This is looking so good each screenshot, makes me wanna lick the monitor. C:

This is the map I look forward to the most at the moment. :))

Hey, hey, look who's here

me too ...I wish the creator would speed things up and...oh wait

After nearly 2 months of extended break (holidays and whatnot), I resumed work on the map.

Started detailing CT spawn

Looks like right out of a science fiction Movie! love it

Thank you.

The map is based on Half-Life and Opposing Force for the old school look of a recently evacuated research/military facility.

[clankill3r]

It reminds me of HL1.

I love the crossfire looking half life based environments. Looking forward to play this map. 

It reminds me of HL1.

Thanks.

I'm really glad people are noticing the Half-Life theme on the fly; I guess my work is done

Not sure if I should expect a headcrab/vortigaunt or a terrorist running down the stairs

This map won't be complete without some form of HL easter egg(s)

Maybe at random spots across the map G-Man can pop up adjusting his tie

I would squeal like a little girl if I happened upon something like that  

EDIT: Also, not sure of name origin, but could it be something more "Half Lifey", or is this getting too gimmicky now?

This map won't be complete without some form of HL easter egg(s)

Maybe at random spots across the map G-Man can pop up adjusting his tie

- ...last player alive in Ts, slowly approaching bombsite

- peeks quietly around a corner to scout the area

- Gman suddenly "appears" in front of him

- player pees himself and starts firing uncontrollably

- player gives away his position and is shot dead

- player quits CSGO and stares at his desktop screen...

But seriously, I like your idea of small HL Easter eggs; the Gman might be a bit extreme for CSGO but I'll see what I can cook in here

Yeah ofc, I was just going a little over the top

How about these then:

• Interactive vending machines that drop cans
  • spam proof
  • don't heal you
• Interactive microwave
  • frazzles/blows when turned on
• Interactive eye scanners
  • *bleepy noises*
  • "ACCESS DENIED"
• Interactive wall mounted Health and Armour dispensers
  • Maybe hold "use" to make the noise
  • Definitely do not provide health or armour
• Inaccessible room with recognisable HL1 props in (maybe from source version?)
  • Weapons / Ammo
  • Health / Armour pickups
• Ambient Headcrab noises
  • Like the inferno apps dog, but in a vent somewhere

I think that's enough for now, unless you wanna just go for decals or something

Great stuff Jack, thanks for sharing

I'll see what I will include without affecting CSGO mechanics/gameplay much.

The map already has a non-interactive retinal scanner, so I might bring it "alive"

[Klems]

Something like that obviously, with the desk, screen and all.

[will2k]

The map will have subtle coloring and hints to allow players to know their location and whereabouts on the fly.

You noticed in the previous screenshot the blue color and sector C (in CT corridor), now we have red color and sector T (in T corridor)

Hope this will also be useful for callouts

[will2k]

map is progressing steadily; I have also implemented many Half-Life Easter eggs across the map with more to come (looking at you @jackophant )

here's a fresh screenshot
