----------------------BACKGROUND INFORMATION---------------------------
Map Storyline: Years after the Black Mesa incident,
information about the facility leaked
out into the hands of powerful and
greedy companies.Both the Mesington
Institute and Lamda Dyne had an army
and was willing to fight for the
chance to explore the facility and
retrieve any of the amazing technology
which survived the military bombings.
The fighting went on for weeks and
there was no clear winner. Both
companies decided to set up high tech
HQs for their armies. Now after a long
and costly stalemate both companies
are running out of money and resources
to keep their army going. Now is the
time to attack and gain the victory
before it's too late and you must help
your employers to victory.
GOOD LUCK !
Map Description: 2 bases, each with a tube surrounding the
flag, which must be raised. There is a
small structure seperating the bases in
no mans land which has 2 heavy machine
guns on the roof. You can access the
structures roof via the transport platform
on the base roofs. Outside each base is
an abondoned trench used in the early
stages of the conflict.
Designers Notes: The sign 'Aero Bays' leading up to
the snipers bay is in honour of
the ImP clans annoyingly good
sniper Aero.
