  1. So long as you're very well aware how easy it is to delude oneself about a map's complexity. ;) I think we're all quite guilty of that.

    And remember that people learned the goldeneye maps because that's all they *had*. Your map does not have the benefit of official status so it has to be as immediately accessible and comprehensible as possible, and at the same time offering really interesting gameplay. I would rethink the corridors or at least learn their lesson when you go to plan your next map.

    I also like to think that the general understanding of what makes for good, interesting multiplayer flow has evolved since goldeneye was out ;s

  2. there is a real sense of movement in that concept art--that wall is definitely progressing forward toward the camera, taking down buildings or anything else in its way. your wall looks like a static piece of architecture built in a funny shape.

    it doesn't help that the textures are totally misaligned either, you've got seams everywhere and it doesn't make much sense. i'd ditch it altogether, the sea was much better and far more dramatic.

  3. Actually, i think mapcore has too many subforums that never get a post. Merge some of them would result in something much more active, something nicer ever.

    Agreed. Having so many subforums is just kind of awkward imo, it adds a lot more layers and clicks to arrive at any content :/

    Most of them have nothing going on and even the active subforums have topics on the first page dating back 2-3 months.

    If it were up to me there'd be like four categories: General discussion, C&C/Pimpage, classifieds, and EOT.

    but hey.

  4. I wasn't even planning on building a hl2dm map until a couple weeks before the deadline, when I figured I might as well see if I could whip something up. I did send in a layout-complete build to Valve but I recently heard there was some problem with the submission. Oh well, no matter.

    Pretty much all the work since then has just been prettying it up and balance tweaking.

  5. I just think you should know better than to directly ask that an admin name names. It's an anonymous vote and none of our business unless they want to come forward with their reasoning. I respect Irish for doing so despite his vote being the unpopular one.

    btw I don't recall the details but I seem to recall that the husband *has* remarried, though I could be gravely mistaken since I haven't been following the story. Anyway that's none of my business.
