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

Halloween Construction was a fun and short map. The map is straightforward, its got good enemy balance, nice weapon selection, and can be finished quite fast.

There is only one thing I didn't like about the map and that was that enemies appear in the player spawn after a certain point in the game. They are not difficult to kill but I just don't understand why it was necessary to put them there. It just means that when I spawn I have to fight the same enemies over and over again. It's not a good design choice to spawn in next to enemies.

On thing of particular note is that there are several parts where two players have to push buttons simultaneously to blow open the next area. In a lot of sven maps if you don't do it right you have to wait a couple seconds to try again. In this map the buttons reset really fast, my teammate and I were just mashing E on these buttons and it worked like a charm. I really appreciate how easy it was to sync up our button presses. I also like the final boss fight. If you die you can snipe the boss from high above and finish the map that way.

Pros:

  • Short and simple
  • large supply of weapons and ammo
  • enemy placement was overall done well

Cons:

  • respawning enemies at player spawn for no reason
Score: 7.5 / 10
