in Competitions or Collaborations? Post #342565
Honestly, I think all options are good. Mini-competitions allow for quick, fun and quirky maps to be made to keep a constant flow of new content. Long form competitions should happen maybe a handful times throughout the year; This allows longer and more detailed content for everyone to enjoy. Collaboration projects are something that is interesting to me, and I have worked on a couple, although doing it with just a couple of other people rather than a whole forum. I'd rather much have a long-form competition in which I work with another person than a big collaboration however.

My Bottom line: Keep doing mini competitions and throw in longer competitions every once in a while. Collaboration projects seem like a fun idea.

I've played the entries and I'd like to provide my thoughts:

Warpmap - Dr. Orange

Your level was short, sweet and got right to the point. I thought it was very interesting to use portals in that led to nearby sections and solve a short little puzzle or obstacle in order to progress through the previous area. I did enjoy trying to find as many of the lambda caches that I could find (even though they weren't that difficult :P ). The fight at the end was a little rough but It ended up clicking with me that I could use the portals on each side in order to quickly get away from combat. Overall it was really enjoyable and the environments were pretty great too. 8/10

Teleporter Holocaust - Dimbeak

This was a pretty fun experience overall. What I liked about your level a bit more than Orange's was that your portal concept revolved around a main portal that others brought you too to progress. One of the gripes that I had was that I got lost a few times not knowing I had to backtrack but I eventually figured it out. The other thing was that a few bits of structures were causing me to get stuck on them. I don't know if the loads of ammo was intentional but I used it to my advantage. 7/10

You two definitely deserve to be placed higher up as you both had done singleplayer/"story" maps and I only did a multiplayer level. I enjoyed playing both very much.

Chuma, unfortunately, I couldn't get your map to load properly as I was spawning outside of the map, inside of walls. I'm assuming your map is a multiplayer level after I was flying around and exploring the layout. It looked like it would have been fun but as I said, the spawns were all broken when I launched them.

First map that I've attempted for Half-Life. Gotta polish off a few room and add some detail but I'm almost done.
