The layout is fairly simple, built around a central courtyard with two main buildings, both have multiple levels, and a shared basement/garage area.</p> <p><img alt="NORAD" loading="lazy" src="https://merlijnvanholder.com/posts/2002/half-life-deathmatch-norad/media/norad-01.png"> <img alt="NORAD" loading="lazy" src="https://merlijnvanholder.com/posts/2002/half-life-deathmatch-norad/media/norad-02.png"></p> <p>Some areas offer 3 levels of verticality, but the rocket launcher is placed in the basement by design. Getting it first and then working your way up is a good risk/reward strategy.</p>
