I have always loved the crisp textures used in Doom/Quake maps of late. My only concern is, with the crispness of the textures, people are making sterile feeling maps. Its almost hospital clean sometimes.

Nice Andrew, very nice. If you could see your way to adding a bit of something for the contest it would be appreciated. We need a name, with a bit more umpff than mine this time.

Old Orph seems to have lost his touch. Times were, I knew a hundred people by ICQ number who'd kill to join.

*sighs*

Mayhap, if I can pull off what I wanna build, more would take me serious again.

I wouldn't place Andrew in with your common Joe's but I also do not think it guarantees a win being a paid level designer either.

It could be argued however, that "IF" he enters and is the only Q4 entrant, that he would win that game by default.

I also think that if we have 19 entries from HL2 and 2 for HL1 that they cannot be competed against each other. The two with HL1 maps would be in a class by themselves and voted 1st and second place accordingly.

/my thinking.
