[spoiler]I pretty much figured out what i had to do with the cube right away with the door, but i spent a long time, using the angled platform, or not, and really couldn't get the cube to lay against the door at an angle. it was very frustrating to try to get it to do that.

so that made me go get the ball from the last puzzle and it made me wonder how do you destroy a camera that is on a nonportable wall anyway?

so i spent a lot of wasted time trying something with the ball and the cube against the door to no avail. i'll try fiddling again with the angled platform and see if i can do it....[/spoiler]

oh well after all that i did it on the first try. go figure.

I agree that a camera or a turret makes propping a door open easier.

I seem to remember that manipulating objects to be at certain angles was so much easier with the gravity gun in HL2.

there are certain objects that when you pick them up snap to an angle, this made it easier with certain things. Also the HL2 environment is more varied which makes it easier to prop things against something to rotate them

Awesome map, took me a good 35 minutes to beat.

I admit that I had to resort to spoilers for the last one (although I did manage to get the ----- from the other room into the final chamber by myself, it proved useless anyway XD).

10/10

For anyone stuck in the level, or interested in comparing how they beat it, to how it was intended to be beaten, here is a video I uploaded of the map.

Whoa!
I thought my pc sucked with it's as-god-as extinct geforce 4800(which is just about the best part of them all )

Anyways, great map ^^ really liked the tricky way of getting through the first door...and just about everything else too!

This level was just about the most fun I've played so far. Top notch. I got to use all sorts of sneaky tricks in this level....I'm guessing other people have experienced the same feeling where you've encountered similar problems before, so you can use the same tricks sometimes..

[spoiler]In the last room for this one, I put a portal up on the wall opposite that of the gridded-off last door button, so that if something came through that portal, gravity would safely guide it down. Instead of looking in the same room, or even just the last big jump for a place to build momentum, I went back to the last big vertical drop so I knew it'd get me across the first time. This trick was also used for some in the 18th level in the normal game if you're looking for a quick way to fly past all those robots; blue portal on the "in room" tilted surface, orange portal down and back on one of the the big pads before the big robot area.[/spoiler]

This level was a lot of fun and had a lot of interesting things used in its level construction.
