The boss fight was not bad at all but maybe THERE it's better to have more enemies and make it more difficult instead of the rest of the level. The boss felt way more easy than killing the rail pistol aliens, as the projectiles can't be dodged and you don't have much health. The Usurpation Medics are pretty much meat shields only.
That last door wasn't made with the right trigger technique, as it keeps trying to open and makes sound even when it is already open.
I'm not sure what you're trying to do here about the story, if you want it to be "lore friendly" or make a generic-ish series. If you want the former (which is my guess since you specified that this map's events happened before the events of PB2), you'll have to think realistically. One soldier taking out an entire squad of usurpation soldiers with only a pistol and some grenades should be a big deal. Keep that in mind.
Overall pretty solid map. You took time to customize the enemies and give them proper nicknames. The background and architecture is at the very least good enough. The combat is pretty simplistic though, and I hope it changes in the future.
Thanks for the review, Dan! Although, at the end, you don't really specify how I can make the architecture better, and I'm assuming the combat is simplistic because of the whole only a pistol thing.
And yeah, it is kinda trying to be lore friendly, although I don't really know what I'm doing with that. Remember, though, that the map is supposed to be more of a training simulation, and I'd imagine that they'd have you go through something like this.
Should I go back and update the map accordingly to what you've said? I haven't really added an assault rifle, except for an easter egg in the map, which in hind-sight, was probably not a great idea. The reason I did this is probably just because I like being under-powered, for some reason. I should probably play Resident Evil 1 more, then :p
