As promised, here are the results of my personal survey of Half-Life 2 Modding community. I hope this servers as a future reference and dedication to community mappers knowing your audience in modern Half-Life gameplay. Finding a perfect balance between a Normal and Hard gameplay ain't easy but you will get there! Players do love to explore and the majority felt game design always lack knowing where they need to go in the level. Lastly, I was surprised seeing City17 as the most beloved environment by the community! Thank you everyone who voted. (LambdaGeneration, Reddit and Tyler's Discord Server)
If you could do more, what kind of modding question would you ask for a second survey?
