This mod is being developed in an effort to experience an official mod release and understand the inner workings of such an endeavor.  To that end, it will be very short and will not feature many gameplay changes.

== History ==
This mod originally started as a single map for the Planet Phillip "Sniperville" Competition. The idea behind the contest was that the entrant had to build one single-player map that involved the player interacting with "a Combine sniper" in an interesting way. I entered the contest but fell short of the deadline.  Thus, this mod was born. It will help me understand the intricacies of a mod release.
