gm_brutalist_desolation

This structure is a massive concrete facility left abandoned many years before the seven hour war. Its a remnant of an old classified Soviet project, of which its purpose has been lost to time. the high altitude and strong concrete made it impossible for any Xen wildlife to take root here, and thus it seems the Combine empire saw fit to start constructing and expanding their network here, most likely as a strategic position for further expansion north-east. It seems however, that even this project was abandoned not long after construction had started. Now all that remains are remnants of two cruel empires, both seemingly unable to take root here successfully.

this is a medium sized map thats mainly meant for exploration, but you can also do some nextbot runs, and just good old gmod goofing around! however there is no navmesh yet so keep that in mind!
Also, some areas might need a flashlight.


COPYRIGHT INFO FOR ANYONE WANTING TO PLAY, FILM, AND UPLOAD TO YOUTUBE:
this map includes a track from half-life titled "Black Mesa Inbound"
I dont really know if this song is copyrighted, but in case it is, i suggest putting your music volume slider to zero.
Also, if you feature my map in a video i'd appreciate a link to this page in the description. if you dont, im not the type of person to go after you for that, but it would be nice if you did!


Special thanks and inspirations:
the general atmosphere of the map was largely inspired by polish surrealist artist zdzislaw beksinski (rest in peace)
I also really wanted to make a map after i watched a couple of The Librarian's gmod exploration videos, i suggest you check him out as his videos are great! (also, huge thanks to Dylan Packard for featuring this map and gm_corpus_memorae in his new map gm_indoorspaces, i highly recommend checking his stuff out as its safe to say he's one of the best map creators around right now, dare i say even the greatest)
