Squad

We've come a long way over the years on here from making HL1 mod maps.

Very nice ! I'll do my best to find an idea and participate !  

Hell yeah, this has been a while  Looking forward to this!

You better finish that remake. It's looking pretty promising!
Yeah, I like the vibes of Tangerine as well. It's really rough around the corners, but with some more TLC it could turn out as something special. That is, if @Harry Poster wants to keep working on it.
A lot of promising maps from the contest, some that didn't make it to the list. I hope their respective creators manage to take them to the next level.

was a productive year
A respectful batch of awesome maps and envs
Still impressed what you guys are doing with CSGO, pushing the engine to its limits

Oh, thank you your comment made my day
This is extra motivation to keep writing new articles and papers

Thanks Squad, always appreciate your cheers and support
Thanks Vaya; your optimization questions about open maps were an additional motivation to concentrate on writing and finishing this article
Thanks, glad to hear
Thank you
Thanks Shawn I see you updated my grade to optimization God feels good
Seriously though, I just believe in sharing my humble knowledge for the greater good of the community. I do know a thing or two about Source but there are many things that I don't; and I still learn new things from virtually everyone around me in the community
If anyone has questions related to this article, please feel free to post them here and I'll try my best to reply and clarify.
Cheers

Another fine article Great job, will2k!

Great contest!
2 months seems really short though, but definately gonna consider this!

@MapCore can we have a sticky Discussion Thread or Subforum like for the Unreal Tournament contest? It would be helpful to talk to others since the tools for DoI seem sparsly documented.

I worked with these guys for a little over 5 years, and it was in no small part responsible for where I am today, if anyone is on the fence about this, do it, you won't regret! 

Dang, time to warm up the DoI Hammer again. Let's see if i'm able to get something playable done. Good luck and lots of fun for every participant!

Cool. I feel I learnt a lot about encounters on Crysis, but working on Killzone 3 really solidified my understanding of when you talk about fronts and arranging the cover to create a no man's land, etc. It's cool to read this, as I think people who've worked on a few titles internalize this stuff but it's great to see it all written down and illustrated as a reminder and also for people new to the process!
You should probably also link to a YouTube video of the encounter playing out too, btw!
