According to our Intel, the North Koreans military have occupied this
dead volcanic island and have built a Nuclear Weapons Facility somewhere in it's core,
your orders are to find this facility, infiltrate it, and discover a way to destroy it.

We have no detailed information about the Island, you're going to be deployed as far away from
enemy sightings as possible, after that, you are free to choose your course of action,
use whichever path you can find that leads into the center of the island.

Make use of the nano-suit, and adapt to the specif conditions of this rocky terrain.

To your aid, during the night, we have deployed three resupply drops with weapons,
ammunition and gadgets, make use of them if possible or necessary.

Over and out, god speed.

-5----Personal Notes-------------------------------------

Took me around six months to finish this map, editor learning included in that time.
Now that I'm finished with it, I only hope you're gonna have as much fun playing it as I had
developing it.
I want to thank everyone who supported me, and always were willing to give me good and useful
feeback, especialy the guys over at mapcore, and Seed Studios, the company i work at!
Without all these people, I'd never would have made it!

Beta testers and advisors:

Adius_Omega

FrieChamp
Buddy the designer
My beloved girlfriend!
(And everyone else, who posted good c&c on my threads)

WARNING:
Be careful while using custom configs when playing this map.
Simply because I tweaked the ToD, and Ambient Occlusion,
to look the best with Default Crysis settings, therefor while using
custom configs, you might get very dark results.

Although, if you want to use my Ultra High Quality Config 1.3.1,
then please, insert the following command in the console, to ease up
the overall darkness of the map:

r_ssao_amount=0.2

Oo. WOHOOOHHAHHHHH!! Dude you're nailing some pretty impressive visuals here! Looks better then most Crysis screenshots I've seen.

[[hP]]

thanks guys! =D

[requiem2d]

Nice work hP, the assets and environment feel nicely "welded" together. What env pieces did you create? Cheers

[brad-w]

Crikey- some of those shots look superb! Well done!
Done for Folio or for a project at work?

Very impressive.

[[hP]]

requiem2d, EVERY single piece of geometry on this map is from Crytek, I didn't created a single asset used in this map, this was just created on my free time for personal joy.
Although, I'm an environment artist, and I wan't to keep progressing in that field, i also love creating playable levels from start to finish, and that's what I did here, and the compo was a motivator for me to finish this!

brad-w, folio!

[brad-w]

ah I see- still nice job with their prefabs. the terrain in particular looks very good- nice distribution of foliage too.
