What's worse is people are DOWNLOADING them!!! And there's a killbox in BETA, how can a killbox be in BETA?! It's a box!!!

keep snarling guys, you may intimidate them enough to not come here peddling their wares.

but, don't get your hopes up, as long as there are stupid people allowed to play HL, there will be such maps made, and played.

Yeah that one's about the only one that's half-decent. The bounce one is so lazy it's unbelievable. Bounce could be a great map for hl2dm, I reckon another large main area could be added to it aswell. I'm too lazy to make this, however, anyone here think they could do it well?

In all fairness, I don't get the impression that it is meant as a serious map the way most killboxes are. I think the author was just screwing around, and indeed it seems pretty entertaining to me that you can do somthing like that with the buggy so easily.

The people commenting on the other hand...

What are you talking about? That map is terrible. Yeah, it's great and all that they managed to translate the original across and it's recognizable as crossfire, but they made it larger than it originally was and did nothing to accomodate the different movement speeds and jumping distances. To make a proper crossfire map it would have to be smaller, not larger, and would need a modified layout. I can't even directly translate a simple map like my Torque, what makes anyone think they can directly port crossfire, a map that worked only because the ridiculous amount of weaponry balanced itself out and there was a layout that provided cover yet no cover. This version plays like crap and was far less entertaining than even overwatch.

Plus they didn't even put guns in the towers, and when I played last night the nuke didn't work. That's the whole point of crossfire, for crying out loud.

Hey! Take it easy guys... All can't be as smart, cool and intelligent as you are!

you are missing the point i think. no one is talking about being highly intelligent, or even smart, just competent.

i think seriously that the outlook around here will only escalate. killbox made with HL2's engine would be like adding a blower to your riding mower.

bottom line, i have no more or less respect for anyone who builds or plays them, than they do for themselves.

Orph, I wasn't meaning for this topic to become another one of your lovely debates I was bored, and happened to find this stuff thanks to planethalflife.com... They listed all the crap ones in their News for God's sake!

Hopefully in time we can fill that page with all our lovely maps, eh?
