Hmm, does it have to be Spirit of Half-Life only? :
Haz was correct.
The first Alien movie.

Now that is an original and interesting comp, although I personally probably wouldn't enter.
Hahaha. 
Whoa...oh my god...random guesses prevail once again!
Hmm okey...

Steinin, I believe, is who G_kid was talking about.Ah, nope, I said Stenin in my first post.
Jobabob was the one I was thinking of.
Nobody remember JBAh, yeh I remember him.
And there is one other "oldie" I am forgetting...I know it...I just can't think of who...
I liked old twhl...
All those 840 days ago.
There isn't anything wrong with this current TWHL, it's just people like Andy, Slayer A, Steinin, MattyB, Tlax, Cpl. Insane and Black Cat rarely come here if at all, and they where all interesting people, I remember M0ps avatar when I first came which was by far so much better than his current one.
And another thing is, all the people where kind of even, or more even, there weren't such big distinctions between peope as there are now, like the elite mappers are Kasperg and Rimrook etc. And there wasn't such a noobie wave.
And even though there where a lot of spam threads, people still came out with great maps, every one was mapping really and trying to help each other, where as all you really see now is cs maps, which the majority are Aim ones at that, and people flaming them.

Oops, I thought this was a new thread.
Goatse and tubgirl me thinks.
Yeh...gah...
Great visuals aren't required in a map, this community is far too hyped up on looks of a map.
The original half-life maps are awesome, and they are really fun, where as most of them look awful.
Now I admit, visuals can be important, and improve a map, but it is far more important to have great game play, but saying that, you can't forgo decent visuals either, since even if a map is great fun, and it looks awful, it detracts from it.
Where as if you have a map that is great fun to play, and it looks decent, it has enough detail, and no major faults, then it is fine really.

Hmm, I enjoyed NOLF 2.
Unreal II on the other hand...
And I agree about the fast zombies, but the carrier thing was also pretty nasty really, I hated them more than anything else, because they took so damn much to kill and then threw poisonous headcrabs at you aswell...

Whoa whoa whoa, RB, Unreal II really isn't worth the purchase in my opinion, it is only pretty, nothing more, there is no real gameplay to speak of. Or fun gameplay anyway.
And I agree with CP on Halo.
It may not be hugely detailed in some areas, but it is a lot of fun to play some of the levels, and it is highly polished, without relying on grahics fully, thought the graphics are actually quite good really, for a console.

Do you though?
I often us MS paint to plan levels.
But I also quite often jsut make it up as I go along, think of a first room, make it, detail it etc. then moveo nto the next etc.
Do each room as you go along.

Beat them with a stick.
That is a good point Kasperg, Unreal II looked incredible, but it just wasn't that great fun to play.
There where some fun bits, but nothing compared to say HL2.
I don't think I ever played Tomb Raider, or any of the sequels, properly anyway, I played the first level, got bored/stuck and gave up.
@Hunter - Wasn't it Jedi Knight : Dark Forces II that had you running through a ship that was crashing to earth or something? And the level kept rotating and blowing up etc. as you where playing?
If it was, that was an awesome level.
And also, just though of another great moment, in Star Craft, where you are the Terran, and you are defending against Zerg for 30mins, and it is fairly easy, but in the last 60 seconds, it all goes to hell, and there is an unstoppable wave of zerg.
I remember beating it, because the Terran have the abillity to lift their buildings off the ground with jets or something, and then the Zerg couldn't destroy the last of my buildings, since it wasn't on the ground.

I am pretty bored, so I thought I'd try to spark some interesting conversation.
I don't care if anything like this has been before, so if you are only going to say something like 'old' or something equally useless, don't.

Anyway, what has made a map great in your opinion? Whether it be a huge setpiece, a innovative idea, or simply the level of detail in a particular area.
For me, one of the greatest maps is the last level of xbox release, Halo, when you have to try and escape a ship reaching meltdown in a basically a jeep, when there are 3 other warring factions on the ship with you, stopping you from escaping, and then when you think you are free, the dropship gets destroyed. And then the final 500m sprint to a dropship, as the timer gets close to zero. Insane.
And also AVP2, the marine campaign, the last level, where you have to run to a dropship, away from the alien hive, superb.
And lastly, off the top of my head, Goldeneye on the n64, the Cradle, where you have to hunt Alec Trevelyan (sp) around this metal monstrosity above the ground.
Yours?

. Saying all hiphop/rap sucks is like saying all maps starting with the letter d sucks.Hehehe, that made me laugh.
I like Muse, Avenged Sevenfold, and eels off and on.
@Grim - Hmm...Pulp Fiction me thinks? With Sam L. Jackson saying it, whoever he played.
It's "Mum" you American fool. 
Looks like you got pwned by a beverage WCD.
Good god, which one is Alex?
Whoa Tycell, I never knew you had cancer man.. :
I agree with Vox about the music thing, it helps creativity and interest in the project if you are listening to some music you love.
Other than that, I don't really know what to say, everything I could say seems a bit self-explanatory.

That's pretty good, some bits look a bit bland and dark, but it looks nice.
Yeh, I agree with Zl.
I always wonder, on forums, how new people always seem to uncover 2 year old threads and stuff, it makes you wonder, do they actually search through 2 years of threads...?

Wow...that's mesmerizing..
Haha, that was incredible.
That bit where there is no spoon because the racoon ate it was hilarious

Yeh I've heard of that, you have to be the more relaxed person or something.
Oh dear oh dear..
I believe the universe is massive, indeed, but it loops itself if you will.Like a Mobius strip in all directions
@Zl - I have always thought that thing about the colours aswell.
Like if someone looks at a wall and says it is blue, and to me it is actually yellow, but I know that as being blue etc.
BTW if you want to say "right" as in to put pen to paper its spelt "Wright".Ahahahahahahaha absolutely pwned.
I very rarely remember my dreams. Don't know if that's a good thing?Me too actually.
I can actually not remember any dreams, I remember all the nightmares I have had, but when I sleep, it is just like I don't dream at all.
@Tycell -
Being in a large open body of water (the sea) in quite deep.I'm really not too fond of the thought of being in a large open body of water either.
And I guess what put me off it is actually quite stupid, but if you have ever seen the movie Finding Nemo, and the bit where the whale comes out of the gloom..yeh
Bam!
:?
This post was made on a thread that has been deleted.
Tazer on it's side!
Ever seen the movie Aliens?
Vereh nice.
when Evidence suggests that Habboi is different.Haha, there is plenty of evidence suggesting Habboi is 'different'.
Because he is a strange, strange boy.
Good, but you lose a zillion points for mis-using forum terminology.Haha, you make me laugh Alex.
You all get far too worked up over this kind of thing, you don't even know each other.
Erm? 
Yep.
No evidence = Pointless thread.
