    Impossible to optimize, but would be a waste not to release

    its a little too abstract for my taste but that isnt bad. the whole greek ruins thing needs a little more but i cant quite put a handle on it. i like your creativity though. gj.

    Great idea, however I dont think it would make a fun map simply because its takes too long to travel from one local to the other. It also seems pretty linear as you only have so many connects between islands. Its a wonderful theme, I just wish you'd thought more about designing it more centrally.

    I agree totally, midway through making this i realized it would be an impossible compile whilst maintaining decent fps and fast-paced gameplay, so i essentially abandoned it.

    Finally i compromised on haphazardly throwing together what elements i had just to appease the kiddies at hl2world. Oh well, you get what you get - its not perfect, but I felt bad wasting the theme, maybe someone else will be inspired to make a better one? Ah well, take it at face value.

    I think it looks pretty cool. With some agressive LOD it should be possible to get it running.

    There dont seem to be many weapons on the pictures, are they actually there or what?

    As the others say, some better connectivity is needed. You could take the easy way and make a few teleporters.

    put the different islands much closer to each other and give it a really dark setting and this will rock your socks off

    What is this? wow, looks like greece.

    i think this is an.. (Futuristic) map then.

    Well nice to see something different.

    But hey, isnt this to large?

    It would've been smarter to just use two different islands. Have more connectsions. But first and foremost gone to a level design and game design community for ideas and critique instead of going to hl2world who are a bunch of children who scramble over eachother to get the first suck on their mother's tit (pronounced teet).

    Holy shit, an original idea!

    Looks pretty good, but like the others said, I can't help for feel that the gameplay will be bad..
