================================================================ Title : Arena Filename : arena.bsp Author : AJ James Address : AJ_James@xoommail.com Description : This level is based on a custom level that someone made for Duke Nuke'em. My friends and I used to play it all the time. I couldn't let it die with Duke, so, I threw this level together (not much was given to make things look real). This was necessary to reproduce the original feel of the Duke Nuke'em level. Of course, it has been tweaked for Half-Life, and I made it from memory, but it should still be recognizable to those who have played the Duke version. This level is a rectangular arena, about the size of a large gymnasium. There is a maze on the floor, and a sniper catwalk above. There is a main lookout which has a large Gun (made by Mrpops, thanks!), which I have customized. It can also be controlled remotely from the bunkers in each corner on the ground floor! Firing it takes getting used to, but hey! This level is VERY quick, and there is little cover. It is fun with 3+ people. For real fun, try organizing into teams, and keeping everyone straight! Enjoy! I dedicate this level to Tod Stokes and Erik Pikula, who made me love the Duke Nuke'em level so much, that I had to make a Half-Life version of it. Special Thanks to : The guy who originally developed the map for Duke Nuke'em 3D (Whoever you are, I salute you). Mrpops (Jose Garcia)...The guy who made the big gun. Tom Glorfield, Chad Bormann, Craig Phillips, and Kevin Peterson, for helping me play test, and for providing feedback. My wife, for her patience.
