Comments, improvements? Let me hear them!
Also very much <3 to blink for hosting it. :>

Wow! I really like it!

In fact I want to steal the design!

Some really nice content there matey.

heh, thanks for the comments, I am however looking for things that are lacking, tiny nitpicks. Be harsh. I want it to be as good as it can be.

Links are formatted exactly like normal text :\

I did that for the design, but you're right, some people might not notice they are links.
edit: fixed.

*Research and DEVELOPMENT.

Check yo spelling.

Ooops fixed it.

From a pure professional perspective:

Programs
Hammer experienced
Faceposer intermediate
Photoshop beginner
Vue7 intermediate

that isnt going to be of any help. Your definition of experienced-beginner is probably completely different than any other. Also, even if you expect ppl to know all those programs (dont expect them to google for them), you might as well give proper credits to the makers.

You are experienced in Hammer. nice. WHAT did you do with it? built an ikea bookshelf????

Im all for minimalistic sites, but if you really want your portfolio to be of any use, write what you want the viewers to read, dont expect them to know everything you know (because then your site is useless !)

I agree with zombie,

I think if you would give some information you know or what you can do with it, that it's more clear to the viewers,
so if you could explain that you can make a concept from scratch, do research, make a basic layout, do playtesting, adjust, do more mapping, blabla, optimizing, untill you've a final level, which includes making skyboxes in vue etc , that way it would be clearer to the viewer, possible companies who are/might be interested, maybe for new mod teams to work on

well, a portfolio site is the most difficult to make because it's about yourself, everything you do about/for someone else is less difficult because there is a more objective way you can approach it, with personal made things, that's different

I agree with z@c, it's too basic... Expand a bit more on what you've done (Give examples!) and try to think about questions and things that people looking to hire you might want to know.

Good looking maps though!

Good points, I 'll start working on it asap.
edit: voila, should be final.

And thank you for everyone that helped out for the constructive comments!

I love minimalistic and simplistic design, though it's a bit too minimalistic in terms of content.

Why not make a page for every project you've been on and go into detail about what you did and how you did it? It gives you a chance to present the mods greater than they actually are, it also shows you are capable of reflection and put much thought into your design choices. How was the process? Communication, tools and so on. I don't see any resume either, unless you think your site is one by itself.
