Named Game of the Year by over 50 publications, Valve's début title blends action and adventure with award-winning technology to create a frighteningly realistic world where players must think to survive. Also includes an exciting multiplayer mode that allows you to play against friends and enemies around the world.

Description

Haphazard is a short map with the goal of making the player experience something different (and mostly outrageous) in each section. Let the randomness and haphazardry commence!

This is actually a pretty great map! Good work, Psy.

I did record a quick playthrough, but before watching it I would HIGHLY encourage people play the map for themselves - a lot of the charm is being surprised by what's here, and you should really experience that firsthand.

So go play it, THEN watch as I almost drown in a pretty hilarious fashion.

(Forgot to mention: the custom weapon models aren't part of the map, those are just what I have installed)

I said honest, what did you give it, a 3/10?
Damn :)

I gave it a 9.

Afraid it's someone else who's knocked down your average :(

Nah, I'm just kidding.

I know who does it though, and to that person who's surely reading this: You keep this childish, pathetic game up and you'll be surprised next time you log on.

Not a bad little map. Lots of variety in the gameplay and combat encounters and some great comedic elements. Also, taking on the Ichthyosaur was one HELL of a challenge.

A few nit picks from a mapper's perspective. A lot of the details like pipes and barrels don't appear to be tied to an entity, so they carve up the brushes they make contact with and mess up the lighting in places. Doesn't affect gameplay, but would help your map compile a little faster. :D

One thing that does affect the gameplay is that there doesn't appear to be a nodegraph, so even on the Hard setting I was able to cheese a lot of the fights by glock sniping around corners and the enemies couldn't find/attack me.

Also, for all the difficult encounters / instant death traps earlier in the map, it'd be nice to have an autosave or two there so that I didn't get kicked back to some random quicksave in another map. :(

But overall, good fun. :D

Hey just finished with it, I really liked it, it is the only time I will ever see appropiate usage of comedy in a HL map. Very good looking and fun to play, nicely done! I am also kind of curious about all the maps you show in your profile, aren't you planning to release them? Because they look genuinely good...

Some I do, some I think of making a part of something bigger.

Though I think I'll publish at least one of them, since it looks fine and is pretty much completed.

Really fun map to be played and I hate how I got jumpscared by Thurgood Marshall, I was really getting into the map man : (
Overall, it's worth the play and it's short, won't cause you 1 hour if you're quick.... or not.
9 / 10, Good map.
