? quoting Orpheus
You know, when I posted this I fully expected at least 100 maps by now.

When HL1 was out, my maps folder was like 4 gigs. Yeah it had a s**tload of mapping crap in there but a fair portion was good old .BSP's.

Maybe it's the current lack of a large reviewing website for HL2DM? I too remember having my HL1 maps dir being gigabytes in size...and got almost all of them from the old Radium reviewing website.

Whilst it is possible to jump on a new server and try out some new HL2DM maps, I'm not particularly keen on this myself as I've been biten a number of times wasting time encountering poor levels and moving from server to server, then having to trawl through my maps dir and delete all the chaff.

I have a new favorite map. Yes Orph its for CounterStrike.. if you get a chance just take a look at a few of the maps, no need to play the game.

de_inferno is just truely amazing. I felt as if I was right in the middle of a quiet old Italin or Mexican villiage.. The fish in the pond, the bells each with its own tone, the uneven stairs, the clay pots and flowers in them, the little kitchens in the houses, the winding stair case, the different levels, and then the surrounding sky box with the hills and trees and distant buildings.. The way the two tanks block the one entrance to the villiage and the Counter Terrorist start there was a nice touch. The way the generator and lamp were set up in the construction zone.. the cannon and the tarnished plate with the map name and kudos to the oringinal map builder, all very nice touches. As a mapper I hope to some day be this good. The attention to detail in this map is just awesome.

This map has become my favorite.

There was a map made by orph, that was sci-fi, wth blue lights and winding halls that was amazing back in old hldm days.. Id love to see an pdate to that map in source.

Check out this interlopers map of the month, this time for CS:S:

http://hl2.scrapdump.com/alexroyce/de_crookcounty/

I haven't played it yet (since my computer would likely explode) but apparently it's a huge, and hugely detailed map with room enough for 64 players. The bsp is 30 megs.... and its full of custom content etc.

Has anyone played this beast? It's definitely the nicest looking and most detailed living creation I've ever seen (well... in screenshots), but I'm not sure its playable. Anyone?

Whoa! I WAS sick of city maps but this is VERY big and beautiful. That looks like some territory for some seriously nice gameplay. I'm pretty impressed. For as simple as the maps' theme is, it is pretty wicked.
