Scientist Run.. Release version 1.0 By Hezus

History :
Scientist Run is one of my old maps that I first trew into the basket because I thought
it was nothing compared to my new maps. Tho the map was 98% finished then, so I started 
patching it up with the skills in architecture I have now. And it resulted in a nice map
that has the quality of the newer Svencoop maps. Origionaly, Scientist Run was the bonus
map that someone could win when he/she found the code in the SvenCoop Hazard Course Beta 2.
It was Freaking Neo who won the map back then when I remember it well..

But for the map itself now :
It contains everything what is asked from the modern SvenCoop map :
Action, Gameplay, Story, Puzzles, Co-op play and fine architecture.

For the gameplay :
There are some nice sequences and monster placements. And I guess the map is
difficult enough to be played with a few people. (5 deaths on Singleplayer)
It offers some Half-life like puzzles. To get trough the door to escape you must
shut down a few systems that are ofcourse all gaurded by aliens or/and soldiers.
To gain acces to the system you must shut down another system that opens the door 
to it. Like in Blast Pit (HL) or Pit Worms Nest (Op4). You do not have to walk long
ways to get to the action because you mostly will be placed in the center of an
area.

Architecture :
My first map that got a real credit for architecture is Central Assault. Expect
same styled rooms in Scientist Run.

Co-op Play :
As you being a scientist you will face more enemy`s you can handle at once so Co-op
play is needed to beat the monsters before they beat you. Certain area`s have low
resources on health and armor so you will need to heal eachother or be very carefull.
This is not a map for suicide runs. You will NOT need 2 players to finish the map. 
But ofcourse its more fun with 2 ;)
