Sorry, we couldn't find any images attached to this page.

There is a rather fanciful interpretation of what happens in this map in the map description. I guess Barney's family is a bunch of aliens. The map is very straightforward, players spawn in a room with some pistol ammo, walk through a hallway full of zombies, go up some stairs and get a shotgun. There is one fork in the map here, players can go up to fight a gargantua and die or go around to fight alien slaves and grunts to get an rpg to kill the gargantua. The map ends when the garg dies. That is the whole map.

The whole thing was over so fast. The story might as well be for a different map for all that it mattered, the map design was uninspired boxy rooms done up in standard Half-Life textures. The combat was ok and the ammo was plentiful for how big the map was. It was an ok experience but I don't see any reason to recommend this map.

Pros:

  • good amount of ammo for the amount of combat
  • fun story I guess

Cons:

  • uninspired map design
  • I don't dislike short maps, but the whole thing went by so fast and none of it really stood out
Score: 5 / 10
