AT A GLANCE: A hall of death. Also, a medium-sized room of death. Also, the death of your eyesight. Fuckloads of death. Oh, and did I mention that this is still the best Half-Life map I’ve reviewed to date?

DESCRIPTION: The author of Hall of Death calls his creation “a small nice map”. There’s probably some irony somewhere in that sentence but I’m really too lazy to look for it right now. The text file also contains a link to Captain Dipshit’s “Hompe page” which, of course, is down. I guess Angelfire took exception to being associated with such a stupid map. I can hardly blame them. Hell, I’m embarrassed just to be reviewing it.

THE MAP:

The entire map.

Hall of Death gets its name from the small “u”-shaped hallway filled with horrible puke-green lighting that will make players want to delete Half-Life and uninstall their eyes. The other room is some kind of gay disco nightclub and ground zero in a heated battle between 20 different kinds of strobe lights. There’s a shitload of breakable glass and also, buckle the fuck up, a breakable wall! Sort of! The health on the thing is set to like 9000 so let’s hope you’ve been stocking up on those rockets, chunky.

GAMEPLAY: A few spawn points and some weapons are present. It might be okay in deathmatch if you’re terminally bored or have a serious hard-on for the color green.
