Some work of advice, dont play your mod to big in the beginning, a singleplayer and multiplayer mod, is tons of work, you will constantly be looking over the two teams workin on it... and it will take forever.

did HL2 not look good because it was delayed.... NO! it looked awesome!

hmm... Dallas really limits the amount of people applying to the program, i would be really up for it... if i wasnt going to SCAD next year and if i didnt live in Washington D.C........

After reading this i have gotten very excited and I would deff like to be in.

If there are three teams, which i would suggest, I think we should follow certain themes from HL2, bringing the player back to the game and almost wanting to play it agian. Thats something i believe Valve will be looking for. Here are the three themes I thought of.

1) The Citadel (the area where you recieve the upgraded G-Gun)

2) A place similiar to trapville (the area with all the aliens and the priest with the shotgun)

3) Either the junkyard where "Dog" is or the opening train area.

These three themes could be split up into the three teams, the teams then could work a decent layout involving all the things that are required to make an excellent DM map. In example: A difference in height through out the level, placement of weapons and power ups, every hall way leads to another (no dead ends). Im personally down for doing the citadel.

I also agree with Friechamp in creating a temporary forum where we can post about this subject and get things organized.

Please give me your thoughts on this.

I totally agree with everything. Luckly Nightwatch has 2 amazing coders and one of them being the current leader of the mod, Proffesional Victim. Awesome guy btw, and I also agree with members being together. NW, has had a few fights, but nothing big at all, we all admire each others work and accept critism like sex. Did i mention were out of an animator

wow, that mansion remake looks worse than the original. that's saying something

agreed.

As for assualt its lookin cute so far, but what I would really like to see is the sun effect used properly, just like that one map in CSS (sorry i dont know the name). It would create a great atmosphere for the map.

Duffy you should try to beat the game and see if he comes back to life... also could u tell us how you got him and in what level and at what point because i want to try too.

Any other suggestions?

More pix soon instead of that one.

I gues it was bad to post that cause it doesnt really shot much of the map.

No offense but yes that screen shots doesnt show anything...

I honestly saw G-man once.. i think its follow freeman, where i was ina rubbled building turned around to look at a TV that wasnt plugged in and lying on the ground and in the TV was Gman then the TV quickly shut off. Creepy. BUt once you guys get to the last 2 chapers... that area is aboclutly amaing.

Jesus... no way ur finished in 10 hours.. lol!

Anyways, this game is absolutly spectacular, so much better than expected. Currently im in the prison. And it is crazy!

i

me and my friend were up till 3 friday night beating halo 2 but i fell asleep, from what i hear the ending is quite the cliffhanger, but kind of disappointing.

OMG YEAH IT was! I was all excited the game was finally going back to Earth then..... the credits came up.. and my draw dropped, wondering why the team decided to leave me hanging like a pair of balls on a hott day.

But all around the multiplayer is awesome and I liked the Single Player to the certain point. And I agree I wish they had more of the game on Earth, and I also which there was more fighting with marines it makes the game so much more intense.

What happens if you already had 1 or 2 of those things.. but decided to do it anyways? (Halo 2)

hmm I personally I would add ditortion on the walls to clip the players and get them stuck.. add more blue lights.. and big red one in the middle... All and all this is an excellent map, I salute you

**Sarcasm**

I'd rather drive a rusty nail through my penis than suffer but one brief moment of working with your cretinous clique.

Thanks thats exactly where it is...

Where is the displacment tool? And how do i got about using it.

How do I create the "light ray" effect? I know its a func_something because i looked at the DOD:S and saw how it was used. Just dont know what func is. Thanks

haha that is a true party bus.... and im going to have to agree Fletch. I dont really drink... just yeah

omG! Fetter if you start mapping for D3 I will honestly kill you!!!>... Honestly!!!... YOu put up such a fight to get me to stop and even KFS was involved...>!!~ You Hypocrit@~!~~!

u look more confused than smiling ;o

Yeah I was still trying to figure out where I was. Got Sex? = no and Invite creepy webgeeks = YES!

And yeah everyone was smoking there.... its crazy. Even I?!?! Omai!

and btw whats an aussie chick?

Not sure if this should be in here or EOT... If EOT go head and move it

Anyways guys, this is my senior homecomming, probably one of the most memorable nights i will have for the rest of my life.

It started out meeting at my friend Jacks house all 36 of us, at 6:30 pm, then we went to an Italian resturant for dinner at 8:00 pm. The try to fuck us by making the tip not included which was like an extra $500 dollars. The rule there is that if it is more than 8 people to a table then tip is included. We eventually got it figured out and headed to the dance at 9:45pm. The dance kinda sucked, it was hott... only a few people were dancing, and you could barely here the music over all the people talking. So we stayed there for an hour and headed out at 11:00 pm to my friends house for a party.

We got there at 11:30, the party involved a bon fire, a party '05 bus, rigged cars blasting music, 3 kegs and jungle juice with 5 handles in it, there were also tents for the eager lovers and where we put the kegs. And of course there was bud being passed around. There was an unbelievable amount of people there. It was a real crazy party, but im sure there have been crazier parties. Well, all of a sudden my friend Jon, who was throwing the party, his dad showed up. Suprizingly enough, he was cool with it and didnt want people leaving because there had been drinking going on. Which is most likely the smartest move you could make in that situation. Well to finish it off, i left at 3 am and headed home. The uncool part of this is that i work the next morning at 11:00 am, so i was still buzzin at work.... which sucked.

Anyways heres some pictures for your viewing pleasure.

These 2 are from Jacks house, these are the ladies that were there.

The party bus, the girl whos camera took these, is the girl with here arms frailing in the air. haha.

This the party at Jons house. some of the ladies there were there... unfortunatly she didnt take any pictures of all the people.

This is another one of the party... and im the blonde kid on the right with my suit on haha. You can obvisiously tell how crazy some of the kids are down here.

Yeah then you got all the other modern warfare HL2 mods.... jeeze... so many its killing me softly.. killing me softly.. oooo ..oooo

Very nice brushwork, it looks quite nice.

Thats one long ass name!

-Anyways, I really like alot of parts in this map, the only think i dont like is the 3rd pic, the brushworkd and lighting are very boring.. have more variance in lights and more black..

Ok I've been owned.

But that doesnt mean i like ur mod. I like the efforts.

Great stuff, and amazing ideas. The box on the rope.. i would have never thought of that. And great job with the statue. Looking great.
