This is an alpha-era teaser.  Obviously, it was never completed.

Does somehave contact to the mapper ? Tell him he that he should reales that. If it is an slpha, or not. This map is very great and i think i would like it better then the official one.

Just some thoughts...

Besides that the screen that is shown in the "video" looks layout-wise more faithful to the original than the current official multiplayer(!) map doesn't sell it for me, because:
1.) although I still do not like cradle that much the official map is better gameplay-wise. If you had ever played the GE mod for HL 1 with ppl or even bots you would have come to the conclusion, that the original map layout makes it more of a sniper map than it already is. With the additional areas on the official GE: S map there are at least some areas where you can't be shot from every side giving you a little more opportunity to control the game instead of being dependant on being unnoticed until you have the chance to grab a weapon. So I think the official GE: S mod is quite a good version for multiplayer.
2.) texture-wise the official map looks better :p

It looks the exact same to me as the current Cradle but with fog and it's full of developer and HL2 textures, its proportions are off, and it doesn't have the super camper-friendly pits on the top catwalks, quite possibly its only plus. I'm not sure why you'd want an ugly early version of a map.

All links are down and i can´t jump to page 7.

I somehow like the fog, could be even a little more density, but for the rest the ge_gradle version we got ingame is far better.

As you said, the pits are not there (which I think are essential, because 1.) everyone would keep being sniped by the guys on the towers and 2.) for the additional spawn locations) and if you look closely you'll see you would have to go through the rooms, there are no rails on their sides.
Another thing which I cannot tell from the screenshot is the architecture of the lower part, but as it seems this was more of a DIRECT recreation, meaning the - multiplayer-wise useful - different levels that were added in the GE: S maps wouldn't be there. You might also want to try the cradle map from http://www.fileplanet.com/51602/50000/fileinfo/Goldeneye-Beta-1.9-Full to see what these differences would do to a multiplayer match.

And yes, the fog is nice.

Even if you did have the final map, it was designed for Alpha, not the current Beta3 version.

Damn. Really wan´t play this map. But there is badly no way.... well....

Bloodix, if I do recall wanted to help with the website too, but whatever happened with that?

Oh and P.S.

Well damn that's old haha. Represent!

[Bloodix]

HA! its my old map, I sure do miss that Cradle. The only down side to the map, is that it lagged a bit due to the hugeness of it. Though looking at those screenshots sure does make me miss mapping.

And if you guys need website help, I'm willing to offer my services.
