A standalone map series created solely for Brutal Half-Life.
I made this because Xen (alien world) setting in Half-Life inspired the heckens out of me as a kid. Ironically, people seem to generally associate the setting with the gameplay of the original maps within that setting, during the original game, which admittedly were not well designed or fun. So it'd been a long time desire of mine to render my own interpretation of how intense that setting could've been.

Nightshade, my other Brutal Half-Life release: Moddb.com
BHL turning into a platform for fast-paced action maps and having its on addons is very good.
Yeah and it's well deserved, truly a fantastic mod.
How to install it and play?
The map looks fine but I don't like how the enemy is spawn all at once and at every corner.
Holy christ. This map is horrible. Literally throws enemies at you, leaving you no chance. There's constant spawns where enemies will be in packs of 10 or more. It's got no balance, and goes against everything half-life is about.
This mappack is frustrating, it took me 40 minutes for beat it, okay, it's good looking levels but too much aliens to take them down that I have to waste sometime BFG ammo or desert eagle and there's not even any single rocket launcher!
Thank you to the one person who played this campaign and gave actually constructive criticism. Due to the fact that the majority of this criticism has just been people ******** on everything about it, I've withdrawn from making content for this community because it's clearly not worth it. I spent two months on Oxygen, the effort in the map geometry shows and yet I don't feel glad that I made it because all I've heard is how "bad" it is apparently is in every conceivable way. I would appreciate anybody still surfing these posts to not send me anymore messages asking for more content because I don't enjoy feeling like I've wasted my time making content for people who don't appreciate even the time it took for me to make it. Not enjoying the gameplay of the maps is fine, but unfairly treating my work as if it 'destroys the fabric of Half-Life' is a considerable demotivator. There are plenty of other projects I enjoy putting my time into, I never needed to make this: I just figured it would be appreciated. I was wrong.
I made Nightshade first Moddb.com and then Oxygen, I'll be leaving these listings up for anyone that still wants to download and play them but stop expecting more. I can't be ****** to bother.
i played it and had fun
still making maps like this one i really liked it, ¿but you can make an "Normal" dificulti version of the map?, because some people are complaining about the map is very difficult
I played it and absolutely loved it. Most people complaining are just having a skill issue.
Literally changes gravity for no reason then spawns 30 enemies in every corner and gives 0 ammo. Then crashes due to the absurd amount of enemies present.
The gravity is the way it is because it lets you circle-strafe more easily.
Edit: Also, you have plenty of ammo for a variety of weapons there. Just manage your resources properly, aim at the correct body parts, and you will win.
PacmanYT09 The ("literally no") reason that I changed the gravity was to match the gravity of Half-Life 1's Xen. You might try playing the original game that a mod is based on before making such brain damaged criticisms.
