Your friends are dead. Your family doesn't want you. You have nothing but bitter 
memories and open wounds. You're going to save thousands of Japanese school children.
You're going to change Japan forever. You're going to show your country that by 
forcefully eliminating your problems, you will eventually be left with nothing.

Your truck swerves to a halt outside the front gates of the BR Zentsuji school, the
very place where BR was imagined. You get out, with nothing but your fists to fight
with. Your school uniform is still stained with the blood of your best friend. You 
step through the gates. I will make a difference.

There are secrets in all AHL maps, correct?
The secret in AHL_BattleRoyale has gradually grown over time. The original BR
secret had to undergo drastic changes before it was even found out. A huge part of
the secret and a rather impressive piece of HL scripting was removed after the end
of 2001 as the secret involved a 747 airplane.

The secret is now bigger than ever and waiting to be solved.

Can you NOCLIP cheat? No, you must activate everything in sequence to get the big
surprise at the end. If you interrupt the sequence you will break the secret.

Can you spectator cheat? No, many things are invisible and will only become visible
if you do the secret in sequence.

You cannot possibly solve the secret in any of these modes. You will also encounter
a rather nasty punishment if you try to cheat, by altering gravity, noclip cheating
or spectator cheating.

It is only possible to complete the secret in Deathmatch mode or Teamplay w/o Rounds.

Hints? It can be unlocked... Somehow. Play AHL_BattleRoyale for a while. Eventually
you'll notice a few things are out of place and you'll experiment.
Hey, you might even be able to get in to the secret.

You can't solve the end of the secret by yourself, and many of the earlier stages
are very hard if you try them by yourself.

...

I believe Hondo (of AHL_5AM and AHL_NoCredit) once said this:

If you somehow manage to full complete the secret and get to the resurrection stage,
drop me an email with the entire solution to the secret. Outline every little detail.

You'll be famous and your name will be spammed everywhere.

If you can complete resurrection... then... ?

However if I find out that you've skipped something, you'll be doomed forever.

-===========================-
?  R E S U R R E C T I O N  ?
-===========================-
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are several stages to the secret which require various modes of thinking to
complete. Resurrection is the final stage. By the time you've enabled Resurrection
you will have enabled the major part of the 'surprise'. However, if you can get
into resurrection and complete it, you will be treated to something very, very nice.
