Biolapse is a KF2 Biotics Lab themed Holdout/Descent style Map and takes place after the events of Desolation. There are 11 uniquely themed levels and each level will require a different way to approach it - you may find the need for communication and teamwork that previous maps have lacked. #kf2newgrounds

This is a Holdout map that is a little more difficult than official maps and veterans of the game who play a lot of HoE with teams will find a new challenge here. There are 11 uniquely themed levels and each level will require a different way to approach it - you may find the need for communication and teamwork that previous maps have lacked. Be warned, this is a difficult map, do not expect to complete it solo or as a group on the first go in HoE. :P
Just like with Official Maps - this is currently not supported by Endless mode. A future release might change that though.
There are 10 ‘Golden Fetus Trophy’ collectibles around the map and multiple easter eggs scattered around as well.
This map has been my main focus since April last year, and probably has a good 1000 hours in the development of it. Each level has been rigorously crafted and tested on 6p HoE to make sure that the map delivers a unique strategic and (hopefully) bug-free experience. If you do find anything please report it in the bug thread.
Huge thanks goes to the BWA BOIS; to Acedia, dudecrimsom, Haruki, J_Witless, Kevin the Pumpkin, Master Chief, NNEEEE, Pharrahnox, Player, Proto and Sim for helping me test – I really appreciate all the input and help you all provided during this long development period.
An extra special thanks also goes to Pharrahnox as well for providing the StartWave mutator that helped speed up testing. Steamcommunity.com
Interesting stats about the map:
- 201 custom meshes
- 214 combined meshes
- 213 custom materials
- 824, destructible actors
- Every light is destructible..EVERY LIGHT.
- 1.5x the size of The Descent (which is approx 6x larger than Manor)

The intel from Operation Desolation has provided us with some valuable information on the location of Kevin Clamely. Tied with surveillance footage from one of the largest Horzine Production Facilities in Europe lead us to some troubling news; The Patriarch has returned to the facility, deactivated the containment fail-safes and resumed specimen production. The classified information obtained from the Jungle Installation show that the facility has capabilities to nearly double Zed populations based on what we have already encounted.
There is hope, intel also obtained show that there is a command override that can stop production entirely. However...the override is on the last level of an underground facility beneath the surface - currently occupied by either the Patriarch, or one of his colleagues.
Enter the facility and descend to the depths of the underground installation. Eliminate all specimen outbreaks and stop the facility from any further specimen production. This mission will need to succeed at all costs.

For a descent/holdout type of map it has great layouts, but a very few of them were just a bit too... crude (?) in layout. Considering the limitations of a descent/holdout map it's a bit hard to tell though and it makes up for most of the layouts being solid. (Also probably could've put a total of 20 collectibles rather than 10 but whatever.)
Presentation: 10/10
Looks like an official Horzine Lab themed map, custom made models fit the games art style amazingly. Also subtle meme easter eggs are neat.
Overall Score: 10/10
