Hey, a friend of mine and I would like to comment on your map. We really enjoyed it -- got all the way to what appears to be the final puzzle, but then we had to stop (considering, well, it's 5AM and I have to be up in a few hours.) Unfortunately, this means we'll never be able to complete this map because neither one of us wants to run through everything again.

You've made a great map here, and we're going to play your other maps, too, but in the future, it'd be great if these huge maps were split into smaller portions. It's really not feasible for most players to be able to sit through many hours of gaming. Not only that, but a disconnect could easily cause players to have to redo the entire thing.

Thanks for the map, though, it was good fun!

Alright, I'm going to update this today with a checkpoint map. Which will allow players to resume from half-way through.

1.13:

- Added mp_coop_halfosity, which allows players to resume the map from immediately after the triangle chamber.
- If your computer is struggling with the standard map, consider reloading into halfosity after re-entering the HUB from the triangle chamber. Halfosity guts out many idle entities and may reduce the CPU load.

i really have to say: this map was very much fun to play! a friend and i worked on it for about 4 hours (incl. lunch-break and we both loved it. great puzzles, especially the room where only one of the two robots can do something!
so please: do your next map, we are looking forward to it!
cheers

DUDE are you serious ?
You made such a freaking hard map and then you dont even make an ending?!?
Me and my friend expected something awesome like the train goes back to earth cause you could see it trough the roof or something like that.
And yo just make this crap normal fadeout bs -.-

The ending is abrupt because I simply ran out of space. As in, I couldn't add anything else without breaking the map. I won't be making a single map this large again, this was just a one-off experiment.

Me and a friend just played through this in one sitting! Took us about 4 hours and 30 minutes (I forgot about dinner..)

GREAT MAP! A bit hard and frustrating at parts, but overall really good.

Just some things to remark:

- Going for the third part, it was a bit hard to spot the portal surface behind the bars.
- Part four, the ball actually made us have to use cheats. It fell down and landed on one of the edges under the laser, so we couldn't put a portal under it to get it out. This was quite frustrating to find out after playing for so long.

Also, in the last part, we didn't move the ball around at all like some other here stated. Not sure if this was intended, but we got one person on each button behind the emancipation grids and took it from there.

For lpfreaky90 & Djinndrache: How did you not manage to realize you could put a portal in the roof above the glass thingie in the hub in the end?

Once again, thanks for letting us play this great map!

Here is our playthrough (un-edited and with me rambling in swedish) if anyone wants to watch it.

(If anyone wonders what the hell happened at around 33 minutes in, my game got crazy after going through an acceleration loop and kept spinning my mouse around insanely. I could not move straight nor turn the mouse the way I wanted)

I think the main issue is that because it was on a short portal surface it needed to be aimed at from the right angle. I don't think cheats were required to resolve the issue, but after a few hours on this map everyone starts to go a little stir-crazy. (standing directly above the edge, looking down towards the surface)

Glad that you enjoyed the map.
