HL2DM Comp. Winners

i'm actually kind of disappointed that inevitableconflict didn't make it... not gorgeous but i had a lot of fun playing it

Do I see this right and Kamikazi's map won?

Yes, and not only that but 3D-Mike got his entry mentioned on there too. Go Mapcore and Mapcore associates!

Congrats Kami!!

yeah there wasn't even mentioned an honorable mention /category/... but something like that can't go without mention can it? gg valve

congrats kami

is there a mapcore egg in kamis map?

I totally agree with valve, havent played any of them but it seems fair to me

mapcore represent~!

Congrats to Kami / 3DMike and everyone that helped them out beta testing

3rd place is for the guy that won the first valve mapping contest with rapidcore

tis kewkarse that kami won the thing, but (and no disrespect meant by this) i think the visual quality of the contest winners is rather low considering the potential of the hl2 engine. Cant say about gameplay since I havent played any of them but I still think valve should've given the community some more time so that people could get some more cool looking stuff done instead of having to rushing it.

Anyway, grats to kami and mike

To be fair, I don't think they (valve) had the time to spare. Mods with only two maps generally don't maintain interest for too long. The third map screenshot (powerhouse) does look pretty damn tasty, though.

I dunno but WHEN did visual quality in deathmatch maps ever matter. At least back in the days, deathmatch was all about crazy fun gameplay to me...and still is. Realistic+Deathmatch don't mix well IMO :X

Powerhouse looks lovely in my opinion, though perhaps the author went a little OTT with the point_spotlights.

It never was. But if you can make some pretty play cool, why not go for that? I'm pretty sure it's possible, Unreal is the proof.
