Map description:

Well,

This is my share of the mapping competition. It is the second map I made.
I started mapping December last year, shortly after Half Life 2 was released. I?ve learned a lot about mapping the last 8 month. I want to develop my mapping skills to a professional level.
The first map I made was a real beginner map. There is for instance no advance lightning in the map, no env_sun, to many brushes, no func_details and so on. I have to change a few things and upload it as well.
Next project after that: Dutchy Dutch Counter-Strike. Why? Because Counter-Strike is much more popular than Deathmatch.

Regards,

Paul (Dutchy Dutch)

It looks great! I especially like the first pic, reminds me of something out of a spielberg movie.

Wow, you're gifted. I like the unique feel of your map--it looks very cinematic indeed. I like the concept as well, and the technical execution was well done also.

I look forward to your future maps. Do you ever plan to make a SP map?

Very creative, i like it alot.

Very good looking.

Wow now that looks cool very nice idea, and you've worked it out well

I had a similar idea , but i never executed it . I may still but it'll be vastly different and most likely not as good ;p

Wow! A beautifull map. My favorite in the competition so far. I was glad you put in the teleports in case people fell off the stairs (though my fear is people my sit by the pools throwing in grenades on busy maps).

If you decide to upgrade this map, consider a 3D skybox with objects and detatched stairs/rooms in the distance. The plain black background works, but a touch more eyecandy would be cool.

good luck in the competition!
