Slaughterhouse Fight

A fight that takes place in a slaughterhouse, amongst the meat chunks hanging from the hooks. Adds a certain edge to a confrontation, surrounding it with death from the onset and simultaneously blocking the line of sight in all directions. Expect No OSHA Compliance.

 * In the original Half Life, there was a level that partly took place in a giant walk-in refrigerator with hanging meat.
