Whole lotta' of driving out here.

Overview

hub01 is an extremely large (and very late in development) wasteland map with some basic gameplay, and even a simple puzzle! This map largely uses regular source map I/O and is fairly easy to get working mechanically (aside from the driveable APCs which are not functioning in the leak or retail). Compiling it may be a different challenge due to its size.

Gameplay Synopsis

The player starts out in an isolated corner of the map equipped only with a pistol, shotgun, and a jeep. Driving along the wasteland and avoiding packs of Antlions, the player would eventually encounter a large set of gates with fixed turrets scanning the horizon. If the player attempts to approach the gate while driving the jeep, the gates will first open then immediately shut, followed by rollermines being spawned.

At this point, the player would need to drive off in another direction and eventually run into a small outpost with a locked gate. Next to the outpost is a conveniently-placed hill that can be used as a ramp to jump the wall and crash-land the jeep into a pile of several metal barrels.

The player then exits the jeep and engages with a few scattered combine soldiers in the outpost. After dealing with the enemies, the player takes control of an idle APC and drives it out the front door, then back to the "filter gate" from earlier.

This time, the gate recognizes the APC and allows entry. Upon entering, the combine forces figure out the ruse and begin to attack the player. The player must exit the APC and fight several soldiers through a small complex. At the end of this complex is a small garage where the player descends via a catwalk and assumes control of yet another APC.

At this point, the player is free to drive off into the wasteland and run over Antlions as they see fit. The map ends unceremoniously.
