City Gateway

A large NPC battle map set on the outskirts of City 25. The city is walled, and the main gates guarded by the Gateway Hub. Further out, beyond the canal, a rebel base plots a way to break through and liberate the citizens within...

FEATURES
-Lot and lots of buildings
-Opposing bases for the rebels and Combine
-Interiors everywhere
-Spawn room with teleports to the two bases
-A frankly ludicrous number of NPC nodes
-Also strider + air nodes
-Also also a navmesh
-Summonable aircraft: dropships, hunter choppers and gunships
-You can ride the dropships by boarding their crates behind the gateway Hub
(I strongly recommend a mod that lets you side with the Combine for this, see below)
-A prison on the Combine side, it can be purged
-Underground areas
-Forcefields and thumpers controllable from the Gateway Hub
-Weapons dispenser in the Combine spawn

USING THE PRISON PURGE
There isn't enough power in the network to run the purge sequence on top of everything else, so you need to divert power from the other systems. Go to the electrical panel in the lowest level of the Gateway Hub and switch it from SYS to WEP. Beware that this will cause power to be lost in the forcefields, thumpers and main gates, rendering them unusable until power is restored.

Once the power is switched, press the newly lit buttons in either the Gateway Hub control room or the prison control room, and make sure you're outside the prison when it happens!

FOR LONG-TIME PLAYERS
You may remember me from making Citadel Town. I never finished that map and the source files eventually corrupted, so this map is in part to make up for never completing it. I likely won't return to Citadel Town, but perhaps I'll remake it one day. Depends on if I get other ideas first.
