Intro
------------
By way of introduction, I am "Redclaw" and I have spent the last 4 years mapping for AVP2. I also served as a map reviewer for PlanetAVP.
About 6 months ago I jumped in the Half Life 2 arena feet first. It's been a total blast and I love the HL2 world.
If play AVP2 and would like to check out those maps please PM me.
Description
------------
A dark, dreary detention center for society castoffs and undesirables. Terrible experiments were conducted on those poor souls.
DM Larkhill Detention Center is loosely based on the "V for Vendetta" Larkhill detention center. This represents my very first
map and it was a learning map for me. You will find aspects of Lockdown and Kliener’s lab in this map so it is not a 100% original
work from me. Yes I did do a little copy and pasting but I did do a lot of customization to those copied works. I made this map to
learn how to use the Hammer map editor/world creator and get my feet wet mapping for HL2. While I don’t think this map is half bad,
it is not up to my current standards or level of effort I am capable of doing. However, don’t get me wrong, this map is fun and very playable.
And with all my maps there are fun secrets and Easter eggs to find. I am guessing that 6 to 10 players are the right number for this size map.
"And thus I clothe my naked villainy, With old odd ends, stol'n forth of holy writ; And seem a saint, when most I play the devil." - Richard III

WARNING
------------
Changing the map name from "dm_larkhill_detention_cntr_v1.bsp" to anything else will cause
all the special visual effects (specularity) to stop working as the cubemaps have been compiled
for this map filename only. Basically the map will look like crap if you change it's name.
My Thanks
------------
Testors: My longtime friend "Longknives" who diligently got blasted all over this map for me.
Map Inspiration: "V for Vendetta" and dm_resistence.
Other: To the folks at Valve for making Half Life 2.
