Kosovo 2000 addon - Half-Life

Kosovo 2000 January 1: As the map starts, you are the sole surviving member of your Nato Section. As you come around from a mortar blast, you see your Section Leader lying dead at your feet. What had been a routine Nato peace-keeping patrol in the streets of a border town in Kosovo has turned into disaster. With all communications knocked out by unexpected Y2K bugs, the tenuous peace between Serbian forces and the KLA has broken down and each side is in a state of war. Russian Sikorsky helicopters have entered the fighting and your Section has been caught in the crossfire. Unfortunately, due to the breakdown in all communications, your Section did not receive orders to withdraw from the battle zone..... You are on your own. The situation is hopeless and your chances of survival are almost nil. The least you can do is to avenge your fallen comrades and get those damned choppers that are responsible for their deaths. But you cannot afford to miss, there are only 2 rockets with 2 choppers to destroy..... As you make your dangerous way through the streets, your thoughts will wander for you are all alone. You think of your home and loved ones and you will ask yourself why you ever came to this wartorn country to fight in a war that is none of your making.... Good luck Private John Kew! Some Design Notes: This is a stark and dramatic map. It really has no features other than as a theatre for war. The lighting is intense and the textures are employed to create almost a sense of the "black and white" nature of war. The map has no "gizmos"; it does not even have an exit. There really is no way out... (There will be when I finish the next map in this series....). I tried to make the map look more like a documentary than a piece of glitzy fiction. Nothing glamorous here - but I think it has an excitement of its own. There is no climax or point to this map. It is designed to be pointless, and is no more than what it is claimed to be: a shoot-out.
