Item description:

Not a lot of people play Half-Life 2 Deathmatch, and I don't understand why. I was tired of closed in designs of real world locations, and wanted to build something in a slightly more exotic location, so I made use of the few old snow and ice materials (and a couple of my own) and created Enzo, the now defunct clandestine rocket base used by our government during the space race. The design began literally as an isometric sketch of the exterior on a piece of paper, and the blocking out the level geometry into a playable form in the following hours.

I have a lot mapping projects I need to finish, but I didn't want to make this one of them, so I devoted all of my mapping at the time to this so that eventually it would see the light, and other people might get to play it for themselves. I detailed the environment, making thumbnail sketches of each room before construction, and built Enzo from the interior to exterior, saving finishing touches such as custom materials for the very last.
