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 for PlanetAVP.
About 4 months ago I jumped in the Half Life 2 arena feet first. It's been a total blastand I love the HL2 world. Hammer is a great
level designer compared to what I had to work with in the AVP2 world. If play AVP2 and would like to check out those maps please PM me.

Description
------------
Arctic Vendetta is a bitterly cold world with a old hydro plant nestled in a deep snow filled valley. The facility is closed for the season
so no one is supposed to be there. Have fun exploring the place and with all my maps...there is a secret room and
some nasty traps. This is my first major HL2 Deathmatch map release and I am sure I still have a lot to learn. So please go easy on me
folks if it is not quite up to what other people are releasing. I hope people will appreciate the hard work and effort that went into
these two maps.

WARNING
------------
Changing the map name from "dm_arctic_Vendetta_war_se_V1.bsp" to anything else will cause
all of the ambient soundscapes (as they are all custom ones) to stop working as well
as all the special visual effects (specularity) will stop working as the cubemaps have been compiled
for this map filename only.
