It all began with the Climate Controller. The Combine installed it in hopes of controlling Earth's climate for future use. But things went awry, not expecting the chaotic nature of Earth's weather patterns, the Controller caused parts of the planet to be scorched into bone-dry deserts while plunging others into an endless winter. But in some places the Controller worked, keeping places at a steady temperature and keeping storm systems away, such as City 17.

Half-Life 2:Subvertus is a mod based in frozen wastelands of Europe. You start off in the boots of John Hayes , a ordinary rebel stationed in an outpost deep inside the frozen wastelands. You wake up and begin your day. Getting orders to ambush a Combine patrol, you prepare to head out, but that plan comes to an end quickly... "

Thanks for more comments, after looking it over, I do think the bloom was a bit to much, but mostly because of HDR. (I used env_lightglow)

Thanks for the comments and crits. Also, not to be rude or anything, but what do you mean by "Gamey" Rick?

After a few month's work the map is finally complete! The map has gone through several private alpha and beta tests to make sure there are no gameplay or graphical errors. The map was tested on two servers:

72.249.10.10:27015

80.190.78.54:27015

Both are great servers, so be sure to check them out.

The story:

"The map will be based in an overgrown, ancient factory. Think of the soft wind rustling through the cracks and holes of a by gone time. With the eerie silence that completely surrounds you, a chill runs down your spine. What happened here to make the inhabitance leave in such a hurry? What would make them abandon this place completely?"

The map is made for servers with about 25-32 slots. The map is still playable with less people, but since the map is large, the action will be less centralized. I will release a smaller version in a week's time.

Features:

-High FPS (80-100).

-Graphics that show ZM map don't have to full bright and ugly, but has teh gameplay that makes ZM fun.

-Barricading and camping.

-Throughly tested for game-breaking bugs

-HDR

-Large, detailed environment that will draw you into the game.

Credits:

-Caid for two of the smaller areas. (Good job on them, but work on keeping it on grid ).

-Games and Error.ocx;s servers for the private testing.

-Der.Zoomer for finding bugs that I didn't even know could exist.

-And everybody else who encouraged me!

Thanks, and happy hunting!

Some say the world will end in fire,

Some say in ice.

From what I've tasted of desire

I hold with those who favor fire.

But if it had to perish twice,

I think I know enough of hate

To say that for destruction ice

Is also great

And would suffice.

Something · WIP in WIP, post your level screenshots! Something July 20, 2007 at 1:13 PM

Sorry about that.

I use firefox so it doesn't give me any pop ups.

Decided to keep the beams, found a few ref photos that had similar designs.

I only had about 6 days to do a map. I found out last Friday and I am going on vacation this Friday. It has a few small graphical issues, but its the best I could do. With an hour and half compile time, it was crunch time for the past few days. Wish me luck.
