World Layout / Map of HL2

[wasp]

yeah try searching for world or map, no use duh

has anyone made an entire Map of halflife 2 like those often printed in strategy guides? I've been through the game twice and would love to see a 2-d map of the entire half-life 2 world.

thanks

Yea, there is an official Half-Life 2 strategy guide. It shows the levels from a birds eye view. I'll get some links for you in a bit.

The strategy guide maps are good. If your feeling very inspirational though, you could attempt to noclip and fly to the top of the level, the ceilings disappear. Then take screenshots of all the levels and stitch them together using a art app. Paint would be sufficient for 3-4 stitched maps but you need a powerful app to stitch all the levels together.

I wonder if their is a crazy mod or forum user who might want to attempt this :thumbs:

there was a thread a while ago where a bunch of people did this, i don't know if they finished but they did get a fair amount done.

Would be awesome if they did.

Do it yourself.

I thought there was a big argument going on becos the layout of HL2 doesn't actually work when stitched together... certain areas overlap etc. It was the same with HL wasn't it?

Something like that, though hl2's hasn't been tested. To my knowledge

Here's another thread about maps of HL2:

My own opinion is that the level overviews do not look good and are not useful. I prefer maps such as this one:

Imo what would be cool would be if there were streetmaps of City17 and Ravenholm inset into a map like the above one.

Even if they were able to attempt it, it might take up too much memory to put it down as a download. Either that or they can't fit it on anything less than A7 sheets (even if they scaled down the map)

In raising the bar, they did a mock layout of the city area using the hammer editor. There was a picture as well but I did not recognise it, apparently it was the layout of the square outside of the station plus the road network, but I couldn't see any similarities
