pretty much my first HL2 DM map.. nothing special texture or enviromentaly wise, but i think it could be kinda fun for about 6 players, anymore could get a little crowded. its basicly a raised platform which is made up of a bunch of smaller platforms and "bridges" that are connected together . there is a big drop to the surface which upon impact kills the player and on the way down you'll most likely end up hitting a variety of bars that go out here and there, just to show off the sexiness of the ragdoll physics engine and cuz it looks cool . haha, let me know what u think:

hes suggesting that you make the walls and ground look less flat.
i know, maps that look really simple are usually really fun, but theyre too easy to make. if you get it on a server, whoop dee doo, congratulations, but i suggest making a nice real(ish) looking map. alot of the hl2dm custom maps at the moment are just killboxes like the above, and we dont really need any more, so try the good map way, and see how you go.

oh yea i figured that... ya i know i wasnt shootin for best looks obviously but maybe a few people mite find it fun or sutin.. still could use a host for the map tho if anyone knows of one

p.s. i was curently workin on a better lookin one than just a 'kill box', had lost some motivation but i think i got it back, will post screens in the other forum once i do a little bit more work, so thanks for the motivation

Word of advice box maps are ok to start out with just dont release too many of them.

It's finished?


It's in the completed maps section, so it must be. I just don't understand...
