Map Battle 13 - At The Movies

[BaRRaKID]

Time for another map battle (i started to feel sorry about the cat), seing as many people sugested this theme, here it is.
You will have to recreate a scene from a famous movie, there aren't any limitations to what you can do except for the ones mentioned on the rules. Also when posting your map say wich movie the scene is from, and when possible provide a screen capture of that part of the movie. You don't have to make a exact replica of the movie, but the map should be at least inspired by it. Here are some sites that may help you:

Now on to the rules, please read them carefully since there are some changes.

RULES:

- Your map needs to be inspired by a movie, or a scene from a movie. You don't have to make a exact copy, but make it similar enough so that we can say where it comes from.

- Please state what's the name of the movie, and the part that your mapping. If possible post a image from the movie.

- You can only post 3 screenshots, and you can only submit one map. I would prefer if you didn't saved the screenshots as thumbnails, and instead use the direct link (in case you'r using a free image hosting site)

- When posting your screenshots, always explain if they are final or still wip. Any screenshot map that is not labeled as final wont be acepted.

- The final screenshots most be taken ingame with proper light (no fullbright please), and textured. This means, finish your map before posting it!

- Additional mods like bloom mod and garrys's mod CAN'T be used, only HL2, HL2DM, CS:S, DOD:S and Loast Coast (or any other official mod) are allowed.

- Usage of garry's mod to take screenshots, and to place ragdolls/npcs, or props (specially props) is forbiden. Only the map is taken in consideration, so making this won't help you much.

- You can't use any extra software (like photoshop for example) to enhance your screenhosts. Of course usual changes like resizing, croping, or adding your name on the images are allowed.

- You can use maps that you had already made, but that have never been used in any of the other battles. When using an already made map, be sure that it fits with the theme, so that you don'tt get disqualified.

- You can use custom content. When using costum content wich you did not made, make sure you have permission to use it.

- The maps are judged according to their visual quality, so make them look the best you can.

- The maps don't need to be playable. You just have to create a scene wich is visually good, not a full playable map, so don't worry about stuff like optimization, or gameplay.

- Avoid posting your pictures with big resolutions, since the forum resizes them, and they may loose some quality. Try 800x600 or 640x480

- Keep in the spirit of things and show off your work in progress shots.

The battle ends at the 2nd of August, at midnight (24:00h) GMT. If needed there can also be a time extend of 1 or 2 days.

Deadline extende to the 6th of August (Sunday), midnight GMT (24:00h)

Good luck every one!

[MercX]

I'm thinking about this one... it leaves an opening for some really sweet scenes

[BaRRaKID]

Blink is the one who handles the winner avatar. Or maybe one of the admins (looks at shadow) could do it

[Ennui]

This is an awesome battle. I'm too busy with my BG custom maps to take part, but I'm excited to see what people do

[Kolezan]

Does it have to be from a FAMOUS movie? or just a movie?
