Quote from mike-0They mean that now, but not later. When judging begins, the judges will be so sick of the same textures/models that they will lean towards custom content.
I hope you people trying for this dont put exploded car props in your maps.
They should already be sick of all their content then and would never have released HL2, theyve been working with it for a decade.
Anyway last time they held a contest, a datacore ripoff won. They dont get sick of their own stuff, that would be dumb cuz theyre the developers and they know its about the players. Also it took like 2-3years before ppl started getting tired of the hl1 textures
