Excellent puzzles with well-placed hints, Gravity Gun combat in the special city, where buildings feel like luxurous palaces: amazing use of Half-Life 2 textures.
Gordon is in pursuit of a traitor who kills rebels left and right... WITH CROWBAR! Unique boss fight awaits in the end.

Excellent level with beautiful, living world, storytelling and interesting different locations.
The scenery is very rich with various details and nicely lit with sunset. Such choice of time of day also allowed to decorate the area with sun rays.
The place is very interesting to explore. Many different well-made backgrounds take turns as we move forward: gardens, forests, rivers, windmills, rocks.
After getting through farmlands, we see the smoke. Something's not right. Then we get to a scripted scene of a battlefield. There's fighting in the distance, and archers shoot at incoming goblins. This is a great way to tell a story inside the level and it strongly increases the quality of experience.
Such scripted storytelling, together with birds and animals create immersive feel of visiting living, breathing world where events happen independently from the player.
Through a cave we suddenly get into witch's house. There are a lot of violet plants which create sense of wonderful and magical place. Original fire obstacle becomes a great way to rest from battles and get through something different.
Ancient ruins is where that house is located. Through a secret passage we can get to the balcony and see a nice view of them. When we finally find a way out of the house, we finally arrive there, where the level spectacularly ends with a boss fight.

This is a cutscene on Freelancer engine that I made few years ago. As you can see, it was inspired by a humorous video-magazine from Calambur Pictures.

Beautiful level design, interesting events.
For years we're waiting to find out what are Kane's new orders, but the game's continuation is still wasn't even announced. So it's not a surprise that some can't take the fire of curiosity and create their own versions of events.
From the first seconds it's noticeable that this work is very serious. We see a beautiful screenshot during the loading, and then there's the mission briefing. The story starts in the best tradidions of spying, like in the game Wolfenstein. We need to enter the enemy base and find a napalm gun, but our cover is blown immediately after arrival and the battle begins.
The design is very beautiful, although some rooms are almost identical, but the author is very busy, so it can be forgiven. Architecture is very complex and inspiring.
Monster placement is excellent as well. At first the local guards try to defeat us by themselves, later there are serious enemies - elite tactical stroggs and tank miniboss, meeting him is realised with a cutscene, but this cutscene lacks for spectacular camera movement.
This mappack leaves a pleasant impression. Unfortunalely, the last level is not out yet, so we won't get to the Napalm Gun. The project is frozen now. We can only hope that someday the author will return to it and finish.

The maneater plant tried to eat me while I was using the leash. As a result, the leash got stuck and the q button don't work, so I had to restart from checkpoint.

These are my first finished quality maps. I made them long time ago. This year I recollected them, polished and recently they have finally seen the light of day.
Recently I made a new mod Typical Disaster: the Lost Levels, which shows what would happen in the mod if I hadn't ended it at the last "office" map.
