In my previous journal I said I just finished Crysis.
Well, know that I'm now a Crysis mapper. I'm on my way making my first map( it's kinda like a test map with all sorts of stuff).
Compared to hl\hl2 mapping, crysis mapping is awesomely fun.
Especially because there's no compilation process. You just press ctrl+g and the 3D view instantly becomes your play view.
More like dropping prefabs on the terrain...
Except there you chose from premade terrain too.
