I don't like TF2 but enjoyed playing it in one of the playtests It looks great.
On a side note, I don't think that the map having rain or looks dark is of much influence
It works better than it did before. But the so called "Source Engine 2009" hammer still doesn't work properly. I still get the black grid. Sigh. So i'm mapping with the 2007 engine and compiling with VBCT under 2009.
I just returned from my 2 week break at hammer and it seems that my vacation has been lengthened. I'd rather wait for another update than using an old binary. For some reason i believe it could do harm.

All WIP ofcourse. Lighting must get better and the windows need models.
