Helm’s Deep -Fixed-
After the version uploaded by SeriouS_Samurai was set to friends-only visibility, a lot of players were left wondering whether they will ever be able to play this iconic Lord of the Rings map again; but now you mustn’t fret any more!
This version of the map is brought to you by Xanaguy and me, and features a safe and cleaned up version of Helm’s Deep Reborn, without any of SeriouS_Samurai’s malicious changes.
The map and scripts have been altered to allow everyone to use the former donator-exclusive perks, such as:
!bill, !francis, !louis and !zoey to spawn the L4D1 survivor bots to fight alongside you.
!orcrist for a map-exclusive melee weapon.
This add-on will also automatically enforce sv_consistency 0, to allow your friends to join you much more easily. (sv_consistency 0 means that they can join even if they have conflicting add-ons installed)
If you wish to know the full story behind this map, and why it had such a negative impact on the community, you should watch this video.
