MAP VAULT Created 20 years ago2003-12-30 17:49:34 UTC by SuperMechaCow

Why does nobody ever even bother to look at or rate/comment on CS maps? just because it's a mod doesn't mean it's in no way connected to hl.

give the cs mappers a little more attention ppl, please

i map for cs and ppl looked at my map straight away! Well, I was actually telling everyone on IRC, probably why, but the reason they dont review them is cos there is too many, it get quite boring! I download em all though!

Wait, shouldnt thisa be in Site comments and Suggestions? Oh well

i guess it should. well, i'm gonna try to upload one in two seconds. actually my third map, but my first to be put in the vault.

Many people prefer single player half life maps to cs

i noticed. anyway. check out my map. http://cariad.co.za/twhl/mapvault_map.php?id=583

try it and rate/comment it please. i'm anxious to get feedback on my first submitted map.

I prefer sp.

sp is more fun really. mp has no real challenges in it. and theres WAY 2 many cs maps around, even the xmas tribute was cs! on a site dedicated to half life mapping.

I also prefer SP

yea, well. there are so many maps out there because they're so damn easy to make crappy ones that make no sense. yesterday, i played on an "aim" map (if you make an aim or fy map, then ur just gay). this map had four short walls and a big square of sand that went on for miles. on one side was all of the t's with ak47s on the ground out of there spawn reach. 10 feet away from the wall was a yellow stripped line, and if you crossed it, the sand burned you to death. on the opposite end was all of ct's with m4a1s and in the same situation.

so in other words, the whole map consisted of 9 total brushes.

i played another in a hollow box that had the pavement texture everywhere except the piece of glass seperating the two teams. the goal was to throw the grenades that were on the ground over the glass and kill the other team. it consisted of 2 brushes and didn't even have a weaponstrip. it even still had a buyzone so you can get guns to shoot thru the glass.

that's why i focus on serious maps. ones that are playable.

Some don't play CS

well, heres the thing, lots of cs maps are really crappy, but lots are really fun that offer lots and lots of different situations and great varied gameplay, a classic is cs_assault for example, i played on this yesterday at a lan place and it was soooo fun and varied i couldnt stop for 2 hours straight! (till i ran outa money) and then there are maps that are real crap and boring (made in like 2 secs and made up of like 5 solids) that are rubbish. there are a lot of ripoff maps like off iceworld (even i have been victim to making a ripoff of iceworld (shame on you jax))

half life multi also has lots of crap maps but good ones aswell, but hl sp is very fun to play thru once and there are maps that are fun once u play thru them the first time but are still very well made and stuff (ex. MINIMICUS) dont get me wrong tho, hl has many many decent maps

basically all im saying is that there are quality maps and there are crap maps, all you have to do is look out for the right things to play to have a fun time

also, sorry bout wasting your time guys i had to get this off my chest

i play cs bot i dont bother looking at them i prefer hl maps......hmmm i made the tutorials on cs...srry lol

basically you cant judge games just cos a bit of it (some maps) are crap. anyway, here at twhl we aim to produce high quality good fun maps dont we? so lets leave all the crap maps to other people with nothing better to do than endlessely make boring small gay fy maps

hail to jax

"Hello sir."
"OK I'll cover you."
"You aren't scared are ya?"
"Roger that. Let's run like hell!"
"OK. Why not? Didn't want to die alone anyway."
"Shut up! someone's coming."
"Did you see something move?"
"Nope."
"Did you see that thing with the missin leg?"
"Didn't you already ask me that?"
"Yup."
"It's OK sir I can take him."
"Aim for the head, if you can find it."
"Die you blood sucker!"
"Eww. Something died down here."
"Yeah let's go."

THE REAL HALF-LIFE

dude... i'm the one who's supporting cs anyways. I only make the good playable maps, or maps that makes sense at least.

yes so everyone who makes cs maps, make them original and fun and NEW! not bland and 'quisentially the same thing with a roof or diff textures' plz dont just release crap maps because you can

My first map was an FY map! Hm, musta been... eight brushes!
Big pillar in middle of square hollow green room!

I hope this is in Pepper's cs tutorials:
Stay away from AIM and FY maps. Only guys without inspiration make those. YOU CAN DO BETTER!!! CS WASN*T MEANT TO BE POINTLESS KILLING

SP maps are more enjoyable because you need a bunch of people to play MP maps, therefore it takes much longer to finnaly test it, and there are a whole bunch of MODs.

I know the only map I've put in the map vault was CS but I really want to see more HL maps, they are a lot more fun.

ever heard of bots? run around your map waypointing then release map with waypoints so everyone can play it single, its basically single player cs

I always include POD-Bot waypoints when giving out my maps. That's how i test-play my maps. I know they at least work and about what can be done with them.

If you people don't playtest CS maps then just get POD-Bot. It's worth it.

o and thank you steinin for saying exactly wut I was trying to myself.

At least we share opinion.

yea, next thing u know i'll become a jedi cow...

i mean jax, sorry tlax a typo

i was wondering about that. tlax never said anything unti lafter u said that. that had me a little baffled.

lol, anyone ever played counter-life? its a mod that is half-life with counter-strike weapons, its lotsa fun, and has anyone noticed that counter-strike and half-life both have hyphens? i bet its some kooky scheme by sierra

hey i made a 1.5 cs spray and it was the original 1.5 picture of the ct standing outside de_dust tunnel and on the top it says Counter-Strike so i wrote *Supermario over the Counter so it said "*Supermario-Strike" and it had a hypen so maybe i was once a sierra employee whos memory was erased and was put back into the past which is now current day january 7th 2004. anyone i enjoy making cs sprays as long as cs maps and its the only sierra game i would play because ive never seen a snark or those other creatures in real life so that kind of loses interest. ive never seen a terrorist face to face but i no they exist. maybe snarks will exist in the future.. maybe i made a game in the future based on the real life creatures "snarks" and put the in half life and when i was sent back in time i couldnt remember so now im just a dedicated cs player. =/ i should be doing my homework cause its 10:50 and i got school tommorrow (i no dont cry ill be back when its over) and id rather sit here typing to myself and other people scimming what i read and wishing they could delete half the pointless things i say but i got homework so im going to go do it now =/
