Good work, and I have some suggestions:

- Make the ground into a displacement also. You can make your own blended materials for this, so you can keep the current texture and add spots of grass, together with detail.vbsp to add 2D-grass detail sprites on the grass-spots on the displacement (omg, hard to read eh?). Some bulges here and there but not mountainpeaks .

- Spotlights in dark areas, like the red cagelight-prop with an intense red light_spot pitched downwards from the prop.

- Env_sun

y00 can do bettar fettar~

It does look very good playability wise.

It looks good. It's a little different than every other map being made for hl2, which is a good thing.

[D3adlode]

Looking good.

There's one thing I notice in HL2 maps...they're so gloomy and grey (except the sky).

Nice job on the map so far von*ferret ...Only thing I would complain about has more to do with the new engine than you. :wink:

Looks cool to play and I like the theme, but to me it just doesn't look like source. Most likely because you have been liberal with your use of props and displacement surfaces On a more serious note though, adding in more colour and contasting lighting will make a huge difference, as would a bit of an increased detail level. Got potential though, looking forward to playing it

-Spotslights have been included in the latest built.

-Env_Light will stay the same. I like the dirty feeling. Color will come from the action, spotlights, and players.

-The map is probably not going into the HLDM contest RD. SPeaking of which I'd love to talk to you about entities.

-the Sorroundings are not on display for a reason, they are not done yet. I'm focusing on getting good frame rates with what needs to be in place before sprinkling the building props everyone goes gooey for.

-I'll look into adding grass detail sprites to the dirt, but I dont know how and at this point there are other priorities. But we love the idea and tried it yeterday afternoon real quick.

-This skybox doesn't have a real "sun" location so an env_sun might not be nesc.

-Strat I know it doesn't look complex and uber interesting. But that is kinda the point. The gameplay is intense and different from anything else you're going to find for HL2DM.

-Reno I think you're meaning to say I've been "conservative" with my use of displacement and props. Like I said, i added spotlights I'll try to update the pics sooner or later.

LOL good point Ferret, dunno why I the hell I mixed those two up

[static07]

looks good reminds me somehow of both cs_assault and de_vertigo

[RA7]

Nice indeed, reminds of me of VERTIGO.

First I'd grab it firmly on the hip with my right hand as I penetr.... Er.. Everything is great imo, except for the barricade things. You should be able to pick them up and fire them around as well.

[OL]

i havnt played it, but from the shots it looks pretty barren... like a hl1 map almost. you should liven it up a little with some machinery maybe, scaffolding, construction site stuff.

if its for hl2dm it should have lots to throw around also, i dont see much!

[nico]

perhaps some new screens soon?

[DelaZ]

Looks cool but reminds me of vertigo. I bet the HL2 engine can do alot more than this

[spacer]

It looks a lot like Max Payne 2... which is a good thing .
