@redeadening It shouldn't do that. Do you have any other addon active that could interfere?
You say "all the add-ons" this is just one that needs to be enabled.

I'd like to play it but it keeps on kicking me out soon after I start. All the add-ons are enabled. ???

Glad I jumped in after we got the shotgun added. Such a fun map which starts out with exploration and a bit of humor and ends with some seriously challenging combat. I couldn't pull it off after a few tries on Merciless Hard and had to drop it to Normal. I could definitely do it, but it was getting to be a bit much, and Merciless Normal feels like the sweet spot for this map. Well done! https://youtu.be/k8UrL-WSUro

OMG I wouldn't have made it out the hideout with shotgum!

@william Awesome! Thanks a lot for the video. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Before the patch there was no Shotgun, the fight felt unbalanced, or even unfair.

i wonder what the map was like before the difficulty patch
either way i played the final battle and it felt very epic here is a video

I took the criticism about the difficulty serious - yeah there were some negative votes :( - and made some more updates.
Biggest one is that you now, in addition, get the shotgun for the fight to seize the evil shotgunner Combine.
But I also removed latches of the doors to avoid cheesing the fights - you can still hide behind the doors but Combine can go through them.

Hopefully you'll have fun with the update, let me know what you think.

Thank you all for the feedback, critic and comments.
I updated the map once more, especially the final fight after what I saw in @Neon's playthrough.
Fixed the spawning in the last part and brought back the "flinch" on the shotgun Grunts.
Also you can now find a cat in the map.

Thanks for the detailed feedback @Neon. Glad you liked the exploration part and the AI voices.
Your recording and feedback helps me a lot to polish the map, I cannot stress this enough - thank you! I will definitely polish the last part of the battle. Officer spawns much too late.
For the Combine, I deliberately removed the "panic" and set their animgraph to shoot. Normally they find the enemy, wait a bit and then shoot (OnFoundEnemy). The same goes for the part where they get shot (OnDamaged). It makes the combat feel different. Yes, the shotgun grunts are a menace, I think I'll change the one in the second spawn squat.
There are a lot of cover volumes and the Combine used them in your recording, they just leave faster, following an aiscripted_schedule.
I saw that it was frustrating at the end, so this will definitely have a work over.
Thanks!

The way you have to explore the map to find keycards and do fights in between really reminds me of the original DOOM games
