========================================================

* Story *

The story is well, strange... You are Gordon Freeman, and you came home
after getting fired from the Gman's E-employers by not having that 
"limitless potential". You return home to a desert resort since you can't
afford anything in the Black Mesa, and you find out it's destroyed by the
military... ( The add-on for Half-Life: Opposing Forces Let's you play a soldier and
one of your missions is to destroy the city while Gordon was at Xen) Your objectives:
Slaughter the Marines and rescue the survivors... By the way this is a 3 map
preview of the real campaign. If it get's a low rating like 20-40, I will abandon
this map and create another campaign for Half-Life from scratch. At least this
map is better than others eg. "The Lounge" Ha ha ha.


* Comments *

This is my uh... first? map, took me a long time to build, and I don't
like to see it reviewed. Please? I know it's plain but I limit the block
faces because (gasp!) I have a Pentium 133 for a compiler machine.

=======================================================

* Installation *

Extract the bsp. files  to Half-Life\valve\map. Run the game from a 
shortcut on your desktop (or wherever) that has the following command line:

C:\Half-Life\hl.exe -console +map e1a0b

If C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\ is not the path to your hl.exe file you
will have to make changes accordingly. You can also leave off the
'+map e1a0b' command but you will have to type map e1a0b at the
console. The skill is set at easy, but you can't edit it if you want more\less of a challenge.
All you have to do is get the bat file with it, place it in your WC folder and right-click
to bring up the menu, click on edit and change skill level! 1-3.


======================================================

Please forward any comments to me about this map, 
and report errors at uh... I don't know my email so, why don't you type it at a forum on a site.? 
*note-some textures don't appear correctly in Accelerated*

=======================================================

* Hint *

1. Explore everywhere but don't go to places that are obviously pointless (except e1a0b)
2. Use cheats! This map is extremly difficult at the first area. Don't use the bat file for running if cheating.
3. Don't skip levels! Get's confusing!
4. Kill all Human_Grunts! NO! Do or do not, there is no try. 
5. The first area with the assasins is simple, find the switch that controls the elev.
   hitch a ride and find the switch at the top to open the locked door, it's that simple!
