Critical Cargo

A short singleplayer action campaign for Half-Life 2: Episode 2.

Critical Cargo:

You gain consciousness within a cubicle inside an office building. What happens next is a complete mystery.

This short action campaign was made solely by me, Jettblack, additional voice actors/artists have been credited within the campaign itself.

Installation is simple, extract contents to your Half-Life 2: Episode 2 directory.

Example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\USERNAME\half-life 2 episode two\ep2

In order to launch the campaign, open console in-game and type in: map critical_cargo2

Enjoy

Note:

I am fully aware that this short campaign is, you guessed it, short! It had to be cut off due to complications with spare time. It will be added upon and finished in the future as soon as I am completely free to do so. So, please, if you are intending on rating this submission, judge it by the experience and not the length. It was designed to give a fresh experience with the Source engine.

P.S. This contains swearing. I suggest playing it with your volume at 0% if you'll be offended.

P.S.S. If you find yourself stuck sitting around.. Observe your surroundings.

    I managed to leisurely walk out the second level here; if you keep going forward there, you'll escape through all the props.

    Ah, there appears to be a clipping issue with that model, I'll have it fixed in the future, thanks!

    Absolutely brilliant. Initialy though it ended way too soon, then it loaded the first part of the map and I realsed I started on the last section.

    The only downsides: was still a bit short, would love to see what you extend it to, and during the truck chase, when the back doors flew open there was half a second where I was watching the chasing cars and then they just vanished right before the doors closed again.

    The slow motion parts just make it so much more... awesome really, and the physics... just brilliant.

    Very little stopping me giving this a 10/10, it's just the length of it and the very minor glitch when in the truck, so a well deserved 10 it has to get.

    Aww man, I was having a whale of a time, but then it ended :(

    Way too short.

    Sorry, it'll be expanded to what it was intended to be soon. I just didn't have enough spare time to do so.

    :(

    Great to hear you liked what it had to offer though!

4th Place

Dangerous Cargo Contest

We loved seeing a campaign make it into one of our contests, and this one doesn't disappoint! Although brief this story is jam packed with explosive action and unique custom content. Many people were dissipated with the length of this map but we felt it was a pretty awesome accomplishment given the time constraints and worthy of a spot in our top 5! We really hope that Jett finds time to complete this epic campaign!

DevNotes

Firstly, this is my second official full release of a map. It is my first campaign ever compiled. If you were to contrast this submission with my first, it'll blow your socks off.

Critical Cargo is an entry for the Dangerous Cargo competition.

This small campaign was designed for pure thrill and for experimentation on what the Source Engine is capable of. It has been tested thoroughly and is made the way it is supposed to be. Aditional credits lay within the end of this campaign.

It is not long and it will be expanded in the future and possibly transformed into a complete modification.

I apologise for the rather large file size, but it does infact have custom content.

This campaign took way too long to make and had to be cut short. I injected all my efforts into this project and hope it satisfies whoever plays it.

Thanks, Have fun!
