================================================================ Title : Subterranean Laboratories - for Half-Life Date : 17th January 1999 Filename : sublab.bsp Author : André van Rooijen aka "TELEBUGGY" Email Address : avrooijen@universal.nl Home Page : http://www.inter.nl.net/hcc/A.Van.Rooijen/hlweb/halflife.htm Description : Well, what can I say, it's my first one! As the title of the map may suggest, in a laboratory-complex deep underground. The building is very high and quite open. At the very last moment I also modelled a little outside erea with an entrance to the complex. As far as gameplay is concerned I noticed that a lot of deathmatch maps are for the most part horizontal ones. I tried to make a map that also forces you to look up and down once in a while. As a result the map has quite a number of snipers-delight spots in it. Although you are never sure of who might be sneaking up behind you. The 3 doors all open manualy so you will be able to think of a plan befor you rush into the room. The lifts all go up and down. They are triggered when you stand in front of them (don't wait to long though because it's BOOM for you then). While, in filesize, it's quite a large map it played rather well on the machines I tested it on (from p200 + voodoo 1 to pII 350 with Ati Rage Pro). Also LAN playing was smooth enough for our daily fragfests. I hope you will enjoy playing it as much as I liked building it. And if you do, please let me know. Thanks to : Bionic Bironic, Jeronimo, konteschopper, dualis, Doomy, Lamer deluxe, Kort Jackje, the sniper (you know who you are) and all the other guys at Davilex who played with me on my map and in the meantime made some usefull remarks. And let's not forget the guys from Valve for making a great game. ================================================================ * Play Information * Single Player : No (one start so you can look around) Deathmatch : Yes, 4/6 or more players would be ideal, up to about 16 or so.
