  • Parents

    First off, I've never seen my parents have sex and i cling to the possibility that they never have had... That I somehow was given to them by some other unknown people...

    That aside, the strangest thing my ive seen my parents do.. Well, aside from getting really utterly waster so i have to carry them to bed it must be watching my dad "the day after" just sitting in the couch, in nothing but his underwear with his feet on the table, drinking coke and watching the whole band of brothers in one go.

    The strangest thing my mum ever does is to not be angry.. And after i've moved away from home that shit happens alot these days

  • The Firefight Project

    I dont really see how you can focus so much more on flanking techniques than other firefight mods out there..

    If you break it down, its just a strategy used in all Firefight games, when players actually team up that is, even CS.. and especially DOD...

    Its not something you can implement via code, its something you can encourage with the map layout, yes, but thats already done in X number of mods. Saying you will focus on that gives me nothing, since i could just make a map for DOD focusing on that, and we'd have your mod in a map.

    + realistic modelbehaviour behind cover.. oh please.. everyone sais they'll have that..

    I might've misunderstood badly tho, since my english understand sucks at times, but i wish you good luck with your project anyways Tho i wish people would start thinking outside the box instead of following the old modern WAR combat mod.

    You really learn to appreciate certain things after you lost them, so in case you fuck up now you might really gonna bite yourself in the ass when she is gone. Decide for yourself if this is a word of caution or advise

    yeah dude, i found myself in the exact same position as you are in, just a few years ago... And from that time to now its all been a struggle, The first thing i did was to break up with the girlfriend, she took that pretty rough the first week, but got over it eventually.. When i then tried to start mapping again, it really didnt work too good.. I joined a few mods that didnt lead anywhere and decided to just wait for HL2..

    When HL2 came i just didnt have any fun making maps at all... all my spirit was gone, i wasnt eager at it at all... and its still that way in a few ways, but now i think i have found a way to battle through it, with the simplest of thoughts; "If i dont do it, it wont get done".

    Stupid, i know.. but it works

    that's a really nice props placement .

    I don't like the lighting.

    Great consctructive criticisme guys, its really great of you to take your time to review the map properly!

    That aside, From the first screenshot, the first thing that caught my eye was that the bunker was really square ;P pff but hey, its a bunker right.. The texture on it is also repeating..

    The second screenshot looks good, the ground could use a last touch, but to me it looks okay..

    The third screenshot, well its the same here, the ground could use some more attention, there are a few pointy patches.. other than that you might want to check if there really should be this many sandbagprops out.. Its all fine and good that the germans where really heavily fortified on that beach, but i dont think they had those oddly halfcircled sandbag things placed all over

    The fourth picture is just a bunch of props tossed together, make that more interesting architecturewise^^

    Fifth picture looks okay, not sure why the germans would stack some sandbags up against those walls, but oh well im not a soldier

    The last picture also looks cluttered with props (the near camera).

    Overall this is a good start, keep those pictures coming, and dont pay attention to the grumpy old bastards there ;D

    Dude, you HAVE TO replace those wooden crates in that rat map. Such a nice kitchen, clustered with tiny wooden crates. Try to use objects which fit more to the kitchen theme for cover.

    I agree... spilled beercans (or something else) is a better than crates... Id stay away from them if i were you. Just take a trip to your kitchen and check whats on the tables around everywhere if you're outta ideas

    Quote from Pericolos0

    actually he copied that from halflife2.net

    i knew it

    Is he actually working with valve, or did he just send an email asking them if he could release it over steam once its done?
