Thanks! It was one of my tracks I never managed to finish but liked the beat.

Epic Soundtrack in Radio :>

New tower?nicee

manhacks really ruined it for me, aside from that it was fun

Let's go!

We might even have more enemy variety then ;)

Thanks so much guys! Another tower will be constructed when the blueprints are finished. It's just a matter of when, not if.

This Gregory person is truly a cultured individual. This map is combat masterpiece!

Still my favourite combat map, I wish there was a lot more like it on the Workshop. I've played it many different times, on many different difficulties, and with many different addons. This is still my go-to map if I ever want some good vr combat. I hope to see more in the future.

amazing,beat it many times,now i just go infinite ammo and fight waves in the first level

Finally, I finished it to the end:

I really like it. Challenging combat encounters and full of action, definitely not for beginners.
Forced to keep moving and search for ammo. Need to decide fast what threat to mitigate first.
The abstract level got me, lost orientation and it was unusual to aim for me there - not a bad thing though. Will absolutely play it again.

@RS we recently patched manhack spawning issues. Are you saying the rest between waves was too short, or that there was no rest?

Just finished the map and was thoroughly impressed at the detail and quality in general. Had the same qualms about the endless enemies, but I think longer wave intervals (I see it's pending a fix) would definitely help a lot - especially since we'd potentially be needing more time searching for the RNG card spawn.

I was a also a little bit confused with finding the elevator cards since the right ones all say "Level 2". I was searching around thinking that I'd gotten a wrong card for the 3rd and subsequent levels, but perhaps this is intentional for story purposes (I recall the mission note mentioning something on this matter).

Great map, thanks!

@Kahvikone Sorry about that! I broke it in an update. The wave time is meant to be longer. Currently, there's a risk of manhacks spawning constantly. I'm working on a fix, but it'll be a little bit.

Definitely the hardest combat map to date. Got a bit frustrated at first because I got bad card spawns and didn't know if I was doing something wrong or not.

Time between waves could be slightly increased.

I have also experienced the cards just laying out on a table. I love the random aspects of this and sometimes you get lucky :)

@drpeppercan I'm not sure but every time you reload the autosave it moves to a new place. Filing cabinets and drawers were the places I've usually found them.

@Skummeh - The challenge and replay-ability are things we don't want to touch, they are great. I just wish there was an easier difficulty level than Easy! I have only managed to make it to the 3rd level so far. It's bloody tough!
Let me ask you this: Does the card appear in anything else other than drawers?

@drpeppercan Yes the ammo, grub and keycard locations are randomized. Part of the challenge and replay-ability.

Are the cards moving to different places on every round?

Wow, I finally got to play on Hardcore mode and experience the alternative ending. Bravo!!!!

Great job on this.

You've created a kind of fitness. I was sweating all over until I got to the level where everything is white. This is because I was spinning in place for a long time, and enemies were constantly appearing. Great map. It's unfair that she has such a low rating.

Thank you for the feedback! We really appreciate the feedback and ratings. Should be at least one more update to smooth everything over.

new updates are nice. Still one of the most fun maps here. Loving the new cover options.

A few videos for those interested. Spoilers within for how to enable Hardcore Mode and getting the secret ending.

I did a playthrough as well (developer build) if people needs hints, advice, or just want to learn some. https://youtu.be/_PoqRGY_tkw

Now this is my favorite Alyx map. Unfortunately, such content cannot be popular due to too good gameplay.

@FrostEP We await the God who can do it without dying. May that prophet be revealed!

@johnhill That's not the trigger. You'll know when you've triggered hardcore because your pistol won't be upgraded.

@Skummeh That was a ride of pure dedication. It was great to see you learn from every death and apply it so you don't fall into the same trap every time.

@All OK that was a lie. Here's my victorious playthru on Merciless (with many deaths) :)

https://youtu.be/dt93JiUEp5Y

I think I found "Hardcore mode" it did not make it harder, but definitely made it a fresh experience. great concept. Was the trigger flipping the card 4 times?

@ihonnyboy You nailed it with the "physical and emotional response". The immersive aspects of this experience were second to none, and that was greatly aided by the story elements in the beginning. You guys killed it with this one! Yeah a few rough spots here and there, but they were minor. I see extremely little to change here and it's nearly flawless.

@johnhill After playing it on Merciless for a bit, it's definitely "possible", but I am not the person who's gonna beat it! LOL

@Skummeh So glad you liked it! Your video was a blast too watch, and we definitely have some edges to smooth out. I loved the way you engaged with the soldiers early on (physically and emotionally). Felt A lot more personal between you and the enemies--which was exactly the feeling I was hoping to recapture. You can thank Frost for the much more difficult top floors, I mostly redid the early ones, and chimed in now and again on the others. It was awesome to watch as he and I learned so much about using Combine.

BTW. I totally love the random elements in the game. If you die, you can not rely on the resources you saw previously. And sometimes god is merciful and gives you what you need. Love this mod.

Skummeh, lets see you beat this on hard with Merciless. Impossible!

How many times can Skummeh die in one game? Let's find out! This map, especially with the redesign, is an instant classic.

Cool, I will look for it. Great work!

@johnhill Hardcore mode changes the weapon upgrades, pacing and scale of enemy waves, and enemy and item placements. It also unlocks a secret ending. The how to unlock it is hidden in the map.

This was a total blast! Great improvements from the original. Is "hardcore mode" just playing on Hard? Thanks so much.

I just read that entire updated CQB guide and learned so much. Thanks for sharing! Gonna play tomorrow. And yes, I'm also gonna try Merciless :D
