Further Data Maps

I went back & played Half-life’s demo Half-Life: Uplink not too long ago & as the demo ends the screen fades to black & the words “further data needed” pop up on the screen. Well, I just remembered that valve actually made a free promotional CD called Further Data that contains 5 deathmatch maps not included in the retail version of Half-Life:

  • doublecross
  • rustmill
  • team9
  • thehill
  • xen_dm

I’m just curious to see the opinions of the maps by those who hadn’t played them before & who’d be interested in seeing these maps be remade for Black Mesa.

Why the hell am I only just hearing about this?! I’ll have to download that this evening and check them out.

Interesting, those are deathmatch maps, right?

Think so.

Indeed they are.

Oh ok, in that case who cares :stuck_out_tongue:

DEATHMATCH

Normally I’d be one to agree with you. I’m not a big fan of multiplayer in general, but I figured since this is content released by valve for Half-Life 1, I thought there might be people interested in seeing some of it remade in Black Mesa: Deathmatch.

I also thought that some people here might get to play these maps for their first time & be able to give their opinions of the maps without being completely clouded by nostalgia goggles.

I want to see xen_dm in Black Mesa. I love those Further data maps.

I always though it was strange that HLDM didn’t have a single official Xen map, then when I found out it did I saw these maps weren’t listed on the BMDM Map category of the wiki. Sadly it seems we’re the only ones who want to see xen_dm in Black Mesa.

A shame that this thread got moved to the Half-Life subforum, when I meant for it to go in the Suggestion Box.

Seeing as BMDM development isn’t being focused on for the time being, I’d think you still have some time to suggest these as viable maps.

noone ever atemp to recreate any of theese maps in source engine, this is sad
i searched all the googel and internetz

Most players probably don’t know it exists, sadly. A few of the maps are already in the Steam HL, but I had no idea there was a xen deathmatch map. That sounds cool- it would probably be the only map where low gravity would be the map default.

That’s what I had intended. It was moved here from The Cafeteria. :frowning:
