Designer's Notes

Idea:

I got the idea for this level from my maze level that I created for Duke Nukem 3D. After I started mapping for Half-Life, I got the idea to recreate it. I started mapping it, but never finished. After months of abandoning the project, I have restarted it, and it looks better than ever.

Layout:

This level places two teams inside a maze. Each of the teams gets two barracks each, located on the corners of the level. Along the outside of the maze are four bunkers. These bunkers have a mounted turret and a backpack with some ammo. Also, in the very center of the maze is a much bigger bunker. That bunker has no mounted turrets, but the only grenade supply. All bunkers provide protection against most grenades tossed.

HPB Bot:

I have included a waypoint file, maze1_tfc.wpt, for use with the HPB Bot. It was created with version 1.0. Servers running older version of the HPB bot may not be able to use the waypoint file.
