Arctic Defense (gm_arcticdefense)
If you own Half-Life 2: Episode 2, check out the expanded version!
Arctic Defense is a NPC map about an onslaught of Combine soldiers boarding the Borealis, which inexplicably teleported 50 miles onto land, near a Combine barracks. The Combine have learned about the presence of Odessa Cubbage, who is on board attempting to deliver a message to a hidden rebel base. The Combine will now stop at nothing to kill Colonel Cubbage.
It was originally a map made by SirusMaximius [hl2-beta.ru] for the 2003 Half-Life 2 leak, but he felt that the map was underwhelming, so I heavily modified and micro-optimized it to be compatible with Garry’s Mod.
This map features:
- An absurd amout of Combine
- A losing variable (Odessa dies)
- An increase in difficulty over time
- A terminal to teleport in more friendly meatbags
- A couple of turrets for you to throw around
- This weird thingamajig inside the cargo hold
- A plethora of nodegraphs
- A couple of cubemaps
- Snow
- No way to win 😀
