The HRAFD level I'm working on lags horribly even though theres less than 300 wpoly rendered at a teim and only about 70 epoly... Never had such issue.

Check the dynamic lights. Even one can give my laptop a nightmare.

And check fps_max in the console. XD

There are like only 4 lights in whole map, and my rig can handle Witcher 3 on medium, so guess it's more of an optimisation issue. Which strangely appeared when I started using null

Never had lags on levels with much more geometry and entities that used bevel though....

That's weird.

Check if the V-Sync is enabled. Disable it if so

Competition 10 - Build a Machine Brief
Info
The original Half-Life had some wonderful machines. Some small, some big. Generators, compactors, Gear driven giants. Squashers, crushers, furnaces, rotors and rollers. Not all these machines actually did anything, some were just their for ambience and feel.
Create a room with a machine and make the machine belong. It doesn't have to do be a "functional" part of the map, but it must look as though it is meant to be there. Enhance it with lasers, func_rotating, func_platforms, moving gears and lights and whatever else you can think of. Stuck for ideas? Have a look in the opening maps in HL... remember that welding robot? The small electricity generators in the corridor?
1st place goes to the most impressive machine that fits the surrounding map.
