Either you made another account or it's your friend.
Anyhow, it's rated unfairly. This map is no way deserving of a 5.

Weird map. I quite liked it.
-Stretched textures
-Boring lighting
+ok/interesting Architecture
-Weapon placement
-Gameplay

Since weapon placement seems pretty random and cheap it probably would make a bad gameplay.

I think we should reserve judgement on whether or not he rated his own map until an IP check has been done.

The map looks fairly interesting, though.

Remember everyone.. its just for fun. Put it into perspective.. We're making halflife 1 maps here... Not CGI for the movies.

Again rating your own map...

Strider, you've got to be kidding. Even if it's someone else, this person has rated each of these maps before any download. The comment comes like 2 seconds after the map has been submitted. All circumstantial evidence points to self rating & self commenting.

Budd: No one expects Hollywood CGI, but you can still use Half-Life's capabilities creatively to make your maps look nice. Here I just see a blocky Dr.Seuss building in blackness. Fun maps can looks good. But this doesn't even seem fun.

Dave: All 'evidence' points to his mate rating it. And if it's his mate that's rating his maps, there's nothing we can do about that. It's not all that different from self-rating, it's a litte cheap, but it still ISN'T self-rating.

Isn't slapping a 5-star rating & gloating comment on your friends maps spam?

They're not the same person. IPs don't lie, so quit bitching about his friend giving him a high rating. :/

As for the map - it's far from perfect, though I kind of liked it.

The architecture was mostly clean-ish and average, but EXTREMELY undetailed. The theme being surreal provides you with tons of choices to spice things up in an original and weird way. Didn't see any of that inside the building. Texturing was very dull and wasn't anywhere near surrealistic. Same problem with lighting.
Another thing, that you've overlooked was ambience. Some weird sounds would've been great.
About the gameplay and layout - it's pretty interesting, though as Sajo said, the weapon placement was random. That's a very bad idea for a map with one main battle area, since it makes the map look more like a killbox. The r_speeds were a bit high in the bottom/top of the map, though it's still playable.
Still - making a killbox look like a decent map isn't easy and you've accomplished that quite well. :>
I'd give 2.5 stars, since it's very lacking, but let's make that a 3. Work harder on visuals and the atmosphere and you'll have yourself quite an original and fun map.

If you have multiple computers, or visit a friends house/library, it would be very easy to have a different IP.

Again here... unfair ratings, rate the MAP don't rate the previous comments.

What have you guys got against him?
Commented 17 years ago2007-08-06 04:12:03 UTC Comment #15514
I like the layout of this map, make it larger or get rid of the black and add scenery, better texturing and add some fun stuff like secrets and traps. This kind of map is begging for some. I having a friend rate 5 stars is a bit cheap but dragging his map down with 1 star ratings just to drop the 5 star rating is rather bad. You should have done that THEN rate it properly based on the actual map. We are supposed to be rating the map after all and not the person! This map could be much better, I recommend working on it.

Everyone talking "SPAM" this spam that. Young idiots. Either ya like the damned map or ya don't, be positive. Not ignorant.
