. The Freedom Movement needed leaders, and they were the most respected of the rebellion. The majority of the population in America blindly followed everything Genesis said. They had been re-educating the population ever since they achived control, and everything since the freedom movements of the 60's up until September 11th, 2001 was obscured, edited, or just plain deleted from history. America was presented to the Americans as a simple, innocent country under attack by terrorism. The fraction of the population smart enough to see through the Genesis bullshit now followed the Rebellion, even if not openly. Derek and Luc were now the leaders of a large force of Rebels who held deep respect for them both. Many of their followers had already given their lives for the cause. =============== SUGGESTED ROLES =============== ------------------------------------------------------------------- ROLE MODEL NAME ------------------------------------------------------------------- GENESIS Genesis Police..................................nsi_swat Genesis Peacekeepers (a.k.a.

Genesis Prisoners...............................virii MISCELLANEOUS Store Owners (Bar owner should be named Mason)..Any Hobos (For the cops to beat for no reason :D )..snake/junkie ============= USING THE MAP ============= POLICE STATION The police station has many usable parts. The interrogation room can only be opened to the prisoner by a button in the interrogator's side of the one-way mirror. The elevator usually works fine, but sometimes if two people try to use it at the same time, the doors can get out of synch, so there are buttons on the top and bottom floors to open the doors on that level to get them back in synch if that should happen. The jail cell is used by opening one door at a time and closing it before opening the second door for the prisoner. This is to make sure that no prisoners get out while you're letting a new prisoner in or taking one out. There is also an Illegal Contraband Incinerator, also, which is easy to use. Simply command the prisoner to drop all weapons onto the conveyor and press the button. The weapons will be destroyed forever! There is also an armory with different guns to arm the Genesis Police and Peacekeepers. MASON'S BAR Some cool stuff in here, but nothing amazing. The door always opens outward so that it can't be blocked accientally or on purpose with the pushable chairs, sealing it off forever. There is a simple dartboard that you can throw "darts" (throwing knives) at. And, like any good bar, there is a beer tap that moves and makes a pouring sound! OH THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL! KWIK-E-MART Pretty simple. No usables. SLEEP EAZY MOTEL Also simple. Just a two-room, dingy motel with a check-in counter for the motel owner to sit in. And I know a bunch of people are going to be saying, "OMG RIPOFF! HE STOLE TEH IDEA FOR TEH SIGN WITH LETTERS MISSING FROM 5AM'S 'HOTEL HELL'!" I did NOT steal that idea from 5am! I stole it from the SIMPSONS! Get it right! GENESIS WORKSTATION The big, unenterable, sinister-looking, dark glass building across from Mason's. It's only there to vandalize, so go nuts! You can smash the windows and, if you do enough damage, set it on fire (though the fire effect isn't too convincing.) And if you destroy the right window, something very "entertaining" happens. UNDERGROUND PUNK CLUB This is the general hangout of the Freedom Movement rebels. It's whereabouts are unknown to Genesis, since anti-establishment music and anything else that opposes Genesis is outlawed. The only usable objects in the punk club are the mics. They change the current song playing to a different one. PARKING GARAGE Not much except for the two Genesis Corporate cars. If you shoot them in their most flammable area, they will burst into flames like any good action movie vehicle. They burn for 5 minutes before burning out. The garage also has a sewer access that leads to the park. THE PARK The park has some features like a Genesis Humvee with a machine gun mounted on top, useful for roleplaying Genesis massacres of peaceful protesters. The huge Genesis Logo on the fountain can be pushed down and broken, which should piss off the Genesis Police pretty good :). Every three minutes, a high-level Genesis executive will drive by in his expensive sports car and litter into the park. There is a way to play eco-terrorist and take his polluting ass out. ******************************************************************* * CREDITS * ******************************************************************* This map is dedicated to the memory of Jason Enos, a.k.a. "Tony Danza" 1983-2002 Special thanks to exploited, a.k.a. luftwaffle, a.k.a. Luc Meyers (Jason's brother) for all punk-related aspects of the map. Keep on shining you crazy diamond! PREFABS Freddy Kruger (bench) Michael Kubilis (explorer) xKinetiCx (HMMWV) Slasher (m60) Hyperion Glint (toilet) Mark Potnick (treefab) Bladerunner (bmw) TEXTURES I used mostly default Half-Life textures and custom textures, but I did borrow a few from the cstrike.wad because Half-Life has NO urban textures of any sort. ******************************************************************* * MISCELLANEOUS * ******************************************************************* I know that I'm gonna get shit for "ripping off all the other maps who also have jails, gun shops, bars or convenience stores." But to tell the truth, I had all the ideas for those things long before playing any maps like nocredit or devil or streetwarsb2. After my plans were laid out for the map, I played those maps and knew that I was going to have problems from people who don't understand that it's possible for more than one person to have the same good idea. That being said, I want the AHL roleplay scene to grow and flourish so I don't really care if people borrow ideas from my map for their own AHL roleplay maps, just don't blatantly rip me off, like making something EXACTLY like I made it or just decompiling my map and copy/pasting whatever you want. This map is free, so if you charge money for it, be sure to send it to me so that I can put it where all money rightfully belongs, in MY pocket. Drugs, whores, and DVD's are expensive, dammit.
