That's strange... Unless you noclipped back into that room after solving it that shouldn't happen... and i don't think it has before either. Odd.

no... I have done nothing of the sort. Have not typed anything in the consol or anything. OH well...

This is for those of you who haven't yet figured out how to complete this map. I have made a video of me doing the whole map, some parts can be done better using different strategies however it should be handy. Heres the link:

(Sorry if the spoiler tags are unnecessary, but I'd like to be cautious.)

-Finally, this:

This is the inside of a vent in the "Big fan" room. I was so sad when I saw this... it SCREAMS "Get inside me!" and then when you finally do it you find nothing inside

All in all, excellent map. Correct these small things here and it will be perfect.

This. Omigoodness, this.
I spent a good 5-10 minutes jumping along air just right so I could land in there and when I did, it leads to NOTHING.

...the only part I had frustration with was the jump from the piston to the stairs. I knew it was possible to make it, and I knew you had to jump from the bulkier part of the piston, but it still took a fair number of quickloads to pull off.

do you have a pic of the room you're talking about? because i don't remember there being any difficult jump from a piston to a stair anywhere in the map. maybe you missed a fling opportunity?

I don't have a screenshot on hand, but I'm fairly certain he's referring to 3:30 in this speed run. I remember this being a little tough for me too, tough, but possible.

I thought the "X" on the wall was a pretty good indicator that you were supposed to fling there.

I liked this map a lot. It was lengthy, but never got boring. My only complaint is that all the [spoiler]backtracking and portal tunneling[/spoiler] required to solve the puzzle after the incinerator left me feeling like I had cheated, since traditional portal puzzles don't require that sort of thing (and if you do do that sort of thing, it usually means you're doing it wrong).
