Raising the Bar is a mod based off of the idea of amalgamating the earliest concepts of Half-Life 2 into a coherent story. This mod is not a leak-fix, nor is it a concept art recreation gallery; it will be a full story with inspiration from the old material as well as our own ideas of how to make it all fit together.

Description
Along with the changes to Industrial and Eli's Hideout, we have also begun work (At least SirEgon has,) on a new level! Can you guess what it is?
vertigo?
Not exactly :D
The consul's office? :P
By the way, amazing update, guys!
Overwatch Nexus? I imagine so because most places in City 17 not made (or used) by the Combine would be dirty and falling apart.
@savi467- It's not the Consul's office. :)
@radiation_hazard- Nope, not the Nexus. Good try though.
Wait so is this a new level thought up by you guys or was it meant for the game originally?
This was an area that could be played in the HL2 leak, so we didn't make it up. We're just giving it a good visual overhaul.
Alright well I give up.
I really feel like those wooden panels should be modeled in 3ds Max and then put on the wall. Feels a bit to flat, although I like the idea so far.
Everything is WIP. The map will look amaizing when its done. Its still in early stages of development
Yes, I am aware it is a work in progress, I am providing my feedback. I cannot wait to see how it will turn out in the end, let me tell you. :)
Or parallax occlusion mapping - I think source is capable doing this, right?

Manhack arcade? Combine factories?
Could it be the Skyscraper that you crash into?
You've got one part right :P
One part? Do you mean a specific part of the Skyscraper? If so it's the museum.
One part of your response is right. Although I don't want to give too much away, I can say this; If it is the skyscraper, you do know there were two made at separate points in time? Now you guys need to figure out which it would be, if it is indeed one of them.
You guys are getting close!
This is going to be tough. o_o
Also I thought that the two versions of the Skyscraper were Vetigo and the mueseum. If not do you mean that you won't be crashing into it?
You do crash into both according to the leaked map files, but we are changing one version a bit to make it more interesting and different from the other.
Ok, good to hear! :)
My final guess would be the palace. I did some more research and found a final adaptation of it. Also really nice mode so far!
Museum?
It's the palace.
palace?
