Subject: CARTOGRAPHIC AND TERMINOLOGICAL STANDARDIZATION OF CITY 03
To: c03:i4 - THUMPER_01
(11.24.15)
Overwatch has completed the creation of a perfect map that accurately represents and organizes City-03 into operationally useful and mandatory terminology. These maps have been endorsed by the administrator.
Oversee the adoption of these new maps and the attached terminology to your squads, and ensure that they are in full usage by the end of the month. You have one week from the time of this message before you and your squad will be expected to use these codes in reference to this particular map, and errors in their usage or usage of outdated terminology will be met with standard alteration procedures.
Any usage of former maps, especially those natively depicting City-03 prior to Combine rule, is now prohibited for all Overwatch, Civil Protection, and all Citizens. For Metropolice, enforcement of these new standards is not to be punished until the aforementioned deadline of Cycle 2015:12, for both Citizens and Metropolice themselves.
After 11.30.15, all Citizen usage of alternative maps is to be met with swift re-education.

Past the in-universe lore droppings, these are obviously maps I created for a Half-Life 2 mod taking place in Combine occupied NYC. I do not want to give out many details yet, and do not be surprised if I don't speak here again for multiple months. This is but a pet project, although one I am very passionate about - though I mean nothing to say "ooh please look at this glorious thing I made and see how aweso...", I simply just want to share the map I made because it took a couple days and I thought it would do no harm to the later hype I want to build with more teasers. In all honesty, the mod debatably does not even exist outside of my mind at the moment, and the 0.5 megabyte of .txt files I have with descriptions of it for development. To explain the maps, the names of them do pretty well. One of these text files contains the instructions and lore I used to make this map, though it is not loading into the post. Thank you.
