I just came back from a very long absence from TWHL, and I am pretty happy! Almost done with DOOM 3 and ending Nova Prospekt in HL2; can't wait to get to Source mapping.
My rule is to beat the game first and then when I start mapping I don't spoil stuff to myself. I JUST CAN'T WAIT! I'm already thinking of doing a simple map with Rebels vs. Combine, LoTR style! Oh yeah baby!

Enjoying Tribes: Vengeance goodness! GET IT NOW!! 
I'M BACK!!
Just visited abandoned-places.com, and I was awed at the pictures!
I have got two ideas on a map, the first one is to do a DOOM 3 style level, and the other one to do a tall cathedral style building that looks a bit like the Combine from Half-Life 2.
And, yes, I know not to map for my imagination but for the engine; another reason I can't wait for mapping with Source! From what I've read so far, the maps will be HUGE, taking you ten minutes to walk across a full-sized one!

Well I'm happy to join this mapping community! Hello to everyone!
Just finished the In the Beggining tutorials yesterday; can't wait to get my hands on more complicated stuff and make my own maps, I already have an idea going through in progress.
Note to other fellow newbies, if it's your first time to compile a map and it turns out floodlit, check the box when you press F9, the RAD and VIS parts for some reason are default on No, check them all on Normal. That's what happened to me!
