Just dropping in to let you all know about this mapping contest currently going on over at http://www.gamebanana.com/ for Half Life 1, 2 and episodes. Thought it might interest a few of you.
Create an SP map for any HL1/2 game
that lasts between 3 and 10 minutes.
You have 40 Days - contest ends January 8, 2012.
We're looking for a Half-Life 1, 2, episode 1 or episode 2 map that on a second play through take about 3 - 10 minutes to play through (this means that once we've got any puzzles put in figured out it shouldn't take more than the set time to complete the level). We will take into account everything when coming to a conclusion on a map, that means that gameplay is just as important as looks, and optimization never goes amiss.
Your map can have any theme, it might not even fit in the Half-Life universe, which is fine by us, but you will not be penalized by having an unoriginal setting (just make sure you don't steal and remake any content already available).
Each map submitted will also receive a full review from at least one of the judges.
There are also a few prizes up for grabs for the best maps (all through Steam);
- Portal 2
- Thief: Deadly Shadows
- Limbo
- F.E.A.R.: Ultimate shooter edition
