Also, i despise the room full of lasers which is located in the building full of turrets which is located in the 'garden' full of striders with a passion. It just lacks the vertigo that other chapters do. It feels like you're just in a maze, it feels very corridory. But it still doesn't play as fun as it would have.
If they did a Black Mesa style makeover, or something like Cinematic Mod, it could be brought up to a more enjoyable standard. It's hard to pin down what it exactly is, but it's just something about the claustrophobia and bland/blocky nature of the levels. I dislike the street war chapters in city 17 for the general boredom that they bring in comparison to the other chapters, it's almost like a repeat of Xen from the previous game which was underwhelming as it is here, it just doesn't sell the same immersion or impression that City 17 gives in the early game.
