Hey guys, its me! 
I know you haven't heard from me in a while, I have been busy playing outbreak (its the best zombie game ever). I took a break from it and discovered a hl2: episode 1 mod called MINERVA. It's a brilliant mod, with such map making that is unheard of. In fact, I thought I was playing a mod made by valve! It has a mysterious story-line, where your sent to an island (being strapped to the back of a stolen combine helicopter) and are told to investigate. And you meet your leader, who calls him or herself Athena, the goddess of hunting and science, from greek mythology. You are supposed to be a traitor to both the combine and the rebel parties, but try to redeem yourself with the rebels.
It's just a great mod, the map making was astounding, it was fun to play, and not to mention the cool story-line and plot twists. I think that we should all look into the mod and get some ideas on how to form new maps and generate a new story-line. If we have someone sending messages or guiding you on your way through your zombie infested world (like in MINERVA) then you could feel like that your not the only person in the mod that isn't totally oblivious to the zombie outbreak. We need some type of hint to the fact the ZOMBIES ARE WALKING AMONGST THE LIVING! But sadly we don't have any type of voice acting. I would like to shout-out to you veterangamer, you are a brilliant man from what I know, if you could make a stunning and clever character to acompany or guide Gordon on his way through the zombie hordes, I would feel some much more thrilled. Not that outbreak isn't thrilling, it just needs some more work with story-line developement.
Now, about the maps. I have complained before about the fact that we don't have many custom maps, but if you take a look at MINERVA, the mapping is.....wonderful. The guy was so good he was asked to join valve (which he accepted). I know that the developement team can do it, but you must push yourselfs to your very limits. I have not seen your work on custom maps for outbreak before, there-for I have not clue on your abilties. But I beg of you to look into this mod and think about how to make Outbreak reach it's full and undefined potiental. Please take this into consideration.
P.S. If you find anything about his offending, please inform me so I could edit it.
~Sincerely, Howl.
