It'll be interesting to hear Valve's presentation. We don't really know the full extent of their sales pitch or their "angle" (i.e. what would make this particular device "the shit" etc).
Perhaps we are missing some piece of the puzzle that makes this device stand out. I mean, come on, it's Valve? 
I also thought about that (was actually inspired by the show Mad Men where something similar happens). And yeah, it's probably too costly for it to happen but it would be awesome. 
Looks like their assets will be auctioned off seperately (studios, games, licenses). I hope it all goes well!
And please, no one fuck with CoH2 and Metro: Last Light. 
Obviously he didn't make the layout, but even a port requires some work and talent.
To be honest I think it would be cool if you did a remake with some tweaks to the layout and if you used new, custom assets (ripping them from MW2 might get you into legal issues).
To me, this seems redundant and potentially expensive. I'll probably skip it.
But please take this statement with a truckload of salt as none of the current generation consoles or handhelds have interested me. 
Sounds fair!
Good luck dude, I'm sure it's nothing!
Female doctor checked out my balls once... she wasn't hot though.
It all depends on how the surrounding area is shaped. It's not impossible. But I agree, demolition is a more natural fit.
I can assure you, no layout will ever work well in all game modes. Period. So, the question is simply which game mode you'd like to have.
I vote for either de_ or demolition. Put simply, de_ is more work and demolition is less work. The map's focus on the villa does lend itself well to demolition since that mode only has one bombsite. In contrast, the de_ mode requires that you flesh out the surrounding area more to accomodate a second bombsite and a larger map.
Lastly, I must mention that this version is far better than the last one. Keep up the good work and let us know how you decide to move forward.
I'll reply in the map's thread since it has one.
I'll go ahead and say no. Would just be annoying imo...
Okay, thanks for tonight!
OrnateBaboon: The map looks good and has a cool theme. Unfortunately I gotta say that the layout is very rough gameplay-wise. I see two ways forward:
- Making the map smaller, focus it on the villa and only have one bombsite (and make it a demolition map).
- Going back to the drawing board when it comes to the routes whilst looking at the official maps for guidelines and "best practices".
Currently, the map plays too much like a demolition map. Demolition maps tend to be more open in structure, where paths lead left and right. De_ maps, on the other hand, usually focus on 3 main paths with brutal choke points and VERY limited connections between paths.
Let's go gentlemen!!! Maps are, as mentioned, available here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxQPUZnFd-S9X1MwRVJDbHB4cjQ

We don't have a GOTY-thread, do we? 
I thought it would be fun to look back at 2012 and pick our favourite games (and to see which games we generally pick)!
Here are mine:
1. Dishonored
Solid and rewarding mechanics that really invited you to explore various playstyles and combinations of abilities. Great balance between player freedom and linearity. Atmosphere thick as custard. Decent, but not spectatular, story.
2. X-com
Highly succesful blend of strategy and management. A good sense of the weight of command. Ironman mode is simply great. Slightly weak story though.
Hey again guys!
Today's maps are available here: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BxQPUZnFd-S9X1MwRVJDbHB4cjQ
I've made some minor revisions to my map to improve the flow and to help players get a sense of how the flanks/areas tie together. I will however be making more drastic overhauls after this playtest. Let me know what you think!
See you tonight at 21:00 swedish time!
Okay, we'll playtest tomorrow night at 21:00 swedish time!
OrnateBaboon: Send me your map as soon as you're ready!
I agree with Mazy...
Sometime this weekend, the usual time. Do folks have any preference (fri/sat/sun)?
Hey guys, was thinking about orchestrating a new test soon. Do you have any maps you need tested?
