Alright, yeah this map is antlion heavy - not to be taken serious - it's been about time for an update. Lots of thanks to Skummeh for the playthrough
- elevator fix
- shotgun can be found - spare some shells for the elevator ride
- gnome easteregg
- Starship Troopers theme
- antlions, yes antlions
- higher resolution of lightmaps

Didn't like how long the antlion fight took. Gets to a point where you're just running in circles and clicking the trigger absentmindedly, all the tension totally dissolved. In HL2ep2 there's multiple weapons to use, strategy with turret placement, and allies with entertaining dialogue which keep the experience fresh.

Also not a fan of being locked in a small box and having manhacks thrown at me. Some of them even got caught under the elevator and I couldn't shoot them without some weird contortions.

The short jaunt after the elevator ride wasn't bad, but it was very odd to give us a room with a bunch of loot only to end the level immediately afterward.

I'm too old to beat this...

Fantastic job with this remake! I love throwbacks to classic HL2 levels in HLA and this was one of the best. Frustrating as hell at times on Merciless Hard, especially since I actually ran out of ammo, but that was part of the fun finding a way to survive by using all of the explosives available.
Took me 65 minutes to beat it finally. The elevator is glitchy and you can fall through it (happened several times), but otherwise I had no complaints. Well done! My playthru here: https://youtu.be/jEvbTY-1a0w

Overall was a really fun map. Liked that you started with max ammo focusing on the combat. I wish there were less things to fight while waiting for the elevator or there was one less cycle we had to do. Other than that, good detail and a fun short map.

Always cool to see hl2 remakes in hl:a. The map was really hard even on normal, i started out on hard but that's way to difficult for me. It was really fun once i had a path to avoid the antlions. Visuals are also nice
