One of the things I really like about the new games included in the Orange Box pack is the new achievements system, essentially an achievement is a form of challenge within a game such as killing an enemy in a certain way or amassing a required amount of something. The achievements range from quite easy to accomplish to automatically happening at certain points in the game to being downright fiendish.

The achievement I’ve noticed people having difficulty with is the Camera Shy achievement, which amounts to knocking thirty-three cameras off the walls by creating portals behind them. Here’s a complete list of them all with pictures.

Warning: If you haven’t already completed Portal there are spoilers ahead!

Update: A few people have contacted me about this one. You do not have to take down the cameras on the metal walls that you cannot place a portal behind, they don’t count towards the achievement.

At first glance this map appears far too large to accomodate smaller numbers of players, but the creators have integrated bounce pads, teleporters and a multitude of secret doors and areas to speed gameplay somewhat. We played this with anything from 4 to 16 players in the server and never had to wait very long for a target.

The crisp and clean roman styling cleverly gives high visibility of opponents and very few secluded areas to hide in. Weapon layout has been well thought through and the much maligned rocket launcher has been placed behind a fiendish lava pit trap.

Custom textures and sounds have been used throughout and the attention to detail really shows. For example, the steps have been clipped to allow the more advanced players to fly around non-stop at high speeds and the distances and heights of the trickier jumps and gaps have been perfectly measured to allow smooth traversal.

Overall this is some superb mapping from Electric Warrior and Captain Hornet, nicely balancing eye candy with furious action and rapid roaming firefights. Weighing in at over 60mb uncompressed this is one hefty download but worth every byte.
