The game and BSP directories depend on whether you want to map for Episodic or HL2. Episodic is based on EP1/EP2 and HL2 is based on the original HL2. Episodic contains newer features and entities introduced in Episode One and Two, meaning you probably want to use Episodic. Since Source 2013 comes with Episodic content automatically, you nor your players should need to have either episode installed to use Mapbase's episodic version.
