I agree. But I was assuming using plain logic that most people go to bed, even if not at a reasonable hour like Skals, then at most 2 a.m.
I can understand why it's not your case.

Actually it doesn't look as a new 2012 FPS should look like. It has 2007-2008 graphics(I am comparing it to Crysis). Why? It is a console release of course!
(I hope the pc version, if there is any, will look a lot better).

This has been taken to whole new level. I mean, Crollo, some time will pass and I'll see you writing at the end of each forum post something like:

ones right to criticize work', (which is only gained by having work to show) not just criticizing 'ones work.'
Simply put, that is wrong.

Also, Urby, slow down with the vulgarism :).

I was pretty disappointed with the last photos you posted Crollo, especially after you showed us the attentive detail put into the batteries photo(have you taken those elements from 4,5 batteries? :D), like the arranging and the lighting.
But these last photos look pretty generic...
Maybe the stairs photo looks ok.

Also, I didn't have time to apply what you said. But I basically only have one solution: propper. The other suggestions don't apply because the map is giving me this error when all I have is 3 detailed stairways( YES, isn't that frustrating? crashing a game with basically nothing)...

I will have a look into it then Huntey.

Somebody mentioned about Battlefield 3 on this thread. I ignored it until I received the IGN newsletter which linked me to this:

FrostBite 2 engine footage

I really wonder if that FPS is almost achievable with my rig, since the subtitle states that it is a "next generation engine" on a current generation platform.

Well actually I do. But teleportation hasn't been invented yet. Will be reading the news online.
E3 is not for the public, only the big game companies etc that get invited by E3.
Wait, I thought this is a public event?

Anyway, from what you all have been discussing here I can tell that the E3 from this year has been boring. At least until now. Common games(idk really what's the expression for "dozen common games" in english, something that you'd say about movies sometimes too) that people show little to no interest in. Only a few attract some attention.
As the technology advances, the creativity curve in entertainment drops, sadly. You can tell that even by only looking at the gaming industry.

Remakes, same stories, series of the same game, but rarely anything new.

[EDIT] Btw, have you seen any Dirt3 footage yet? Or was it already released?

Also I'd love to see more footage from the new Tomb Raider game that is in production and will be released late 2012. And 2 good simulators: a car racing game(I'd expect GRID 2 or something) and a flight simulator.

Ok, not very helpful but I can tell from those searches something's not good with my map. I want to create a small architecture scene. The problem is that I only have a little walkable space and it's already pretty "detailed". Not as in fancy visuals, but from the geometric point of view.
What can I do? Don't tell me I have to run a program like propper, that means source engine is as shitty as hl1 used to be.

Also, thank you CT that you're the only one that gives a fuck about people's problems on these forums...

Imagine not affording to delete a huge amount of copy-paste elements from your work and then having to manually edit each one because you forgot to do something on the starting element.

That's what happened to me right now, when I have to manually set a part of each of the 116 copy-pasted elements to a func_detail. Doing this rather than starting the copy-paste process again is, sadly, the faster way due to the way they are arranged.

So the bottomline is: BE ATTENTIVE and always double check you starting element in a copy-pasting process!

No, I am certainly not accusing your mapping skills. It's just that... I am pretty bored of seeing mods having a Black Mesa story again and again.

Where's the creativity?

On these forums I have been accused once of trying to make a cs_assault remake, a project I have abandoned long ago. What's the difference in trying to remake a story that revolves around the same Black Mesa everyone knows?
Why not invent a new kind of facility if you like so much scientific facilities?
I mean seriously guys, this is like Rebecca Black releases the Friday videoclip and then everyone decides to remake it using the other days of the week.

Now Archie and Urby will be pissed off at me :D.

Thank you for blocking my edit Joebama.

Wanted to add this:
Also, as Huntey wrote, it's nice coming up with plans of modsgames. Just don't get overexcited, you brought some ideas in the past and they weren't fructified. Archive them instead, you'll have something to look at in the future and reflect upon your own ideas, when it will be possible to really do some massive work(the kind of work that a modnew game involves).

I think it's nice that Dimbark comes up with so many ideas and more importantly, he tries to organize them. That does not mean that if those ideas are not good he must stop making them. All this...
Dude, just stop. Go play outside, or work on some more test maps.
...will inhibit his creativity, really. Don't discourage him. Just show the negative points.
I can't open whatever he linked to(you should try making it a pdf not some obscure file type most of us won't work with in their lives), but I can tell he's trying to come up with some fun multiplayer game with RPG elements(at least that's how I'm explaining the cooldowns and such).

May I suggest changing the title? It's not really appropriate. I can't explain why, I just feel it's a weird title for a mp game.

This map looks really nice and clean but for a bomb defuse map, it's quite small. It's even more weird when you have 2 bomb sites. Also, the layout(which I like) assures a fast gameplay style, more specific to fy maps.

Also, sincerely, I expected more easter eggs.
Is this the final version? It'll be a great addition to the server. I hope I will be able to playetest too on 28(unless we die in 21 :D).
