I was gonna tell you but ok. Anyway the maps are picked randomly from phillip's collection. We've had really bad maps so yours is above average in that respect

Hey, can you categorize this under 'HLDM' instead of HL? Thanks.
Anyway this myroom rats map as a whole looks nice and simple. I also like that door handle. It's good that players can gain height via the use of func_ladders. However I suspect you haven't tried your hand at actually playing HL deathmatch.
First of all, the placement of all the weapons are hard to reach. They are all up high on a shelf and no additional ammunition are provided anywhere else. This is bad especially on one-big-room maps because all players are constantly firing away at one another. 12 shotgun shells or 10 gauss shots go out very fast. I don't think I have to mention how fast 1 rocket goes. And then everyone will have to conduct a symphony of glockshots.
Never, ever provide the gauss in the middle of the map where anyone can easily get it. In case you didn't know, in DM, gauss is THE most powerful (yes, even more than gluon gun) weapon. Skilled player (or most anybody, for that matter) will use the charge-up gauss to kill everyone else (who can barely fight back due to the hard-to-reach weapon placements) very quickly.
Do not craft pitch-black areas (like the one near the flashlight) in DM. Players DO NOT get to use flashlights in DM so pitch black areas end up as places for blind firing.
Once players have teleported up to the top of the cupboard there doesn't seems to be a way down safely. I tried jumping from that poster but the fall damage is still pretty bad. Given that there are no medkits or wall first aids, that fall can quickly kill players who are also being shot at constantly.
Here's some little things:
The carved cylinder at the left side of the machine under the window is badly clipping everything. Movement there is very choppy, try for yourself. In DM everyone is going to run around like maniacs to dodge each other and bad clipping is definitely problematic.
What's with the glass on that right side cupboard? There's nothing behind it, it's like glass taped onto a solid cupboard wall

This may be because of the poor economy in america right now, but in certain other countries this problem is a lot a lot worse. I believe you're right about the super rich people being selfish. Like, this one guy I heard purposefully buys several homes at once, not for living in but for the sole purpose of forcing the house prices to inflate. This prevents your typical middleclassman from buying a home. It's pretty sad, anyway enjoy being a democrat.

depends on how well the person knows you. In the worst case, though, it could get pretty bad. Authorities may get involved. You'll be alienated faster than mark zuckerberg in that facebook movie. In the best case... well I'm not an optimistic person, so, tough luck.

Think I played this a long time ago. Sorry but can't remember it too well, it was a really long time ago. It 'was' being hosted? You mean he took it down and all?

dunno if you should divert time to predisaster, just thinking: Although I don't do this, a number of people prolly will just rush thru the predisaster areas so they can quickly get to the action parts. I'm thinking maybe when you have finished all the maps, you can come back to polish the earlier maps. That way the mod will be insured for survival since all the maps are finished.

pshh, my maps take on average 1 year to make. Really gotta keep your eyes on the end product and I really hope you guys don't go 1 map per year like me, or worse... no maps per year..

to my exp, people aren't known to be considerate of others. Next to my habitat are these dumbasses who play loud music every frickin day, and sometimes late at night. You don't think there are much of this kind of persons but we always get to meet them.

Dimbark, you really should take some reading comprehension classes.

I highly recommend you leave Duke's (white) base alone. They are the ones with all the ghosts and nukes. Just take out Mengsk (red) and rush the ion cannon. Do not attack ghosts.
Speaking of which, there's a mincraft pick crowbar replacement for HL1. So come join us and play half life, please.

It's unfinished, I shouldn't rate it.
What's funny is I'm imagining brendan, this adolescent man, talking to this doctor, using such terms as 'wtf' and 'shit'. Pretty funny.
with test users two and one!
