Description
Forlorn - Bomb/Defuse
by Will2k

Forlorn is a bomb defuse map heavily inspired by old-school Half-Life and Opposing Force, a sort of homage to the Black Mesa Research Facility.

The theme is a freshly evacuated and dismantled military research facility that is mostly emptied by now but still in rather pristine condition. An anarchist group is preparing to raid the recently abandoned base to blast open some secure doors and loot available chemical and hazardous content.

Several Half-Life Easter eggs (visuals and sounds) are scattered around the map :)

The map supports 64 players (32 vs 32) and features FBI vs Anarchists . A manually-tuned nav file with place names is included for bot play.

Special thanks to Squad, RZL, Vaya, jackophant, Puddy, Bevielis, Terri, Andre Valera, Logic, General Vivi, Fnugz, tomm, and MaanMan for their feedback and playtesting, and a big shout-out to the mapcore community.

Enjoy the map.

I'm not very good at Counter-Strike, so while I can't say whether or not it plays well, I *can* say is that this is, without a doubt, my favourite modern interpretation of Half-Life's visual style and BMRF's architectural style. The guard towers, the design of the exterior walls, the coloured lines in the interior walls, the crates... it all brings back memories without ever being a straight up copy of any of them. Even the layout of the map seen from above is reminiscent of layouts from the HL1 quadrulogy.

Which brings me to my question:

Have you considered uploading the map to Garry's Mod's workshop? The game supports CS:GO maps as they are, and I can confirm this map works perfectly fine thanks to its age, so all you'd need to do is set up the addon page and make it clear that mounting CS:GO is required. I'd really love to be able to play on it with my friends in Sandbox and have more people know about the map. It's rare to see love letters to the older games such as this.

Reminds me of how everyone were after that bomb Black Ops placed under BMRF. Amazing map!

Reminds me of a mix of minestorm, prodigy and the HL DM maps. Great work.http://steamcommunity-a.akamaihd.net/economy/emoticon/csgoa
