@ stgfly:
The first map screenshots look like they were taken way back before the EP1 engine merged into the old HL2 2004 engine. The screenshots are showcasing the old grass detail sprites.
Looks to be interesting. Definitely fits the gloomy overcast hl2 skyline. I like what I see with the arched colonnade around that unique building. There is plenty of fauna, and the displacements help to make the landscape interesting. The treehouse is a nice touch, and I think the overall "complex" looks like an interesting place to visit if you were passing by it on your way to C17 in the buggy. (single-player anyone?!!?)
The L4D2 map is completely different obviously but sure does get the atmosphere across. I never cared for the completely blacked-out sections of L4D2, (or L4D1 for that matter), and I don't care for them here. I understand the context calls for power outage, but perhaps that could be rectified with some emergency lighting casting some cool shadows across important focal areas? Otherwise, it looks like a genuine L4D map in the images
Looks nice. I would like to play them soon!
