From the map start it is a race to make it to the end of the map by going through easy to difficult challenges. There are a couple different gameplay modes: racing, top scorer, free for all. Racing is when from start to finish you try to beat your opponent to the finish line. Top scoring mode is when the person who gets the most points wins. Free for all is just easy going completion where you just try to make it to the end of the map. Typically it will be free for all on most server. You may meet certain people that wish to race. It is all up to you what type of skills mode you want to game with.
Scoring:
You will receive 100 points on most maps after completing all challenges. There is no limit to how many points you can get.

"hehe , actually this map is before your time yahu ;p "
yeah, beyond my time... 1999.
did not like how u make it so dark. I thought this was a great idea since i loved the conc and rjumps in tfc.
Though you need to add more maps. lol i mean geez on that 1 map i played in a server that i created (there were no servers >-<)the first jump ez. 2nd jump was a little tough then i saw the 3rd one i was like holy shit. 28 levels of that shit damn dude fuck that. Though if anything bring a another version. Nice name nice game just needs more.
looks like really ugly mapping didn't die with original tfc skills - bother to stretch textures and you might get more get more than 1 for graphics
hehe , actually this map is before your time yahu ;p
it was originally conc_speed , or something similar.
Well made for hl1 but .. might need to be a bit spruced up for hl2 ;p.
There are now servers and if there is, i cannot connect, i tried it with friends... you just can't connect
Arclan.net
here's a pic of the error , ;)
2 recommendations , firstly you can shoot rockets too fast i beat the map in 7 minutes...
the grenades cannot be primed like they can in tfc , thus making the grenades kinda useless...
BUT , I do have to say , Very well done for the beginning
i have found 2 large errors in the map though. The glass is supposed to be shootthroughable in one of them
you can do this by making the glass a Func_illusionary , with a Clip texture over it. the clip will make the nades and rockets go through but the person can't. later on in the map theres a problem with one of the areas , it looks as though you vert-maniped a more than 4 poly surface , dont do that..
I'll have a link up in just a second
The weapons are all weapons that are already in hl2.
"no more will you be limited to the confines of half-life 2. "
But we will be confined to shitty maps and a constant desert theme...
