my first map EVER, some didnt believe it when I released the first screens 
Quote from KIIIAMy first poor beginnings from aproxemitely 3 years ago:*images*
Haha, those look like the sorta stuff I was working on 5 years ago for an SP thingy, too bad I lost it all in a HD crash.. :-?
My very first was called "The Think Tank". It was basically a ripped off bootcamp texture theme complete with a big pool of water in the middle housing a good weapon (hence crappy name). It got reviewed on Radium and got a nice review but a shitty mark for some reason. Radium was cool (the death of radium's map site really did dent the HL and TFC scenes as it was a central point for getting 3rd party maps) but you could tell he was pissed off by the amount of shitty maps he had to review before he jacked it all in. It's too bad his site is no longer hosted, some of the vitriolic remarks on his later reviews were uncomfortably amusing. I think my contribution sent him over the edge. He definitely didn't actually playtest it otherwise he would've noticed the lift buttons were the size of 50" rear-projection TVs.
I remember being chuffed to bits when some random guy emailed me to say he loved the map and I should make more.
I (un)fortunately cannot find any pictures 
aww man don't talk about radium 
That was my first gaming community I was involved in, I was so sad when it fell apart =/ I personally quit playing tfc for at least a year after it died. Also my friend moved to everquest for some ungodly reason.
I feel like every time I post here it's something depressing.
KIIIA : Haha, thats one "built to last" bridge-span.
Am I the only one who made my first map for warcraft 2? Dont have any pics of them though, doesent matter, they sucked anyway. I havent made any complete maps for HL yet and none for HL2 yet either. But heres a pic of my HL2dm map im working on now. And this is will be my first completed map. I hope =).
EDIT: Sry about the size... a screw it. look here instead if u want.
I've actually never released a map.. funny that.
my first map after the AAA trigger texed nub cube of dewm.

my first release
Ion Chamber (HLDM map)
http://www.fileplanet.com/files/80000/85863.shtml
it's sorta a remake of Dave Ewing's dm_fractal (UT map)
i like the lighting and such but i screwed up on the design (like putting moving water underneathe a grate). Also I screwed up the elevators (they only move down when you stand underneathe them) OOPS! Heh

Quote from michael_obrienMaybe my fear of commitment comes from an experience with creating presets for winamps AVS visual music - response thing, I spent soooooo much damn time on that and then hard drive crash, probably half a year of obsessive work wasted, I'd hardly begun to release anything... I was so angry and I never got back to it.
U should release some bad stuff and play it with some ppl, thats what ur mapping for. Evrybody gets bored with their own stuff, just look at it from ur players pov
Could be a worse first hl-map backslider
Well that was the last straw.
/hangs self/
wjat?
It was one of my favourite maps I ever played when it was first released btw.
*Edit: Hrm, never played this one, meant boxoffice2k.
BUMP!

I have no idea what I was thinking during that second map of mine.
Thats some hardcore point_spotlight whoring
Can't remember if I posted in this thread, and I ain't going back through 11 pages to check. Don't have any pictures of my first map, but this was my first completed and released map, fittingly called "Obsolete"...
