what guns are acceptable to use nowadays? is the egon still grossly overpowered?
Weapons IMO have always been so:
Size of map is equal in direct proportion to total weaponry placed.
I have also, never truly found a map that compliments the Egon so its.. Authors choice.
My weapon of choice is the MP5, so my maps tend to reflect that. Many favor the shotgun, which I hate and my maps often reflect this too. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
But seriously, any weapon short of the Egon is fine for almost any map. Its really how many of each thats truly important.
/2 cents.
56k isn't the internet, it's a cruel mockery of the internet.
and to think i saw these posts and was excited that maybe they had something to do with the thread's topic ;p
assuming I do this conversion, is there anywhere other than here that hosts or reviews HLDM maps anymore? I'm going to do it either way, it's just whether I decide to do any major entity work for some special stuff, or whether I just dump in the DM gun/ammo entities and be done with it.

Not about the map per say but about HL1.
I used to frag it pretty regular with 56k. My pings sucked but I could play.
If I endured the horrible updating with steam, do you guys think I could frag again?
I cannot even load HL1 because its not updated enough. 
I tremble each time someone posts "Steam update blah blah" in the general forums.

Frissi, I don't hate you, or your maps.
If I hated you, I'd go to where you hang out and say so. You come here remember.
If I sound angry, its because you are short changing yourself. I see so much more in you.
Anyway.. This is Jinxy's thread and.. I have no clue why we are in here.

If I wanted an impudent reply I would have asked for one.
Personal flames and thread diversions not tolerated. Shape up, brother.

Please don't drag personal flames into this thread, Frissi - if you have something to say to Orpheus, I am sure he will be happy to discuss it with you privately.
Attacking him on this thread isn't doing your reputation any favours, nor is it on topic with the thread.
