    Skidrow? Skidrow from Modern Warfare 2? That’s right!

    I’m currently working on a complete port of the popular Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer map Skidrow to Source Engine or to be more specific for the game Counter-Strike: Source as a Bomb/Defusal.

    Currently the map’s state will soon enter a BETA and will then be play tested to make sure the scale is correct (The scale is done as close as I could ever manage. I’ve counted bricks, tiles and whatnot.) and the gameplay is fantastic like in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

    If anyone knows how to rip models from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and get them working on Episode 1 engine that would be greatly appreciated.

    If you know how to do this, add me on Steam: http://%7boption%7d

    Why? He's not stealing assets from COD or making money out of this...

    Use 3D ripper DX to get the MW2 models. It's pretty straightforward.

    I don't think anybody's going to rain on his parade, but technically he is sort of stealing I guess.

    Using the content from another game is a very hazy area. Some companies don't mind so much but with actisue I would be very cautious. Well personally I wouldn't bother at all seeing as releasing it would technically be breaking copyright laws but w/e.

    If you use some other game content in your map, don't post it on interlopers or fps banana

    technically he probably is not stealing if he paid for the game that he's ripping the content from. what he's doing is allowing us to all potentially steal that content(if we did not pay for the game that the content came from) by releasing it in his own level for free. so yes, that is illegal. i doubt the people who made MW2, one of the biggest games out right now, are going to be very happy about it. the entire "he's not making money off of it" excuse does not apply.

    legalities aside, the level looks really good. i hope you find a way to finish it without using assets you don't own the rights to. besides, who wants to play an exact copy of a level from a different game? come up with something, at least slightly, new and orignal if you're going to be re-creating a map. you've got to keep it fresh.

    The license terms on which you agree when buying the game propably dont allow you to modify the game in any way, so ripping content off it is already illegal.

    Why don't you design your own map from scratch? I find it kinda lame to rip stuff from other games and it's illegal too.

    He does, he is not "decompiling" the original map.

    He just remakes it from scratch, and imo thats a good learning process.

    I've have seen a lot of remakes, and i dont see what is wrong with it.

    When the textures of Max Payne 2 were released and used by the HL community i didnt hear anyone complain. So why now?
