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 :smile:

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.

Thanks for the replies :smile:

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)

Yeah too big but a very mysterious map :O

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 :smile:

nice map =) very nice archetechture ! =)

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.
