Intro

By way of introduction, I am "Redclaw" and I have spent the last 4 years mapping for AVP2. I also served as a map reviewer and staff member
for for PlanetAVP. About a year ago I jumped in the Half Life 2 and CounterStrike: Source arena feet first. It's been a total blast and I love the HL2 world.
If you play AVP2 and would like to check out those maps please PM me.

Description:
A new darker and snowbound look for the classic map "dm_overwatch" by Valve. Now loaded with fun new
features and places to explore. Controlling the central building will be a real challenge! So put on your snowboots,
grab your weapon of choice, and join the fun!

Installation:

Unzip the files dm_overwatch_winter_storm_v2.bsp:
Steam\Steamapps\<<your username>>\half-life 2 deathmatch\hl2mp\maps\

WARNING:

Changing the map name from "dm_overwatch_winter_storm_v2.bsp" to anything else will cause
all the special visual effects (specularity) to stop working as the cubemaps have been compiled
for this map filename only. Basically the map will look like crap if you change it's name.

Other Notes:

*I have added info_nodes around the map for people who wish to play this map in GarrysMod.*

This map was heavily tested with Bots and it performed very well. The Bots were very sneaky!
