A Scanner Darkly[]

  • Engine: EP2
  • Released: July 14, 2010
  • Author: Kennth Dilks

“The renegade Gordon Freeman is back, and as usual, being hunted by the merciless Combine within the ruins of City17. In this scenario, the Combine have almost perfected a field teleportation device, and mounted it to a modified Combine Scanner. Once the Scanner verifies the location of Gordon within City17, it teleports in a MetroCop to deal with the situation. This fast-paced action-oriented level focused on a new dynamic-flank combat setup to keep the player on the edge of their seat as Gordon tries to escape through the sewer system of City17.”

Dead-End Freeman: Reload[]

  • Released: June 30, 2008
  • Author: Robert Glee
  • Engine: EP2

This map is set in the Half-Life 2 universe with the player in the role of Gordon Freeman. In this scenario, Gordon must infiltrate an enemy controlled research lab to recover valuable data before it is compromised. While he explores the lab, Gordon discovers a hidden room with a powerful data spike program, which he uses to hack into enemy equipment to use against them. My goal with this level was to take a unique gameplay element (enemy conversion) and find a fun and unique way to use it within the restrictions of the HL2 world.

Forest Ambush[]

  • Engine: EP2
  • Released: October 5, 2008

This map was originally created as part of the HoloReality mod but due to requiring Episode Two content it was removed. It is presented here in an AS IS state. This means that it was not extensively beta tested, has some visual errors and contains places where you can get stuck.

When commenting and rating please remmeber these points. It’s better to have it in this form than not at all.

My thanks go to Silverlan, the author, for agreeing to its release separately.

Lake 17: Inland Beach[]

  • Author: Eric James Harden
  • Released: July 01, 2008
  • Engine: EP1

Author's Description[]

You play the role of one of thousands of citizens who gave their lives on the day of the 7 hour war, the day the Combine brought the world to its knees in a mere 7 hours. Each hour from this historic tale will be available in Chapter format. Chapter 1 is available for download, Chapters 2-7 will be released when they are completed. My focus for Chapter 2 will be to tell the backstory with choreographed scenes made in Faceposer, so there will be no gameplay in Chapter 2. I will be looking for voice actors to lend me a hand in the audio department within the coming months.

“My goal for this project was to create a fun, challenging full length single player episode based inside of the Half-Life universe. Highlights from this episode include diverse, challenging, and creative scripted combat sequences, intuitive puzzles, realistic architecture, HDR lighting, and a climatic musical score. Strategic areaportal, hint/skip, and occluder placement allow for this episode to run smoothly on any machine that meets HL2’s minimum system requirements. In terms of artistic direction my aim was to stay true to the style that Half-Life has come to be known for, while still maintaining a degree of originality. Specific colour palettes have been used to seperate areas and to help instill a sense of mood in the environment.”

You get extracted in the sewers outside a big city that is controlled by the Combine, although there are certain parts of the city that are filled with headcrabs and other creatures. You have to find and fight your way through the sewer, over the railroad track into the city. Once you’re in the city, your objective is to find the power plant and destroy it. It sounds easy but you will have to fight for your life before you get there.

Neuromancer[]

  • Engine: EP2
  • Author: Bailey Hall
  • Released: June 2, 2008

Neuromancer is a Half-Life 2: Episode Two single player level where the player must travel between cyberspace and reality to of unlock new areas of the physical world.

Author's Notes[]

“For this level I chose to focus on intuitive aspects of level design with an emphasis on puzzles. A designer faces many challenges while creating a level that is intuitive to the player. Each player has a unique way of solving a puzzle and associating the objects nearby with their surroundings. In Neuromancer, the player must use the data cubes to hack into cyberspace and decrypt barriers which unlock new areas of the physical world. The data cubes are a prime example of objects which the player must associate correctly in order to unlock new areas.

I wanted to work with cyberspace for a while and knew it would be a rewarding task to try and create two different environments and seamlessly tie them together to create a solid piece. From custom texture creation to detailed attention to the placement of assets, each area provided an artistic challenge during creation.”

Really, after Freeman and Alyx have been teleported out of Nova Prospekt, at least most of the facility has been destroyed, but in here, the Depot and the prison is still there.
