wasn't "Blackhawkdown" meant to be a teaser like the super-8 trailer in portal 2?

I'm not sure but the file dates back all the way to 2003 so it was way before Portal and half-life 2 were released

Odd, I'll try looking for the .bsp

EDIT: Oddly enough blackhawkdown is a Counter-Strike Source Map
Maybe they used it to test things for HL2

Its also a part in retail with the AirBoat cannal

idk what the code is about but I think I know how / why its here in half-life 2.
So basically, I think this is some old leftover files for team fortress 2, after all, they were developed at the same time and leaked at the same time so some code may have been shared between the 2 games to help develop the source engine, kind of like how tf2's hammer editor includes half-life 2 assets, its basically like that.
