Map Description

My first attempt at the Source Engine. Plays well with 5+ players, however 8+ it starts to get phenomenal gameplay. Will release sooner or later. Havn't decided whether or not I want to submit for the Valve competition. Everything is done but small tweaks and maybe player start and weapon tweaks.

Yah, this looks pretty good, especially for something like a construction site. I'd like to DL it and give a real critique.

Holy sh*t, that looks great. Just enter the compo with it ...

Ah, that wasn't really visible from the first shots, but hey, I think it's a good amount now. Well spread arount the map then, isn't it? Oh well, playtesting still has some function... :razz:

Wow, that many? Boy it looks like a lot, I think you may have gone overboard. Think of all the physics spam you can do with 10 barrels and a bunch of breakable skids :razz:

sonic and i had some fun tonight. We decided to prove to you all there
ARE physics objects EVERYWHERE and gathered some and put them in the
cart. However the car proved to be too small so we moved to the truck.
Even the truck couldn't handle the portion of objects we gathered. SO
THERE.

Uhm, indeed, you may want to edit that post to get it right...

Well, so far this thingie looks nice, promising. Though I think I'd like it more when it was brighter. But perhaps that isn't a problem when seen in-game.
I also think you could do more with height in this map. It kindof reminds me of an old DOS game called Bleus Brothers, the 5th level featured some heigh buildings and cranes. Could be nice to balance over small ridges and jump over swinging I-bars and such to get to a high-powered weapon. Adding some worker elevators and the like... yeah, I think you could use height to great advantage here... so far it looks like you have only 2 floors available.

As for phycics objects... I think there are too few of them. Don't spam it, but don't forget about it too, you know... Nevertheless looks like it'll become a good map. Keep it up!

I didn't mean to spam the level with objects, but as it is, I can only see 3 barrels and 6 exploding barrels. There is some ground between ruling the gravgun out as a weapon, and filling the level with so many objects the players can't even move!

there are a ton already, though they are in an orderly position at the
moment. I'm not goint to spam the map with hundreds of physics objects.
They lag servers, hinder player movement, and every noob on the planet
will be doing that.

I agree with Yak, looks great but needs a few more objects in there :razz:

This is the second time somebody's done this, it may be a forums problem...

Anyways, this looks really cool, and I'd love to see it ingame. My only suggestion is to add more phys objects as it looks a little sparse from those screens.
