The whole chapter is the first map in my Ravenholm campaign. With red lights and alarms, I hope to give the feeling of hell breaking loose. I remedied the shortness of the map by throwing in some vents that linked most of the floors you saw going down the elevator.

Or modify them to suit your purpose. Like with what I'm doing with Ravenholm, Black Mesa is the first map. It was fairly short, so I added vents to connect most of the floors you see going down the elevator.

Then once we've converted HL2, we can add ing EP1 and EP2 with horded bonus. It would be the most epic campaign ever.

When I finish them. I'm going to make Ravenholm a campaign, and I'm going to do it right. Campaign, survival, versus--the whole deal.

These tools are simply phenomenal. I can see why they made us wait so long! I can't consentrate on anything at the moment because everything I do isn't as good as mapping for L4D :(
