maps are only getting worse cause hl2 hammer is strange.... i bet you veteran mappers can make cool maps in no-time 
just that people have to get used to some new stuff i guess.
as for us new guys pposting all these maps, yes we should stop doing that unless they are good maps... i'll wait for myself to make a good map before posting next time

Atleast this guy is using the power of the new hammer.

[addsig]Nice looking map. Let's stick to the topic.
[addsig] hell, I like to go straight from suave to geek many a time. No, I
left for a while in hopes that at least the community would come to a
bit of a realization at how hostile it had become and it wasn't a point
worth wasting hours lurking to prove. I've got a really condensed
Computer systems/Network systems technician course to deal with
currently so it made it that much easier to just leave it until the
mood picked up.
i tend to share this belief, but...
one thing i would like to share though, if you are waiting for me to change, bring a lunch, you're gonna need it.

I chose to avoid the term 'noob' in my original post for a reason.
[addsig]the only problem i have with the word "n00b" is, it seems to have way to many applications.. people use it way to often IMO, to describe a whole plethora of situations. not all of which are "new" in nature. 
it seems to me that the only people who have a problem being called N00B, are suffering from an affliction where n00b doesn't fit them at all.. its the idiots, and the self prepossessed types whom most often have the audacity to bitch when branded n00b.
for the record, in many cases i still consider myself a n00b, in spite of my 5+ years in the mapping scene.. as far as i am concerned, anyone who has a problem being called n00b, doesn't even deserve our time to invest in them.. at the first complaint, we should blackball them.

[addsig]i dunno, if i recall, UT still didn't have anything as rudimentary as even a ladder.
besides, you cannot mix apples and oranges, neither engine is comparable to the other. attempting to find one, or to argue similarities nether posses, is asking for it.
both engines have more potential than we are liable to exceed any time soon.

Im sorry..........that is flat out incorrect. Source isnt as powerful as persay the Unreal 3 engine, or the Doom 3 engine, but it is definitley more powerful than the current UT engine in terms of capabilities.
edit: I will say that the UT editor is more powerful than Hammer, but in terms of engine capabilities....NO!
[addsig]I believe there is a distinction between "n00b" and "newbie". N00b has a negative connotation attached, whereas "newbie" is innocuous. It's subtle, but it's similar to the difference between "Oriental" and "Asian". Personally, I prefer to be referred as a newbie instead of the alternative.
But for me, it's not which term is used, but how it's used that really matters. When used in the wrong context (i.e. condescending and degrading), any term can be demeaning.
