I agree with Vivi, compiling maps that come with the sdk
into HL2DM... 
Anyway Valve did a good job on making the Ravenholm
singleplayer map.

The following 2 pics may have been the most fun I've had in a game.
The game is Planetside, it's a mmofps and prolly one of my top5
games of all time.
Here's the story behind the pictures:
I'm leading a squad as a New Conglomerate heavy MAX unit.
My squad is part of a large platoon trying to hold a base.
Our base is constantly being attacked by the forces of a nearby Vanu Sovereignty tower. All in all there are around 100 people participating
in the battle.
So as the battle went on, we realized we couldn't defeat the Vanu forces
by defending. The Vanu were sending more and more reinforcements
at us. Our platoon leader made a plan to attack the enemy tower.
He called on all friendly MAX units on the island to gather in our base
lobby and prepare to assault the enemy tower.
After having gathered around ~25 MAX units we assaulted the enemy
tower and captured it.
Pic 1. We're gathering MAX armored units into our base lobby.

The shadows look MUCH better now.
I vote the map for spotlight

Let the crusade begin. I don't care if I'm murdering grandma's,
as long as the game is awesome.

Looking gewd Swifty. I was thinking on making a zombie/Frankenstein type
monster but now that you made one ill have to go plan B

Hahhah skdr
That's brilliant.
About the polycount and texture size. I think they're just fine.
If you increase polycount and uvmap size too much, it will lead
to increased development time and probably less entries.
I made a zeppelin for the May modelling contest but didn't have time to
skin it
. I may try and complete something this month.Idea: If this becomes a monthly thing, wouldn't it be cool if the
winner could pick the next months modelling theme?

I would never carry a knife,
even for selfprotection.
Carrying weapons in public is just
stupid and unnecessary and can lead to
bad situations.
Randomly stabbing people on the street is fucked up.
I'd lock up the person in a mental institute/prison for life.

This might not be the most intelligent response to the situation, but frankly I think sony is fucked in the next.gen. console competition.

The windshield colour is a bit odd, it looks as
if there's a lightbrown curtain or something
covering all the windows inside

Outsourcing frightens me, whatever the industry/profession is.
And why not outsource? You get the same job done with less money.
Outsourcing is costing more and more jobs in the "Western" countries,
but at the same time people in not-so-developed countries gain jobs.
Not having a job in eg. India is most likely way worse than
in Finland, where the welfare system etc. offer unemployed
people support.
That "Ninja" company has a good business idea,
and I wouldn't be suprised if companies like that
become more usual in gamedev.

the visuals are nice and the animation is realistic. The lipsync and voice acting are quite horrible until the very end.

I'm around Tokyo next September.

I got the video from a torrent, but there's also a google video

So what was the thing at E3 that impressed you the most?
It can be a game, a console, a booth or simply a piece of news announced at E3. So please tell us what in your opinion was the
best that E3 had to offer this year.
Personally I thought the most awesome thing evar was the
Supreme Commander presentation.
I'm confident it will be the best RTS game ever made

The Old City (Gamla Stan, am I rite?)

pnyx very good use of polygons

What can I say, it looks great. Kind of pointless to say that because all next gen. games look spectacular. I liked the original Turok, it was a lot of fun. I'm not a big fan of the jurassic theme though.
