If there are multiple teams (which would make sense since there are so many ppl willing to join the contest here) the question is whether they should compete or help each other hehe

I suggest to create a (temporary) forum section for the contest so not everything gets lost in one big thread.

containing only textures from Half-Life 2
So this would exclude any work of the texture-artists here

I should have said "linear levels". Stratty knows what I'm talking about.
As for the graphics: Look at Doom3, look at FarCry, look at Painkiller ...

That was just stupid.
Tell me what's the best game ever in your opinion and I'll show you its flaws.
I don't think HL2 is necessarily the best game ever but it is the best FPS ever IMO.
No game is flawless and in the end it's all a matter of perspective, but from my point of view, a very linear, scripted game with mediocre AI and not so overwhelming graphics is not the major breakthrough in PC games history (unlike most PC game mags want to tell you). No doubt that it still is a kickass game though, with one of the most immersive atmospheres a player has seen so far.

This video shows that HL2 is not a flawless game, focusing on hitboxes and AI.
I don't feel that these aspects gave me much trouble when I played the game, but I agree on the message of the video which says that "HL2 is a great fps, one if not the best game of this year, but it isn't the best game of all times".

Not only that you make cartoony jungle stuff, now also the next Crytek project has been reveiled D:!!!
Naa looking cool, I like it. I agree with spine (and your teacher) though, anyway keep it up!

I just thought it was useless for sniping :-?

Retailed box copy. The whole steam thing didn't appear very safe to me, I was afraid of server overloads and that I couldn't play the game from the day on it was released.
It's on DVD of course, no silly north-american CD collections

Shotgun and Magnum. I never managed to kill somebody with the new crossbow, it seriously blows now imo D:
I always used the magnum for sniping

@All: Stop being so hard to Skaljg. You can express criticism more gently. I know you can. Try! Try harder!
If converting ugly maps makes him happy, let him do it...
@Skaljg: If you like the gameplay of mansion better (tbh I don't quite see the difference gameplay-wise between mansion and estate but anyway....)you could still try to make it visually more appealing, especially since this map is for source and everybody expects maps to look 1000x better now.
@DarkNemesis: Thx for coming down from the skies when a hero to save our souls was mostly needed. We beg for forgiveness and hope that we can continue posting in these forums. Yes? Thanks.
What a first appearance wow...

Why are you guys making such a fuzz about the dog? They got a frickin' company lobster!
Did you eat him when Bloodlines went gold? (plz no)

Yea looks Doom3'ish, it's cool

Once again, Tayl0r nailed down what we all are trying to say.

Doesn't look like it :roll:

lol Taylor, truer words were never spoken
Everywhere I read "the HL2 plot is absolutely amazing", but when I think about it by now, I must say: "What plot?"
I am sure once HL3 or 4 or 5 is released or how many sequels so ever Valve will need to clear up everything, I'll be also like "ahhh now everything makes sense!" but for now HL2 is a very entertaining sequel with many interesting gameplay ideas in a cool environment without a concluding story.
The question is, can a singleplayer game be the best of all time when the player doesn't understand the plot?
