Industrial Espionage: Threat Assessment

Author: W0lfman
# of levels: 1
Rating: 10/10
Difficulty: Easy

This map, released on Decemeber of 2012, is a classic Rtcw sp map using default textures, sounds, and music. Don't let this fact scare you away, because the level itself is amazing. BJ is sent to investigate a Nazi Industrial Facility, which is infested with Nazi soldiers. In terms of difficulty, this map is very easy, or at least it was to me.

I was able to complete the level without cheating (although I did use /noclip to access a secret area). Other than that, there is plenty of health and ammo scattered throughout the map, with some special weapons hidden in a secret area. To avoid spoiling the secret, I will just say this: There are 2 weapons that you cannot acquire without finding the secret area. But even without these 2 weapons, you should be able to complete the level without even dying once.

The level design is top notch, which is amazing since this is W0lfman's first map. This map even has 2 moving elevators. I was impressed with it's quality, and the map even has a mission briefing on the loading screen (but no notebook info on gameplay sadly). There are a total of 3 secret areas. The first is really easy to find, the second is harder, and the last is the hardest. The last secret area has the only treasure items in the entire map, if you're wondering where that gold is. =)

This map uses some dialogue from the original Rtcw maps. It was nice hearing the classic "Kill him!" and "Ze American!". W0lfman got inspiration to make this map from a real industrial facility in Chicago, United States. I also got inspiration from a real location for the mappack "Greenbrier on the Rhine", made by me.

Overall, this is an impressive piece of work. W0lfman has mentioned that he has a lot of free time on his hands, and it's also great to see another sp mapper joining the "sp mapping crew of Rtcw". =)
