To everyone posting layout plans: Half-Life levels ARE square, so why does everyone post wide pics and places the layout in the leftmost square?!? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
First of all, are the red ones the only nodes? Because the upper res node is just inbetween the to spawns so it might be difficult to hold as a start node.

Hey wait! You are the same guy I already replied in another topic with the same suggestion. Crap, I knew I had seen this layout style before.

nerd did, not me. i'm just politely hinting at that fact.

Well it's still a good start for a layout.
The problem is, besides the loop, the hives, and the marine spawn, there are no other "main" areas and open rooms like for example, the MOTHER INTERFACE in ns_nancy, or the CARGO room in ns_tanith, or even the generator room in ns_nothing.

Endless hallways which don't connect to each other are NOT good.
Every "long" hallways should have at least 3 exits, not counting vents that connects to them.

CaLFiN

Maybe there's too many vents leading into the hives? Might be easy for jetpackers to take a hive from the vent.

Shadowics

The hives are supposed to have vents for the aliens to crawl through. Just prevent the marines from using the vents.
