------- Level Description --------------------------------------<br />

<br />

Not a lot of people play Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, and I don't understand why. I was tired of closed in designs of real world locations, and wanted to build something in a slightly more exotic location, so I made use of the few old snow and ice materials (and a couple of my own) and created Enzo, the now defunct clandestine rocket base used by our government during the space race. The design began literally as an isometric sketch of the exterior on a piece of paper, and the blocking out the level geometry into a playable form in the following hours.<br />

<br />

I have a lot mapping projects I need to finish, but I didn't want to make this one of them, so I devoted all of my mapping at the time to this so that eventually it would see the light, and other people might get to play it for themselves. I detailed the environment, making thumbnail sketches of each room before construction, and built Enzo from the interior to exterior, saving finishing touches such as custom materials for the very last.<br />

<br />

------- Easter Eggs/Secrets* --------------------------------------<br />

<br />

Extra good stuff in the Furnace room if you look for it.<br />

<br />

------- Known Issues --------------------------------------<br />

<br />

The water is kind of ugly if you fall off the edge into it. Tried to create an ice field instead, but results just came out ugly. Figured the water was the lesser of too evils.<br />

<br />

You can land on a rock in the back before you fall into the water, but not a lot of good that does you ultimately.<br />

<br />

------- Textures, Sounds and Models --------------------------------------<br />

<br />

Makes most use of HL2 materials and models, and uses a couple models from Counterstrike: Source.<br />
