[Working Title] Highway To Hell

[unlawful_combatant]

Hello everyone, just wanted to you this map I've been working for awhile. I started back when I first started playing with hammer, then I forgot about it, then I picked it up again, then I forgot it and then picked it up again. It's been totally redone several times, and then L4D came out and I knew what had to be done. So heres a few screenshots.

Looks nice, how large is this map?
because there seems to be a good selection of different areas.

looks pretty cool so far. reminds me a little of Death Toll. What is the finale?

Its fairly large, orignal used to have a whole interchange. But, I had to split it apart to save time on vis and to optimize, I took up over half of the allowed brush faces, and now it does again. Also I'm still fleshing out alot of the stuff for gameplay and pacing. For a finale, I haven't decided yet, I'm more worried about where it would be since I still haven't figured out finales.
Heres another screen...

the bridge is more empty than I would prefer, I'm going to make it "under construction" to create a narrower passage.

oh wow! that looks great man! the first to screens are my favorite, fighting on the highway seems like a blast with the infected crawling all over the place. in the background of the 3rd screen you can see a highway sign, is it the same one seen in the first screen?

can't wait to play it, a highway map is a cool idea. good stuff :)

With all these cars about, is there a set path?
What I mean is can you move between all the cars and pick a way through the maze, or are the ways between cars blocked forcing you down a main route?

I just hope that you dont have to fight the tank on the highway. I to this day hate death toll for including Oh I dont know about 6 or 7 cars where ever you meet the tank! Or at least bolt alot of them down. But yea, looks great and I personally think the finale should be in the grocery store or gas station

I personally think the finale should be in the gas station

have you played no mercy???

Strangely enough, I've been working on a finale that would be perfect. I would understand if you wanted to make your own since you look like youre nearly finished. But if you wanted a little help lemme know, Im about half-way done my Car Dealership Finale. decent sized building, big windows, lots of cars outside for car alarms maybe. I know It would be AGES before I finished 5 levels to publish a map.. as Im kind of a perfectionist. Also hammer without SDK is pain in the ass.

Lemme know tho. I play under "Autism: The Musical"
