this is my first map (3 maps and a boss battle) so please be nice. it is loaded with glitches but i messed the story up in the ending so i dont really care about the map anymore.. but constructive criticism is welcome and ill read it and understand it to make my future maps better!

the loading messes the maps up so if the maps are gonna be so short in the future ill make it in 1 bsp instead of 3 ...

sorry its kinda hard as theres no hints and you'll never figure out how to win the boss battle

Download here =)

while writing this i got an idea for my next project (but it probably wouldnt work out).. its called Portal Too. its like a portal 2 where it continues the story after

. then i plan on alyx from hl2 will be in it some how..

i found it cool maybe to use the ashpd as a weapon to defeat combine soliders or something

EDIT: if you just cant figure out how to defeat the boss here you go:

I'll move this to the Releases board when someone confirms it is "quality content".

its the map as a whole man, like i said, i'm not trying to be negative, but this thing needs lots of work. lighting, structure, design. texture being alinged, using good "architecture" design, alot of the walls are too thin, some of the walls don't line up right, it looks "slapped together" its fine for a first map or whatever and, i understand you are happy you put this together, but this isn't really a "release" map. i've got tons of these sitting in my vmf directory that i would never release
