Looks like a kinda 'Xen meets Combine' kinda thing, I love it! I have no criticisms, based on what I've seen. It's very unique and I wouldn't change anything about it.
Good luck with any future projects

Looks fantasmo! BUT i also think that they are going to be biased towards HL2 themed maps. Unfortunately, my map is NOT HL2 themed. I hope they're not prejudiced against it. [addsig]

Thanks for the replies
Yeah after about 15 days into construction I came to realize that I probably wasn't going to win the contest for the simple fact that it isn't your basic HL2 map, which is what they're probably looking for :/ Ah well, I can always hope.
To get the items to respawn I just put a bunch of teleporter brushes on the "floor" and made them all spawn to different parts of the map. After a very long time trying to figure out a better way, I don't think one exists.

Wow this is looking great!, you should add some more shots (smaller too) also, were you able to to get the objects to respawn? I was never able to fix that problem (though I didn't work on it much)

Indeed, a well done map!
And perhaps they judge it as a a good combine-themed map. It has definitely something alien over it...

I agre with Yak - the map looks very eye-catching, unique, and well...cool - but I don't think you have a chance of winning with it. I'm in the camp that thinks Valve are looking for HL2 themed maps, and this certainly isn't that. Best of luck anyway, it looks like a nice piece of work

Like I said on mapcore, it looks awesome. Resize the screenshots though, they're way too big. Even for my 1152 x 768 res.

Woah
That looks pretty damn cool. I seriously doubt you'll have a chance of winning the contest given that it really doesn't follow the HL2 theme, but still, way to go.
