The very pixelated ar2 reminds me of doom. I like it

(I'm pretty sure the lowest level of gfx on hl2 would make it look like doom itself, I saw a list of commands somewhere...)

Well, I WAS making a pretty cool zombie fighting map called oc_infection, basically a non-linear Left 4 Dead-ish thing. Still haven't gotten around to fixing the zombie spawn points and removing tau cannon.

Other than that, I've got this new project. It's a last-stand-y game where the story is that you and a group of rebels had set up a small fort to help along refugees...until you realize you created it a few kilometers away from an underground Combine outpost and they're already wondering why a couple of humans are on the roof of a stone building. So you have to fight it out till a rebel reinforcement troop drives by with explosives to detonate the outpost. It has this uber-awesome intro sequence with the Combine troop placing the bomb on the door and stuff, plus my own custom music. Can't get a screenshot in at the time, but I'll have plenty of media tomorrow, I think.
I also heard very few new mappers use the briefing. You'll be happy to know this map has its own custom briefing

I have bad luck on forums, though. If you're gonna say my idea could use heavy improvement or that I'm a noob or whatever, feel free to bash me. I still don't know what I'm good at. Certainly isn't modeling, anyways.

^ Happy to see the apc making a comeback I really miss the fun we used to have attacking each other with those, dont even get me started on flying the heli's, darn those were the days! (Freespace ftw) :'(

Tonight I opened hammer for first time in a few weeks,

I'm trying to build some solid 256x256, subdivided, curving displacements that arch 90 degrees and gain height of 128 units. Trying to get some tunnel shapes sorted out in hammer so I can start to determine the shape of the map lay-out in my head/on paper.

^ I gave up on that method, I cant see how the vertexs are invalid but nether the less when I re-open hammer, the displacements screw up, flicker in the camera view. I didn't check whther the vertexs moved but I guess they did.

A very small Multiplayer/deathmatch map for O.C. Should be done by the end of this or next week. All that time over at Interlopers has to show some where. Though, until this is done, it's not a good example of my skill.

Looks a little empty especially the ceilings, apart from that looks good.

Also some texture alignments (i.e colums)

Thanks for the input fug.

Some progress:

Like I said before, this is a small map.
