Claustrophobia

MISSION:

F.E.A.R. combat operatives will attach to responding Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (SFOD-D) troops to reconnoiter the area for the purpose of recommending military response. Teams should not engage the enemy unless fired upon.

Claustrophobia is a highly CQB focused map, heavily inspired by F.E.A.R with the weird lighting from Alan Wake 2. It was on that fateful October 22nd that I was replaying F.E.A.R, messing with its A.I that the labyrinthine level design annoyed me to no end. This map was made as a response and as a case study on F.E.A.R's level design, figuring out how the creators constructed each level. It seemed as if every combat encounter was made to give the enemy a slight edge and give both Point man and the enemies plenty of opportunities to outmaneuver and flank each other. The blockout admittedly took a lot longer than I thought since I was constantly ALT-TABBING to F.E.A.R and looking at the layouts. This map is the result.

There's also a cool easter egg for Silent Hill fans near the end of the map.
