* Play Information * Title : Rock Bottom Filename : rock_bottom.bsp Author : Brian 'DFactor' Pereira other maps by author : WaterWerx(HL/DM) Email address : bpereira@uswest.net Description : Rock Bottom is a small DM level for Half Life. It is based on an underground bunker theme. It has a fairly simple and tight layout that makes for fast gameplay. This map should be good for 3-8 players although I have played it one on one and found it to move fairly quick as you can usually hear your way to the other player. It's never been tested with more then six so the upper limit has never been proven either but the weapons placement was designed for this player range. It is dark and moody and should provide something for most playing styles. Secrets, surprises? Don't remember. This maps been in development for a long time. You can't expect me to remember everything about it! Single Play : No, there is a single player start. Deathmatch Play : Yes 8 starts Difficulty Settings : NA Acknowledgements : A great Big Thanks to Evilchild at the Department of Engineering (www.halflife.lowlife.com) for hosting such a valuable site. If you are not familiar with the DOE, it is a site for mappers to test their wares and get feedback from other mappers. As anyone who has tried to create a map can tell you, testing is the hardest and most important part of the whole process. If it wasn't for the DOE there would be no place for many of us to go. : Another big Thank You! to all the mappers and testers over at the DOE for your input, time and patience through four betas. So once again thanks to: TroZ, Smarmy, Mirar, Luther, Evilchild, Coroner, MAEL, and anyone else who provided input that I may have missed. : An advanced thanks to everyone at Radium of reviewing this and all the other maps that hit their hard drives. Keep up the good work or I might have to go back to reading news with my coffee! : Of course the Almighty Creators of Half-Life and WorldCraft. You can be the giver of joy and triump as well as frustration and despair. : And of course to my wife for being understanding through the hours and hours and always being there when I do manage to pull myself away from the monitor. Much of the time that went into this map belonged to her. ::: Construction ::: Base : From scratch Editor(s) used : Worldcraft 2.0 Build time : 120 hrs.
