Description
Trek to Borealis was originally made, as a short Half-life 2 ep2 map created for a competition, done in under 50 Hours by me.

The theme was to create a short Half-life 3 inspired level.

I decided to choose a part from the illusive "borealis" known in half-life's on-going story when making it.

The map is about 15-20 minutes long

There is a lot of bugs and issues (as it was made in such a short time) Maybe I will return one day and make an update, but for now enjoy it as it was released years ago.

Please enjoy a taste of "Ep3"!

Yeah Ive been a bit wrong in my last comment. Let me explain myself. I totaly forget this map was created for a contest so there are some negative and positive sides. Positive: the map actually looks beautiful. Alyx have some replics. Combine soldiers have their new winter skin. Negative: the combine fields (specifically one in a cave) is a solid object even for a bullets, so you cant shoot them and they make some interesting interaction with Alyx. The meshes of the sidewalk is... well... Half-Life 1 level of detail. The choper sequence is bad and good at the same time. I didnt liked the idea of shooting the copter with rpg so it drops bombs. While it drops bomb after the impact the heli just go south in all the ways possible so you cant reach it with the bomb. The sequence of it doing bayblade is funny tho, I liked it. And the last thing I really dissatisfied is the Borealis which apears as "func_tracktrain" with not so many paths just looks really funky.

Well, what can you do when you get 50 hours in a jam to make it.

This is the worst ep3 map Ive seen yet ngl

yea most people forget that detail, and the chopper was too far and over a canyon to grab the bombs

I guess no one here has ever played Half-Life 2 EP2... No one ever uses the mines it drops to kill it, which only takes like 3-4 hits, the rpg only makes it drop the mines, but barely does any damage

I didnt have any time left when making the map to change it but if I ever go back to update this map I will probably change it to be a gunship
