In France don't live so many russians Due to the fact that France was a colonial power it is full ob arabs, northern africans and africans. Most of them are not integrated in the society, poor, without a perspective, and as a result criminal. I doubt that this conflict has to do with religion.

Its not jihad. Its the explosive mix of multiculturalism and social tension. Imo France is only the beginning of a development. Too many foreign people want to life in the european union but will never have a chance to have a good life in it and then they start to hate the countrys they life in.

I miss the days that Factor 5 was located in germany

Must suck to have snow already.

Brazil. All your talents are Football, Samba and Capoeira. Your government doesnt give a fuck about the poor people so they rob and kill each other. I heard the country had something like a rain forest. Is it still there? Your race drivers never have a chance against their german teammates. And your girls are hot. Everybody likes hanging around on the beach of Rio, flirting with the girls and drinking Caipirinha. Germany

Massachusets. Boston and the MIT is all i have heard from of this part of the world. Thats not much. So you must be very boring there Germany again.

Where is Delaz when hes needed?

games released in episodes will make it even worse. Most retarded idea evr by the way - imo. Players complain about short playtimes of modern games and what do developers? think releasing games in episodes is cool :roll:

Yea there is some annoying bugs n stuff but imo source is still a dream to work with as modder. The game i modded before (Call of Duty) was a nightmare. There was no sourcecode and nearly no documentation and support for the sdk.

They should fix the annoying inverted alphamaps hammer bug before adding hdr to the sdk.

There is a mapping community. Mapcore is only a part of it. I know a few other forums with plenty of mappers. And the hl2 modding community is everything else then small. Only Battlefield 2 has a similar huge modding community. I think the reason you don't see so much is because so many people work on mods. I for example map, model, skin and texture nearly every day but i cant show the most of it because the mod isnt released yet. Next year the situation will change imo. There will be some good mods released.

The church is really nice. <3 the architecture and textures.

Needs bigger boobs and smaller feets.

Mix of photo and handpainted. Markus is very good with his wacom. Here is the demolished version:

the lighting in the floor texture comes from the wrong direction. Maybe let this job do a normalmap instead of textururing it?

It's sad to see the same textures and models again and again in different games. A retail game should have its complete own content or i will always have the impression that they only want my money. I could cry when i see the ugly naked overused to the max hl2 trees in so many games, mods and maps... :roll:

Indeed nice work. Peris: You can configure the resolution of the cubemaps in hammer. But huge values can be very expensive as you can imagine.

Afaik is real time raytracing the future. I have heard of it before. Modern hardware and even the coming next gen technology is too slow for it tho. But wait a few years and you will see it in games.

It depends on the society you live in. When i grow up in East Germany all the athlets were heroes for us and we were fucking proud of every gold medal at the oplympics etc. In some countrys the success of the athlets is still very important for the national identity. Nowadays in western countrys sport has become less important. A few sportsmen are still national "heroes" tho. Michael Schumacher, Jan Ullrich, some of the ski jumpers etc. Also athlets who win at the olympic games become often very popular in germany for example.

Afaik are basketball players the best payed athlets. Tiger Woods (Golf) and Michael Schumacher (Formula One) are on top of the individual list tho.

I only know helloween from movies.
