gm_apartment_neighborhood_v2_christmas
This map is a remake of gm_apartment_neighborhood_v2, but with a Christmas touch!
The main differences between this map and the original are the addition of snow, new lights, replaced some original TV and computer animations with new ones, original music replaced with Christmas music.

Original description below.
This map includes:
-A large apartment block with explorable rooms and roof access,
-Two convenience stores,
-A park,
-A second apartment complex with explorable rooms,
-Several other structures including an explorable yellow building,
-A "custom" skybox, a slight modification of an already existing hl2 night time skybox.
If you are having problems with missing textures, or bad cubemaps, type the following command into the console:
mat_specular 0
WARNING: IN SPITE OF MANY OPTIMIZATIONS, THE MAP CAN REACH A LOW OF 30FPS IN CERTAIN AREAS DUE TO IT’S SHEER COMPLEXITY.
WARNING 2: ALTHOUGH UNLIKELY, IF THE GAME GOES SILENT IT MEANS THAT YOU HAVE TURNED ON TOO MANY TOGGLEABLE SOUNDS! IT MAY CRASH THE GAME. TO FIX THIS, TURN OFF SOME OF THE SOUNDS. (The source engine has a hard limit on how many megabytes of audio can be played at once).
Note:
School has been extremely demanding so I was unable to finish the two new maps I had planned to release before the end of the year. I also doubt that I will be able to upload any new maps in January. If I do, it will probably be at the end of the month. I did at least take the time to finish this remake, so I have at least reached one of my goals.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
