Rust Mill is a map in the multiplayer mode of Half-Life. It was released by Valve Software for free on February 17, 1999[1], included with Half-Life: Further Data, and eventually added to the game itself in the 25th Anniversary Update on November 17, 2023.[2]
Overview[edit]
Rust Mill is a medium-sized and very teamwork-oriented map, set in and around an abandoned mill in the desert. The map has a mix of tight quarters and open areas, with some room for players to move freely, especially in the mill's exterior and sewer area.
Rust Mill's landmark is a large concrete bunker, which requires two players to open. Controlling this bunker gives one team an advantage over the other team. There is a Crossbow atop its entrance, and inside of it are two identical rooms containing a Health Charger, two Suit Batteries, a Shotgun, and four SMG grenades, as well as a screen showing a "bird's eye" view of the map. This screen also tracks other players' movement, with them being indicated by a blinking green square. Shooting certain parts of the screen while standing on the teleport pads teleports players to that particular area.
Due to the map's teamwork-oriented nature, it is best played in Teamplay mode.
Behind the scenes[edit]
A lone Security Guard can be found in the sewer maintenance area if the map is loaded as a single-player map by typing deathmatch 0 in the developer console.
