Back Story
---------------------------------------------------

Before I begin, Let me be perfectly honest here. I've been working on this map for quite some time now. But mostly, I've been completely slacking off to a point where I just stopped working on it. I never really had the time to finish the ending since I've been lazy. So instead of letting it rot in my computer for the rest of my life, I decided to release the most completed, bug-free version I have to the general audience. The only thing that isn't completed is the final mission near the end. Think of it as a new years gift from me. So here you go. Cheers! Here's to another lousy year. I hope you enjoy my map as much as I did creating it.

Map Description
---------------------------------------------------

A small scout team has been sent inside a biogenetic development facility to respond from a urgent distress signal located inside. You and two squads along with bravo and delta will continue to advance inside to intercept the signal. There has been reports of unknown, and possibly, enemy activity inside the facility. If we act fast, we can solve our problems discreetly without bringing attention to the mass media. After the last event, when top-secret documents were leaked to the public, we do not want to start another uprising. This is a high profile mission and failure is not an option. Stay frosty.

Please feel free to report any glitches, or bugs. I'll do my best to fix them.

Seems neat.
Damn you for hacking.
The file is pretty big ;o

I'll also be releasing a regular edition. It's basicly a smaller file size but it misses out on some extra sounds and stuff. The special edition is just the way it's suppose to be played in the first place.

Maps with sfx are always better when it's like this. I liked the first one, btw Hopefully this one is better/the same fun, even though I bet it is
Also, how did you disable the minimap? Is that ingame or did you photoshop it out?

That was a pretty hard play.
My team failed

Only because Scout's gun reloads in a year. :/

Who needs photoshop? Lol jk i opened in paint and just blacked it out. I thought it would ruin some parts if u knew exactly where the screenshots were from.
The game can be hard. But it's not impossible. You can two man this map if your good enough.

Psh I like hax, I took some of the pics by the way xD Easier to save pictures and all. Win map Deku and it's worth it having the file big. All must play it

New links are up. I was FINALLY able to upload TSE2 on the SEN database. Also, The regular edition is up and ready for download.
Because some people complained about the massive file size in public games. I don't blame you.

The regular edition is meant to cut down on the file size making the download bearable in public games.
What this means is, I compressed sounds to a point where the quality is lower but not by a lot,
and deleted a few unnecessary sounds to cut down on file size. E.g. Delta Squad's communication sounds

The special edition contains more goodies and stuff than in the regular. But the special isn't really meant for public games.
So enjoy!

Also. . . There's a secret in game. Let's see if anyone can find it. . .
. . .WITHOUT HACKS. THAT MEANS YOU LEON. . .

Downloaded this, will be giving it a go soon. Sounds fun though.

This is a good map. I like it when a monster comes out of nowhere and there's a scary noise and your screen centers and it's gone. Fun map, although you could've added something like grenades, and the scout in my game was complaining all the time because his gun took 3 years to reload and reloaded after every shot.

Great map I hope you finish last mission soon. The only real thing that surprised me was Delta's squads new orders and the separation of the squad. The horror isn't too scary but occasionally I jump at my own allies gunfire.

Gah, me and my team died in that one area where zealots and goons started pouring out several rooms. Fun map.

So did mine the first time but the second time we stayed together and advanced through them, they aren't hard once you know it's coming

could you change the font on the op? I would read it, but i am not reading that font/i can't read that font.

hehe, 3 years later

Psh I don't use hacks! Well I do but it still doesn't help either way D: Tell me the secrets, I want to know

Played this. It was excellent.

Only thing that's lacking is background eerie/ambient music. Then it'd be perfect.

hmm what else can I complain about... ...
there was one part where Mutas are spawned after the player's been thru that part and turn on the computer... I was afk for a bit, so i was left behind, and then spawned mutas just raped me...

For these parts.. maybe make it so that all available players must be next to the computer to activate it? (but it's a small problem... don't have to do it...) May be good to prevent sm dudes just rushing ahead and by accident or by purpose raping all his allies.

How do you get the apm thing?

please tell me how do i get one
