After a while I stopped by here to see how things are going.
First of all the new layout, where everything is misaligned for some reason, is rather annoying. I have to scroll down for every page every time I click something, I'm not sure why the layout is messed up, and whether anyone else has noticed this. But that's not too important.
First of all, I want to tell all the veterans of this site
that this is the most random map I have ever seen on this site.OK SO NOW Today we have to discuss what I think are two of the BEST THE BEST half-life (1) maps I ever played. They are simple to find on the internet.
THE BEST MAPS ARE
3rd505th - made by a man who was in the army, so you know it's good.
intrvw1 - the G-man interviews gordon after hiring him for employment.
I want you guys to take a look at these maps, for these professionals will show you what real mapping is all about. Notice the weapon and enemy placement in strategic locations around the level. Notice the use of func_ entities such as func_trains and func_pendulums. Notice the appropriate use of water and glass. These maps are what the industries covet. Learn from them. Make maps like them. Then Learn to Like them.
P.S. I'm making another single-map mission so be patient. Not that anyone plays goldsource anymore, but,
It's as basic as it gets. [ url] LINK [ /url] with no spaces.
Bullshit
Also, couldn't you provide links?
I dug up 'The Interview' map...but that other map has long since been lost, all the downloads I could find have died long ago.
edit found one for 3rd 505th on atomic gamer, but i must say, this map looks utter shit from screenies..

From 3RD505TH.txt:
Machine used : Pentium 166-MMX (that's all!) If he tested his map on a computer that old it can't have much detail. That's enough to keep me away.
