January 18, 1999 ================================================================ Title : The Brothers Disgruntled Arena Filename : bdarena.bsp Author : BLigHT[BD] Address : bd_blight@hotmail.com Description : This is an arena style map that should support from 4-8 players. This is my second Half-Life map created thus far. Special Thanks to : Valve - For creating Half-Life! Wyvern[BD] - For his infinite knowledge and beta testing ;-) Nosferatu[BD] - For helping me come up with ideas in our drunken stupor and for whipping Wyvern's ass in the final beta run match. Icehouse and Camel cigs - For getting me through the rather pissed off moments that are always included in map making. My Wife - For putting up with this crap. ================================================================ Play Information Single Player : No Deathmatch : Yes Cooperative : No Difficulty Settings : No New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : No ================================================================ Construction Base : New level from scratch Editor used : Worldcraft v2.0 Known Bugs : None. Build Time : Unknown. ================================================================ Designer's Notes I was impressed in Quake 2 by maps like Beta2DM that sported a large arena style atmosphere. The action was always furious and the frag counts high. My hopes with this map was to create some- thing similiar that would work for Half-Life. I feel that I have accomplished this and I'm sure all arena loving players will get a kick out of this one. The one thing that I did not get to do as planned was I intended to use the desert2 sky which looked much better but caused errors in software mode. Since I wanted everyone to have a chance to play it, I changed to a sky that would not generate the same error. As I am one who's aim is to please the audience, I would eagerly accept feedback in regards to this map at bd_blight@hotmail.com. Look for more maps to be generated by myself and by other members of our clan, The Brothers Disgruntled. ================================================================ Installation To play this level, extract the file "bdarena.bsp" into your sierra\half-life\valve\maps directory and then start the game.
