Port Klax

Description
Within the outskirts of City 17, lies a mysterious port. No one knows why its there, or what its purpose is. The Resistance and Combine maps don't even show this area. It was only recently discovered by the second group of Resistance members who were on their way to Black Mesa East. They used it as a temporary shelter for the night and headed out soon after in the early morning. It was given the name "Port Klax.", and word of the port soon found its way to the rest of the Resistance.




This map was born from a scrapped map that takes place in City 17 during dawn. It was a test to see how much I could stick to the Half-Life 2 aesthetic while pushing it slightly. The whole look was coming together really nicely but I wasn't able to get the level detail I wanted to out of it, so I scrapped it. There was no point in continuing to work on something that isn't going to plan. Then, the idea for an abandoned port came through and I reused the left overs from City 17 at Dawn to work on this. What's left of it boils down to the layout and some props.

i like to think that after black mesa a few security guards and scientists found this place and took refuge here then left after the combine invaded

During the raid on Black Mesa East, Combine forces were able to find Resistance maps locating this exact same area. With no knowledge of this location, Combine forces in City 17 sent a squad to investigate. It was only from this moment that the Combine had obtained knowledge of Port Klax. Various Combine technology advanced to this location including Forcefields to protect against Resistance invaders who already knew this location, several Manhack dispensers and more. During the Uprising, the Combine were hit hard and quick by Resistance forces in this area. Using the leftover ships in the port the Resistance escaped to the coast once the citadel went boom boom. Once they realized they needed to get to White Forest they were a bit too far.

It's not based on any beta map. I based it on Route Kanal in the retail version
