Hmm, I couldnt fit in any place for HL2 mods :/ Maybe specify a HL2 favriote + HL1 favriote.



I would love to change the world, But they would'nt give me the source code.

There are to many mods to have only 6 choices. I also do not think you can combine OP4 and CTF.

If I had a wish, I'd have wished OP4 to have been more popular since it was by far my favorite.

I would vote Op4, but not combined with CTF.

Bit behind the times by putting down HL1 engine stuff aren't you? :P

HL2DM for me, primarily because the game doesn't really impose any theme restrictions. There is something about CS/DoD/etc... that make them only really work with realistically themed maps, which isn't something I tend to do.

Underdog, the choice was just OP4, and was inclusive of its DM and CTF gameplay types.

HL2DM, definitely. Since it's 'plain' deathmatch it's much less restricting than most mods. I like to play it now, too, so that's another reason of course... <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_wink.gif">

I like HL2DM over HLDM mainly because the gravity gun and the physics combat. Physics are fun to use in other ways, too. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I dont have HL2 so its HLDM for me, because you arent restricted to making a map that leads perfectly to a bomb site or whatever. You can map anything, and you can map it non-linear. So technicaly, you could map you school or sumthing and the map would play fine <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif">

Oh, no, SpoolE, even DM maps don't just immediatly play fine... though they are perhaps easier to get right than teamplay mods like CS, there's definitely though needed for a good and fun map. I know a really good article about it but too bad it's in German...

When I mapped, back in the days of HL, TS was my favourite mod to map for. You could do any theme, it all fit into the mod. Damn, I wish they'd make TS for source. :/

? quoting Myrk-

Then, why wasn't CTF added to anything else? Surely there are other mods that have it as well.

Still, you may have a point. I prefer Op4DM.

HLDM, because when mapping for a game like CS or DOD you find yourself forced to make realistic things (well, if you want your map to fit in with the mod's theme at least). DM mapping allows you to cook-up anything you wish since realism isn't such an important factor there.

I noticed snarkpit's little "snark" and the "new topic" (And "new reply") were models from Op4. Op4 4tw!

I like mapping for CS. I feel like I'm very familiar with how the game plays and it gives me confidence to map for it (ie I won't botch the layout like I would with a HL2DM map).

TFC was by far my fav to map for (released 10 maps for it) but I did enjoy actually playing the game as well so it made it more appealing. This is why I am really looking forward to FortressForever because hopefully I can get back into it (finally got bored of TFC after 6 years).
