Welcome to my world 'World Craft dude'
Honestly I agree that if you have shit computer, then you should'nt play Half-Life at all!
Your maps are good and huge is better!
Ignore the gay remarks on taking milk and cookies and getting fresh air although you are being slightly dramatic about all this I entirely agree with your reasoning.
Half-Life 2 mapping is equal to Half-Life 1 mapping but I feel that HL is special because of the hundreds of mods created etc etc
If this thread has any point to it then chill a bit and relax, think of your so called happy mapping lives and get on with it
