HL2RP [Unofficial] Map Suggestions Thread

[Reggie]

we used this less than a year ago for WW3RP and it still left a sour taste in my mouth lol

who cares, dress it up with some combine props. wah wah wah, the amount of maps we have now for roleplay are the amount of maps we're going to have for the foreseeable future. if you go by "oh we used this map eight months ago..." you're going to run out of maps, no new maps are coming. just use what we have, no one gives a shit if it was used a while back.

onion city has grand potential if you make use of the space well

although i think it would be more apt to call that map a cityrp map more than anything else... i cant see anything but relatively stable cityscape in it

Again. RP takes place in Eastern Europe, namely Ukraine currently. Bit odd to have the most American looking maps for a HL2RP set in eastern Europe

there are so many gmod RP maps, idk why it has to be a repeat one

You are in a brain prison. The setting can be whatever we want it, and we can justify it ICly if need be. Plus the map we're currently on is painfully American

How do you justify IC going from Ukraine to America in the HL2 setting

Also there's plenty of eastern Europe maps that can be used and balanced nicely

In previous iterations, we went from Eastern Europe to Korea, Japan, etc., nothing limits yourself except your mind.

Going from eastern Europe to Asia is one thing. Going from eastern Europe to the Americas however is another thing

is it really? what's preventing us? a giant red 'X' on a globe in half-life alyx?

What if union city was a city we arrive to to cause an insurrection

how do you transport a few dozen rebels from eastern europe to america?

plane? helicopter? you'd just get shot down IF you were to find an aircraft in working condition and that is a big IF. not to mention fuel. you'd need something like a boeing 747 to go from eastern europe to america provided it has enough fuel and you dont just get a missile shoved up the tail

viably maybe teleportation technology would work but where would you get that kind of stuff from

realistically there is no way to get from eastern europe to america in this setting without literally teleporting

cant tell if youre being sarcastic or not but even if they did how do they get past air defenses and where do they get enough fuel to get to america

bro we literally are allied with aliens from beyond time and space torn from their seventh dimension and they ate humans and killed humans for years before we allied with them why does it matter that there's some realism to what we do

solution:

xenian fuckery, then we spend a while in america, maybe maps set around as we 'travel' back to europe again across numerous maps over months

how do you transport a few dozen rebels from kyiv/sofia to tokyo and back again and there again and back again 7 times over? why wouldn't they be shot down flying over all of china, or the korean peninsula, or india, or the other areas? there were combine-controlled areas all over the area between city 17 and city 8 in helix¹, and ultimately nobody gave a shit; nobody would give a shit now if it happened, either, because trying to break your head open as to how it would possibly make sense to completely cycle out an entire workforce population to go to another city (ALONG with the entire civil protection department) is senseless; that isn't the point, after all -- the point is a new backdrop. the justification for it has always come as an afterthought.

should it now? no, i don't think so -- in fact i think that if we were to go from a european setting to an american one it should be entirely separate and not remotely interlinked with any current characters because it's such a different environment and such a great distance -- but that doesn't change the fact that if the people in charge wanted to move us from [unknown], ukraine to -- i don't know -- dresden, germany, all they'd need to do is get a map, prop it up, and make up some reason like "uhhh we moved here because... yeah"

lore aside, purely from a gameplay point of view, there's a reason why people get bored. reusing maps is one of them.

if its separate that makes sense

however my opinion remains the same as i am a sucker for realism

next time we do a map change sit in the back of a loud truck for 4 hours
