my own. Many thanks to those whose fabs I used !

* Story *

Our hero has become very bitter toward the government for sending in the
stormtroopers to kill everything at Black Mesa, including himself. He finds
his way to another installation where the government continues experimenting 
with the world of Xen. With the taste of blood still fresh in his mouth, he
sets out to get some more. His HEV suit, torn and battered, is of no use
and he will have to penetrate the lab complex to get a new one. If he can
blast his way through the gauntlet of enemies, an F-16 sits poised for his escape. 
The game ends at this point.

* Hints *


There are two hidden areas somewhere among the levels if you can find them.
Both present a challenge when you get there and a small reward. 
Look for the crowbar early in the game (water). End of hints....
Use the " [ and ] " keys to select previous/next weapon (check your key bind
settings in the "controls" configuration) and hit your trigger to switch to the
new selection. Don't worry, you will get a HEV suit to make things easier, but
you have to make it through the first map to get it. Don't forget that "using"
scientists is a good thing if you're very low on health, but you must have the
suit on first. Make sure you know how to "long jump" (without the jump module)

Ok....this is my first attempt at editing Half Life, and has proved to be
quite a challenge. I hope to have something a little more creative in the
next episode. In the mean time I hope you enjoy this. Let me know !  
Please feel free to send opinions about this to me. I will answer all mail
from people who wish to contact me, with the exception of level editing
questions.(read the tutorials at gamedesign.net!)
