Quote from Thrikbut let's face it — it looks fun.
Yeah, my first reaction was "what a fucking rip-off" but they're certainly expanding on the idea considerably.
So, is this just a new technology they're going to impliment into source through other games, probably EP2, or is it going to be a standalone product?
I've been keeping a sort of watchful eye on it for sometime. Always looked pretty cool but I recall something about publisher issues in the past so hopes for it ever being released weren't very high for me. Good to see it's still coming along though.
I'm caught between my original expectations for TF2 when it was announced all those years ago and that image, which looks to be a cool throwback to the TFC style. 
Quote from FuryoI don't really dig the lit up street lights in the middle of the day, noticeably during the WWII era. Maybe you want to check that out. I think it attracts the eye too much, and an unlit version would add to the atmosphere
Well, it's common to see street lights on during the day, often in the early mornings or before nightfall, as it depends on when the timers are set and they arn't always tuned to the season. At least these days, not sure how they put these things on 60 years ago. Either way, I still think it adds to the atmosphere more, whether or not it's realistic.
And plus, by the lighting/sky in the map, it's really up to anyones imagination as to what time of day it is.
Like the lighting immensely. Agree with what everyone above said. Should be cool to see how you extend the beach area out. Good stuff.
Good going Blue. Love the mountain peak in the second pic.
So, when did clothing go out of fashion? Must've missed the fax.
I can't believe I missed this thread. This is such a cool idea. Any chance of helping out at this point? Mapping old-school would be fun as hell.
Kinda plain. Might do another one.

Recreate the dip in the road, would make it a bit more interesting.
Science & Industry rocked
Quote from Polarisomg, I miss those...
I mean er, those were so childish, same thing with those eye spy books
It was funny how in grade school those were the only books kids would take out. And teachers never really bothered caring...
Quote from PolarisAparently people who map also read books
There should be a Mapcore reading list for the uninitiated, as a sort of primer on the subtle innerworkings of the community.
Although it would probably just consist of Wheres Waldo books... 
I really would have guessed alot more than just a few million. Pretty surprising.
Quote from cdxxwhat is a dxf file? I'm not familiar with it.
a CAD program file format I believe? Hammer outputs to it as well.
Quote from mabufoA hard difficulty level doesn't make a game good. So I think there is a flaw in your logic.
Well, if at a higher difficulty level the AI reacts differently and is self perserving and challenges you even further then...Yes, it does improve a game. It's just that generally games opt for simply increasing hit points/accuracy on enemies.
Quote from ReNoNot sure if I prefer the Halo 1 or Halo 2 system though, given they had slight differences.
I think they might've tightened the system up a *bit* too much in 2. The health fallback was fine I thought.
Quote from MazySaw the trailer....totally awesome!Best trailer I've seen so far this year, but I didnt get to see much of Microsofts conference so hmmh

It was a nicely put together little package, although a bit underwhelming when compared to Halo 2's debut at E3. Then again, H2 was a little further along I suppose...
Quote from mabufoHalo/2 are the two most overrated games I've ever played.
Halo isn't I don't think. If you ever go through the game on Legendary alone or with a buddy I think you'd find yourself in a hard position argueing it isn't a great game. Halo 2 maybe didn't quite surpass it, but it was still good, with a great online portion.
I think it was already officialy revealed that Halo 3 would be at E3 in some form.
This is pretty much my first attempt at a useable texture. Took about an hour or so but it's still a bit sloppy, sort of a rush job. It was basically just to see if I could make a tileable texture.
Here's the base that I found from this site:

And here's the final texture:
