Story:
The truth about Dr. Breen is, that he is a big fan of the Japanese TV Show "Takeshis Castle", and he is very dissapointed that it endet in 1989.
So he caused the Black Mesa Accident, and Collaborated with the Combine to become the Administrator of the Earth, to get a 24/7 TV Show to do everything he want on there.
So he recreated his favourite TV Show, to entertain himself and the Citizens.
He builded a Mini-Citadel and a lot of his favourite Games on the Show´s Property.
The Contestants are Prisoned Rebels, who have a chance to get free if they beat all 8 Deadly Stages and Breen Himself at the End.

After the Show Start Button is pressed the players have 25 Seconds to get into the Start Area to enter the Show. Players whore to late have to wait for the next Show.
ImageImage

These are the Original Stages in Order of appereance on the Map:

The Great Wall
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
The players have to stack Crates and Tables in order to get over the Wall in 45 Seconds.
Image

The First Fortress
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
The players have Pistols and 50 Life Points, and have to get over the Fort.
Image

The Crowbar Arena
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
The players have to beat 1 of 6 Randomly Chosen NPC´s (Zombie, Fast Zombie, Zombine, Metrocop with Stunstick, Antlion, Antlionguard) with just 10 Life Points and a Crowbar.
Image

Dragon Lake
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
Each player has 12 Seconds to get over the Lake, every Stone is just floating on the Water, so be careful!
Image

Square Maze
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
All players can enter it at the same time.
You have to find the Exit, dont run into a Stunstick Combine, you just have 15 Life Points (can take 3 Hits), and dont fall into the Water!
The players on top of the Maze maybe can help the players inside.
ImageImage

Door Running
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
One of 3 Doors in each of 4 Walls is Unlocked, be fast and try the doors, if youre to slow a Combine Shieldwall will Kill you!
ImageImage
Image
Avalanche
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
All players can enter it together, you have to run up, and cover in the little gaps at the side, but be careful not to block another player!
ImageImage

High Rollers
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
4 Wheels are between you and the Citadel, get on the other side!
If you fall down, youll have to fight the Final Battle with just 65 Life Points!
ImageImage

Show Down
Original Show:
Image
My Remake:
Grab Weapons, charge your shield, and enter the final Battle.
Around 2 Dozen Combines and 1 Gunship awaits you.
Youve won when you killed Dr. Breen on top of his Citadel, hiding in a little Room, and well protected by Mr. Henderson.

The Breen Death Cam:

(All Original Show Pictures and Descriptions from www.keshiheads.co.uk)

If Dr. Breen is dead, the map Ends, if all players on the Stage are dead, you have to wait 1 minute and 15 Seconds before you can start a new Show. A player who died is out until the next show.
But he can watch from the Spectator Platform, or drive around on the "Dumb Circle Driving" Ring, and try to hit some Houndeyes.
Overall the map is really hard, and you need much luck and skill to beat it.

-->Download<-- (link updated!)
-->The Breens Citadel Theme Song Composed and played by me (its also packed in the Map, but I think maybe someone want to have this crap as MP3)<--

If you like the map Ill create more "Seasons", with other Stages taken from the Original Show. If you have some Ideas, Suggestions or Bug Reports, PM me.

Sounds intresting. Ill download and play it right now infact.

Tried it. It was quite fun and well made but it got quite boring when i was alone and also quite hard. Im sure itll play better with more players.

I noticed that I can map better when I leave my Instant Messengers (ICQ, MSN) turned off. :D

Before that I always chatted while I mapped, and that way I never really got finished a map.
But the last few weeks, I havent chatted that much, and as you can see, I released 5 Maps in such a short time.^^
Maybe I also gained so much motivation because I started learning a Occupation. xD
Anyway, my Mapping Tip:
More Mapping, less Chatting!

Ah, so it was you playing testing the map on that locked server.

Sounds fun, will be sure to try it.

It just hit me, is mr. Henderson a possible tribute to Concerned?

At the Bottom of the first Post.
I always put the links on the bottom of the post, so the People have to see all Screens and maybe read the Descriptions, and dont just Download it without knowing what is it about.

This is a very interesting map.
Instantly, it set up in Z-Server.

"Takeshi citadel" is the program which was often being watched, when I am a child.
In Japan, it is called "Fuuun Takeshi jyo".

I also tried to make the map from this subject matter in the past.
The stance to mapping of yours and me is alike. :)

Now, I have noticed about this map.
When houndeye is stepped on and crushed in a circular ring in a buggy, a server may crash.
