i know how to set up hammer, make a map, and be done with it, but the thing is the only map i ever made for half life 2 isn't even done and it sucks. I've made maps for the portal games but atleast those have a set definition. "You have portals, and you go through them. Now finish this puzzle with portals and other components." But theres no "set goal" or guideline for a half life 2 map other than to get to the end. I don't know the ins and outs of the half life 2 engine, and there are no videos on it. Sorry of this is long, all i wanted was a video for mapping and making maps for half life 2.
#any videos on how to half life 2 map?

I'm not sure what you are asking?
Are you wondering how to make maps, or make storyline?
im asking on are there any videos somewhere that goes into the process of making maps, such as a general goal, a plot, enviroments, and a reason why this and that is happening.
ah
It's all about designing iteratively.
