Hey everyone! There haven’t been quite so many maps as last week, but hey, we've just started, I'm sure there will be more in the long run. This week’s map of interest is SockPuppet’s remake of “Puff”! Much like the maps from the "Hardcore" series that have been previously highlighted, this map aims to amp up the challenge of one of the original campaign missions.
Despite not differentiating much from the original Puff level in terms of aesthetics, it’s certainly much more challenging than its official counterpart. Ammo conservation is key here. The map takes use of the Trigger system, which I've rarely seen in use in custom levels.
The most notable and challenging difference this map has is that there’s backup. Lots and lots of backup. Luckily, this map’s backup is divided into two waves, which either arrive separately or all at once depending on your actions, adding a unique element of strategy to the level. The level also offers a fair amount of vents and even windows at the top floor with a ladder below one of them, allowing for a lot of potential for flanking enemies and getting the drop on them. Experiment and find out the perfect strategy!
