Hey, folks! So I actually finished this pack in February but I had a lot going on and was unable to add the finishing touches.
There are 12 maps total in this pack, two of which are cutscenes.
The pack is currently not compatible with coop play as it has cutscene maps. Will be releasing the coop-enabled version without cutscenes here in the next week.

Notes
-----
-This mission pack features more streamlined gameplay than PHXMP1; it uses cutscenes and in-game messages instead of constantly returning to a hub for briefings.
-This is the spiritual successor to the very first map pack for Unreal that I ever made...probably about ten years ago. I had two objectives with this pack: capture the overall feel and atmosphere of Unreal, and use the environment and outdoorsy settings of the Blue Mountains that I created all those years ago.
-Some of these maps are extremely dark; this is not an error or oversight, they are intended to be dark to add to the atmosphere. You may need to adjust your brightness slightly if you have serious problems. However, myself and many of those who tested this pack with me have had no issues.
trust me, your feedback is very much appreciated and I implemented that into PHXMP3 when I started developing it. In my plan for the pack I dedicated time to doing a run-through separate from all my other testing to ensure health was placed enough. Haven't done any development with it in several months however :/ I've been super busy with my career.
