Map review:

Breakdown is a classic AvP2 map made by Modmaker. Most players will remember playing the map in multiplayer as the map also comes in deathmatch and co-op version. However, the co-op version was always extremely difficult as the alien ai had tank-like health. Alien ai in AvP2 multiplayer seemed to usually ruin great maps like this. Regardless, the singleplayer version is far more playable and enjoyable.

The map layout is very large as the player must cross a massive bridge to get around. Essentially the goal is to reach the dropship extraction point, but there are several switches the player must activate, which are of course inconveniently scattered across the map. Back when this map was popular online, players would often get lost on where to go and what to do, as the mission objectives don't appear on the screen. There is a red dot on your tracker which helps a bit, but it can still be a bit confusing. I admit I forgot the placement of these switches and wandered around a bit to explore, but at least it showed off more of the map.

Once you realize where you have to go (the switch under the bridge, the switch behind the ladder at the tower, the security room and the evac rooftop) the map is loads of fun. The added turrets make the map even better. Just remember to shoot out the grating above the ladder to climb up to the evac rooftop. This is a common mistake players always forget (myself included). This map is highly recommended.
