in any case, i sure hope that they release the entries in a map pack.



Sounds like a good idea Orph, but would you be willing to wait anywhere from 6 months to 2 years for it?

Winning maps look good. I'm going to have to wait until I play them some more before passing judgement. [addsig]

After playing Overpass I can confidently say that Torque was a much better map and would have been a more deserving winner. Dead ends, cramped tunnels, few open areas, props blocking movement everywhere, tiny doorways and a number of other things make Overpass something thats okay, but needs a hell of a lot of work. I'd say valve were impressed with the visuals and nothing more, particularly with doorways you can't access but seem to lead into another area, as opposed to boarded up doors. And thats about it. What a gip.

Underpass got posted on mapcore a while back and recieved quite a lot of feedback, so I'm sure it would be the Ferret we know. Mapcore is down for me at the moment so I can't get you a link, but the beta was posted there and the download might still be functional.

EDIT: Agent, were you playing the right map? The winner is "underpass", not "overpass".

i was considering doing an unofficial critique of the map. i saw some things i would have changed, but all in all it looked solid enough.

but as i said, i want to see the other maps. i am betting my reputation that there were better maps. this "winner" looked nice, but i felt it was missing that little thing that separates truly great from very good.

anyone want to see some screens of this map?

Sorry, I meant underpass. I checked out the link that nooba posted. It's a cool looking map, but just doesn't seem to be set out well enough for a good DM map. Construction, etc is great, but layout is lacking.
