Super cool (haha get it?) map, Lost planet vibes
Ethosaur  [author] 18 Aug @ 12:32pm 
Thanks, if I had more time to make the map I would have made more and fixed some issues, but thanks either way for playing :steamthumbsup:

really cool map, short, but with fun action, love the atmosphere and the ambience , no puzzles which is fine, enemy placement was good and nice to engage , we all want the HL episode 3 to take place in the Borealis, but we have mods, which is good! Because there's many great modders. So for what it is, cool map.

i give it 6.5

I ran out of time for the competition when I made the map, otherwise I would have

really good but it would be 10x better if you could actually do something with the borealis
Ethosaur  [author] 5 Aug @ 9:10pm 
You need to throw the bombs it drops after shooting it with rpg, only takes like 3-4 then

If I ever update the map i'll probably just replace with a gunship

the facility looks nice but the chopper took 20 missiles!!!
Ethosaur  [author] 16 Jul @ 2:00pm 
thanks for playing, maybe one day I will make extended and fixed version

Ethosaur  [author] 2 Jun @ 8:58am 
Well yeah if you rush it, but yeah it was made for a short competition in less than 50 hours, so its pretty short.

Ethosaur  [author] 26 May @ 5:33pm 
Hmm, dont think I ever heard of anyone having this issue, try quicksaving and reloading save, and if that doesnt work I guess just restart and try again.

Great mission! Whew, I thought the helicopter would never die.

Short but beautiful and dynamic map. It was fun!

decent map, the ai has a hard time on the cliff faces running by gordon and alyx to seek cover on the top. and the heli is more tanky than any gunship.
Ethosaur  [author] 22 Feb @ 7:57pm 
I will try when I have time to do fix update, thanks for playing
Nomad 22 Feb @ 7:53pm

Lmao I can imagine

play this with that titanic replacement mod for the borealis and DUDE it is so much funnier for some reason
BuoYancY_dabl 7 Feb @ 3:30am 
Yeah Ive been a bit wrong in my last comment. Let me explain myself. I totaly forget this map was created for a contest so there are some negative and positive sides. Positive: the map actually looks beautiful. Alyx have some replics. Combine soldiers have their new winter skin. Negative: the combine fields (specifically one in a cave) is a solid object even for a bullets, so you cant shoot them and they make some interesting interaction with Alyx. The meshes of the sidewalk is... well... Half-Life 1 level of detail. The choper sequence is bad and good at the same time. I didnt liked the idea of shooting the copter with rpg so it drops bombs. While it drops bomb after the impact the heli just go south in all the ways possible so you cant reach it with the bomb. The sequence of it doing bayblade is funny tho, I liked it. And the last thing I really dissatisfied is the Borealis which apears as "func_tracktrain" with not so many paths just looks really funky.

Thanks for playing

Great Map
Ethosaur  [author] 3 Feb @ 10:39am 
Well, what can you do when you get 50 hours in a jam to make it.
BuoYancY_dabl 3 Feb @ 10:21am 
This is the worst ep3 map Ive seen yet ngl
Jeanmouloude 27 Jan @ 7:59am 
yea most people forget that detail, and the chopper was too far and over a canyon to grab the bombs
Ethosaur  [author] 27 Jan @ 7:55am 
I guess no one here has ever played Half-Life 2 EP2... No one ever uses the mines it drops to kill it, which only takes like 3-4 hits, the rpg only makes it drop the mines, but barely does any damage

I didnt have any time left when making the map to change it but if I ever go back to update this map I will probably change it to be a gunship
Jeanmouloude 27 Jan @ 7:41am 
Im trying to stream every single half life 2 maps
and this map gets a
why are choppers so god damn HARD to kill ? / 10

Adorable little trek with a very beefy, or cheesy, chopper fight depending on how you decide to time your rocket volleys and where you fight.
Ethosaur  [author] 5 Jan @ 5:46pm 
Maybe I will update one day when I have time
Ethosaur  [author] 5 Jan @ 5:46pm 
It was made for a competition in under 50 hours, sorry.
Ethosaur  [author] 5 Jan @ 5:41pm 
If you only use the RPG to kill it then yeah, you need to use the mines it drops after you damage it with RPG, but I guess it its not very well telegraphed as most just try to use RPG only
Jozaru 31 Dec, 2024 @ 2:14pm 
It's alright! I did read about the competition, that's why I thought it was impressive, besides, the map was fun to play!
Ethosaur  [author] 31 Dec, 2024 @ 2:03pm 
But maybe I will return and make an extended version some day when I have more time, thanks for playing either way!
Ethosaur  [author] 31 Dec, 2024 @ 2:02pm 
Yeah I know.. I made this for a competition in under 50 hours so there was no time to really detail, otherwise I would have gone crazy.
Jozaru 31 Dec, 2024 @ 1:53pm 
Amazing short map! Kinda wish some visual details were better
Nomad 26 Dec, 2024 @ 12:52am 
Я бы добавил немного больше стычек с комбайнами , добавил ещё пару реплик Аликс, сделал меньше хп у вертушки но добавил бы десант, который высаживался бы когда у вертолета остаётся 50% хп
Nomad 26 Dec, 2024 @ 12:47am 
Вообще эта карта как и карта смог сити требуют допилв конечно, если их улучшить ещё немного мне кажется они будут намного лучше и завершеннее. Потенциал очень хороший. Атмосфера этих двух карт очень зашла
Nomad 26 Dec, 2024 @ 12:42am 
Is there any way to optimize the snow? When there is a snowstorm, fps drops to 80-90, and without it 250-300
